Invasive mechanical has been associated with high mortality in COVID-19. Alternative therapy of flow nasal (HFNT) greatly debated around the world for use COVID-19 pandemic due to concern increased healthcare worker transmission.This was a retrospective analysis consecutive patients admitted Temple University Hospital Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from 10 March 2020 24 April moderate-to-severe respiratory failure treated HFNT. Primary outcome prevention intubation. Of 445 COVID-19, 104 met our...
Virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) with fused fluoroscopy and vessel mapping provides a point of entry (POE) for puncturing airway wall to biopsy lesions. The study was designed evaluate the safety efficacy this technology diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions.It prospective, single-arm, multicentre study. Patients underwent lesions Archimedes® VBN System via POE using one two techniques: (1) transparenchymal nodule access (BTPNA) (2) guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA)....
Beta-blockers are commonly prescribed for patients with cardiovascular disease. Providers have been wary of treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) beta-blockers due to concern bronchospasm, but retrospective studies shown that cardio-selective safe in COPD and possibly beneficial. However, these benefits may reflect symptom improvements the cardiac effects medication. The purpose this study is evaluate associations between beta-blocker use both exacerbation rates longitudinal...
The use of high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) to treat COVID-19 pneumonia has been greatly debated around the world due concerns about increased health care worker transmission and delays in invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Herein, we analyzed utility noninvasive ROX (ratio oxygen saturation) index predict need for timing IMV.This study aimed assess whether can be a useful score intubation IMV patients receiving HFNT as treatment COVID-19-related hypoxemic respiratory failure.This is...
Abstract Use of high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) to treat COVID-19 pneumonia has been greatly debated around the world due concern for increased healthcare worker transmission and delays in invasive mechanical Ventilation (IMV). Methods A retrospective analysis consecutive patients admitted Temple University Hospital Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from March 10, 2020, May 17, 2020 with moderate severe respiratory failure treated High Flow (HFNT). HFNT were divided into two groups: only progressed...
Comorbid disease is a risk factor for severe coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection. However, initial rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) in case series were low and severity COVID-19 COPD patients was variable.We performed retrospective study admitted with evaluated outcomes those without and/or emphysema. Patients identified as having if they had diagnosis the medical record history airflow-obstruction on spirometry, or tobacco use prescribed long-acting bronchodilator(s)....

Airway complications after lung transplantation are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Bronchial dehiscence presents within month is typically diagnosed radiographically as sentinel gas pocket at the anastomotic site confirmed with bronchoscopy. A 66-year-old man idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who underwent right 4 weeks prior developed chest pain palpable crepitus over his wall. X-ray revealed subcutaneous emphysema small right-sided pneumothorax. Computed tomography (CT) thorax...
Rationale: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has provoked an unprecedented global pandemic. Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) rates in COVID-19 have been reported to be from 2.3% 33%. The wide range intubation is attributed part diverging institutional practices for the care of patients presenting with hypoxemic respiratory failure. role high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) treatment controversial and underreported. Objectives: To report a retrospective analysis comparing outcomes treated...
