Objectives . To investigate the effect of cause acute respiratory failure and role comorbidities both chronic on outcome COPD patients admitted to Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU) with treated NIV. Design Observational prospective study. Patients Methods 176 consecutively our RICU over a period 3 years NIV were evaluated. In all demographic, clinical, functional parameters recorded including failure, SAPS II score, Charlson comorbidity index, further not listed in index. success was...
Up to fifteen percent of patients with novel pandemic coronavirus disease (Covid-19) have acute respiratory failure (ARF). Ratio between arterial partial pressure oxygen (PaO2) and fraction inspired (FiO2), P/F, is currently used as a marker ARF severity in Covid-19. P/F does not reflect the efforts made by maintain blood oxygenation, such tachypnea hyperpnea, leading hypocapnia. Standard PaO2, value PaO2 adjusted for carbon dioxide (PaCO2) subject, better reflects pathophysiology hypoxemic...
Although increased nitric oxide (NO) production in asthma is mediated largely by upregulation of the inducible form synthase (iNOS, or NOS 2), some studies have suggested an important role for usually constitutive neural isoform (nNOS, 1).To investigate how 1 may influence allergic inflammation, we used knockout mice and their wild-type (WT) controls.Mice were sensitized challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) using a protocol known to upregulate 2 airways.In addition expected increases activity,...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> The outcomes of patients admitted to a respiratory ICU (RICU) have been evaluated in the past, but no study has considered influence location prior RICU admission. <h3>METHODS:</h3> We analyzed prospectively collected data from 326 consecutive 7-bed RICU. primary end points were survival and severity morbidity-related complications, according patient9s Three admission pathways considered: step-down for transferred ICUs our hospital; step-up coming wards or other medical...
Background/Aims Although an increasing volume of research is emerging, rehabilitative treatment patients with COVID-19 still continues to be a matter great importance that must explored further. The purpose the present study was describe effects inpatient rehabilitation in acute treated sub-intensive hospital setting during pandemic. Methods A retrospective analysis conducted based on prospectively collected data 192 undergoing physiotherapeutic regimen their hospitalisation. Patients were...
