<h3>Introduction</h3> We have developed a novel cough challenge methodology and previously showed that evoked maximal responses, defined as E<sub>max</sub>, better discriminate health from disease than traditional endpoints.<sup>1</sup> It is unclear how other factors influence E<sub>max</sub> or it relates to the low rates observed in health. therefore aimed investigate variability, repeatability influences on larger group of healthy volunteers. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess maximum...
Introduction: New onset atrial fibrillation is common in sepsis. Norepinephrine, the first-line vasopressor for septic shock, can cause tachyarrhythmias. Limited data suggests switching norepinephrine to phenylephrine may decrease heart rate and improve control. This study compared effect of this transition on clinical interventions control patients who developed norepinephrine. Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort shock admitted medical surgical intensive care units at UMass...
