The risk of barotrauma associated with different types ventilatory support is unclear in COVID-19 patients. primary aim this study was to evaluate the effect respiratory strategies on occurrence; we also sought determine frequency and clinical characteristics patients who experienced complication.
Persistent hypercapnia after COPD exacerbation is associated with excess mortality and early rehospitalization. High Flow Nasal cannula (HFNC), may be theoretically an alternative to long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV), since physiological studies have shown a reduction in PaCO2 level few hours of treatment. In this clinical study we assessed the acceptability HFNC its effectiveness reducing patients recovering from Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure (AHRF) episode. We also...
Pneumothorax (PNX) and pneumomediastinum (PNM) are potential complications of COVID-19, but their influence on patients' outcomes remains unclear. The aim the study was to assess incidence, risk factors, severe COVID-19 complicated with PNX/PNM.A retrospective multicenter case-control analysis conducted in patients admitted for respiratory failure intermediate care units Treviso area, Italy, from March 2020 April 2021. Clinical characteristics without PNX/PNM were compared.Among 1213...
Nasal high flow (NHF) therapy is an established form of non invasive respiratory support used in acute and chronic care. Recently, a new nasal cannula with asymmetric prongs was approved for clinical use. The benefits the have not yet been defined no evidence are available on use NHF patient Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We conducted single-centre, prospective, physiologic, crossover, randomised study to investigate effects partial pressure carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels two...
Multiple organ failure has been considered a contraindication for noninvasive ventilation (NIV).We described the outcome of Do-not-Intubate (DNI) patients with acute respiratory failure, treated NIV and, subsequently, necessitating renal replacement therapy (RRT).Seven admitted to our Respiratory Intensive Care Unit, developed Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) during treatment and received RRT 12.8 ± 8 days together NIV. All but one, discontinued support because they regained satisfactory urinary...
Nighttime and non-working days are characterized by a shortage of dedicated staff available resources. Previous studies have highlighted that patients admitted during the weekend had higher mortality than on weekdays (“weekend effect”). However, most focused specific conditions controversial results were reported. We conducted an observational, monocentric, retrospective cohort study, based data collected prospectively to evaluate impact timing NIV initiation clinical outcomes in COPD with...
