This was a retrospective observational study of 150 (18.75%) patients with prolonged hospitalization in a tertiary hospital in Dubai from 1 April to 1 July 2020. (who.int)
The common reasons for prolonged hospitalization were mandatory isolation 28% (n = 62), hospital-acquired infections 17% (n = 37), acute respiratory distress syndrome 15% (n = 32), myopathy/neuropathy 14% (n = 31), pulmonary fibrosis requiring oxygen supplementation 14% (n = 31), and completion of COVID-19 treatment 12% (n = 25). (who.int)
To make optimal use of available hospital resources, reasons that directly or indirectly contributed to the prolonged hospitalization of patients should be considered and addressed during future pandemics or disease outbreaks. (who.int)
Study Design, Population and Sample size requires hospitalization and oxygen support, and 5% require admission to an intensive care unit [5-8]. (who.int)

We hypothesised the ADO index (for 'Age, Dyspnoea and airflow Obstruction'), which predicts mortality, could be applied to our LTOT population to help identify patients with poor prognosis. (bmj.com)
Patients' length of survival was calculated from initiation of LTOT. (bmj.com)
Conclusions This study showed wide variation in survival in a patient population on LTOT. (bmj.com)

Paradoxically, high flow oxygen in excess of that required to relieve arterial hypoxaemia may cause a reversible decrease in oxygen consumption. (bmj.com)
These adverse effects are not widely known and high flow oxygen is widely prescribed to breathless patients, regardless of the presence of arterial hypoxaemia. (bmj.com)

It attaches to the oxygen tank or the humidifier bottle. (lung.org)
A humidifier is required for oxygen flows at over 4 liters per minutes (continuous). (lung.org)
The type of humidifier you use will depend on your type of home oxygen and how much oxygen you need. (lung.org)
A humidifier can help ease the nose and sinus dryness that can come with oxygen use. (lung.org)

Patients with diabetes have a 3-11% annual risk of developing lower-extremity ulcers ( 1 , 2 ). (diabetesjournals.org)
Background: The healing of foot wounds in patients with diabetes mellitus is frequently complicated by critical limb threatening ischemia (neuro-ischemic diabetic foot syndrome, DFS). (mdpi.com)
We anticipate continued widespread use of this guide in assisting practitioners in the care of their patients with diabetes. (cdc.gov)
This publication is designed to help the primary care practitioner in the day-to-day management of patients with diabetes. (cdc.gov)
A companion publication entitled Take Charge of Your Diabetes: A Guide for Patients is available. (cdc.gov)
Like other chronic illnesses, diabetes mellitus poses a wide range of problems for patients and their family members. (cdc.gov)
Direct psychological consequences can arise from any one of these factors, making it harder for patients to treat their diabetes and live productive, enjoyable lives. (cdc.gov)

CHF patients welcome an inconspicuous, lightweight single cannula that not only may optimize oxygen absorption and improve health, but also improve appearance. (rtmagazine.com)
Treatment compliance is critical to ensure that the CHF patient is getting enough oxygen, and the introduction of the Uni-flo2 single cannula supports this objective," said Campbell Cauthen, RRT, co-inventor of Uni-flo2. (rtmagazine.com)
It's always gratifying to hear from patients who tell us that they especially like the way they look with a single cannula. (rtmagazine.com)

For patients with worsening symptoms such as breathlessness, confusion, chest pain, or extreme weakness, admit them to hospital immediately. (who.int)

With the advances of magnetic resonance technology, the CBF, oxygen extraction fraction, and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen can be measured in MRI. (ajnr.org)
Our aim was to measure the CBF, oxygen extraction fraction, and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen use in patients with different severities of middle cerebral artery stenosis or acute stroke by using the arterial spin-labeling and susceptibility-weighted imaging techniques. (ajnr.org)
Arterial spin-labeling and SWI sequences were used to acquire CBF, oxygen extraction fraction, and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen. (ajnr.org)
The oxygen extraction fraction in hemispheres with mild MCA stenosis (group 1) was remarkably higher than that in the contralateral hemisphere. (ajnr.org)
The oxygen extraction fraction gradually increased in groups 1-3. (ajnr.org)
Moreover, the oxygen extraction fraction and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen significantly increased and decreased, respectively, in the occluded MCA region during acute stroke. (ajnr.org)
A reduction in cerebral blood flow in brain tissue is typically accompanied by a compensatory increase in the oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) to maintain normal neuronal function. (ajnr.org)
Each period was characterised by a single nurse, respiratory support mode and fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio 2 ) level (0.22-0.49 or ≥0.5). (bmj.com)

We excluded patients who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or who initiated ventilation more than 24 h after ICU admission. (biomedcentral.com)
Meanwhile, previous studies focused on only the association between PaO 2 or FiO 2 during the early onset of illness and mortality, usually within 24 h after ICU admission, and many of these studies are limited by using only a single measure of PaO 2 or FiO 2 to define oxygen exposure for entire ICU admission. (biomedcentral.com)
Reassess the patient, if oxygen level is not ventilation improving, arrange for hospital admission for effective management g. (who.int)
Arrange for admission into a health facility with soap and water if not disposable with capacity to manage the patient immediately h. (who.int)

For too long, patients who require a high liter flow of oxygen have not been able to leave their homes, jeopardizing their physical and mental health and quality of life. (pulmonaryfibrosis.org)
Do not stop or change your flow of oxygen. (medlineplus.gov)

Closed-loop automated control could be of particular benefit for patients in isolation with decreased visibility, surveillance and monitoring. (manchester.ac.uk)
Provides individually isolated accommodation and basic services for people who were in contact with confirmed patients in those settings where home-isolation is not possible or for mildly sick suspected patients. (who.int)
Although many patients were released early, particularly later during the pandemic when the number of recommended days of isolation was reduced, a sizable percentage of patients needed to stay in hospital for an extended period (2). (who.int)

The price for a tank of oxygen had jumped to $US140 ($185) from the usual $66, suppliers said. (abc.net.au)
You must have a back-up tank of oxygen gas in case your power goes out. (medlineplus.gov)

In the present study, 51 patients with CSA and HF (New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes II-III) were assigned to receive either nocturnal oxygen (HOT group n=26) or usual breathing (control group n=25) for 52 weeks. (go.jp)
