A motor neuron disease marked by progressive weakness of the muscles innervated by cranial nerves of the lower brain stem. Clinical manifestations include dysarthria, dysphagia, facial weakness, tongue weakness, and fasciculations of the tongue and facial muscles. The adult form of the disease is marked initially by bulbar weakness which progresses to involve motor neurons throughout the neuroaxis. Eventually this condition may become indistinguishable from AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS. Fazio-Londe syndrome is an inherited form of this illness which occurs in children and young adults.

Autosomal dominant myopathy with proximal weakness and early respiratory muscle involvement maps to chromosome 2q. (1/1819)

Two Swedish families with autosomal dominant myopathy, who also had proximal weakness, early respiratory failure, and characteristic cytoplasmic bodies in the affected muscle biopsies, were screened for linkage by means of the human genome screening set (Cooperative Human Linkage Center Human Screening Set/Weber version 6). Most chromosome regions were completely excluded by linkage analysis (LOD score <-2). Linkage to the chromosomal region 2q24-q31 was established. A maximum combined two-point LOD score of 4.87 at a recombination fraction of 0 was obtained with marker D2S1245. Haplotype analysis indicated that the gene responsible for the disease is likely to be located in the 17-cM region between markers D2S2384 and D2S364. The affected individuals from these two families share an identical haplotype, which suggests a common origin.  (+info)

Outcome for cancer patients requiring mechanical ventilation. (2/1819)

PURPOSE: To describe hospital survival for cancer patients who require mechanical ventilation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective, multicenter observational study was performed at five academic tertiary care hospitals. Demographic and clinical variables were obtained on consecutive cancer patients at initiation of mechanical ventilation, and information on vital status at hospital discharge was acquired. RESULTS: Our analysis was based on 782 adult cancer patients who met predetermined inclusion criteria. The overall observed hospital mortality was 76%, with no statistically significant differences among the five study centers. Seven variables (intubation after 24 hours, leukemia, progression or recurrence of cancer, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, cardiac arrhythmias, presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation, and need for vasopressor therapy) were associated with an increased risk of death, whereas prior surgery with curative intent was protective. The predictive model based on these variables had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.736, with Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistics of 7.19; P = .52. CONCLUSION: This model can be used to estimate the probability of hospital survival for classes of adult cancer patients who require mechanical ventilation and can help to guide physicians, patients, and families in deciding goals and direction of treatment. Prospective independent validation in different medical settings is warranted.  (+info)

Effects of acute prolonged exposure to high-altitude hypoxia on exercise-induced breathlessness. (3/1819)

The direct effects of hypoxia on exercise-induced breathlessness are unclear. Increased breathlessness on exercise is known to occur at high altitude, but it is not known whether this is related to the hypoxia per se, or to other ventilatory parameters. To examine the role of high-altitude hypoxia in exercise-induced breathlessness, studies were performed in 10 healthy, normal subjects at sea level and after acute exposure to an altitude of 4450 m. Although the perception of hand weights did not alter between sea level and high altitude, the intensity of exercise-induced breathlessness increased significantly at high altitude. This was associated with a higher minute ventilation and respiratory frequency for any given exercise level, whereas tidal volume was not significantly altered from sea level values. The increased intensity of breathlessness with exercise did not change significantly over the 5 days at high altitude. These results suggest that the increased intensity of exercise-induced breathlessness at high altitude is not related to peripheral mechanisms or the pattern of ventilation, or to the level of hypoxia per se, but to the level of reflexly increased ventilation.  (+info)

Microscopic polyangiitis: clinical and laboratory findings in eighty-five patients. (4/1819)

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and outcomes in patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) who were enrolled in various clinical trials conducted by the French Vasculitis Study Group. METHODS: A cohort of 85 patients meeting the Chapel Hill criteria for MPA participated in the study. Seventy-one of them were included in prospective therapeutic trials. Eighty-one diagnoses were biopsy proven. In the other patients, diagnosis was based on clinical findings. RESULTS: Forty-seven men and 38 women, with a mean +/- SD age of 56.8 +/- 14.6 years, met the criteria for MPA. Their main clinical symptoms were renal manifestations (78.8%), weight loss (72.9%), skin involvement (62.4%), fever (55.3%), mononeuritis multiplex (57.6%), arthralgias (50.6%), myalgias (48.2%), hypertension (34.1%), lung involvement (24.7%; alveolar hemorrhage 11.8%), and cardiac failure (17.6%). The mean +/- SD serum creatinine level before treatment was 2.59 +/- 2.96 mg/dl; 47 patients had renal insufficiency (serum creatinine > 1.36 mg/dl). Eight patients underwent dialysis at the time of diagnosis, and long-term dialysis was necessary for 10 patients. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) were present in 38 of 51 patients (74.5%), of whom 33 had a perinuclear staining pattern (pANCA) and 5 had a cytoplasmic pattern. Antibodies to proteinase 3 were present in 4 patients and antibodies to myeloperoxidase were detected in 31, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Of the 30 patients who underwent renal and celiac angiography, 4 had microaneurysms. Of the 29 patients (34.1%) who had relapses, 8 died during or after the relapse. During followup, 28 of the 85 patients (32.9%) died. The mean +/- SD duration of followup of the group was 69.9 +/- 60.6 months. Deaths were less frequent when patients had been treated with steroids and immunosuppressive drugs (13 patients [24.1%]) than with steroids alone (15 patients [48.4%]) (P < 0.01). The 5-year survival rate was 74%. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that MPA is a multisystemic disease in which renal symptoms are frequent, but the disease is also associated with general symptoms, arthritis, mononeuritis multiplex, and other manifestations that are also seen in various vasculitides. The rarity of abnormal angiogram findings and the high frequency of pANCA are characteristic of MPA. In most cases, the outcome is comparable with those of other systemic vasculitides, but relapses are frequent.  (+info)

Frequency of arrhythmias and other cardiac abnormalities in fulminant hepatic failure. (5/1819)

In a series of 106 patients with fulminant hepatic failure and grade 4 encephalopathy, cardiac arrhythmias and other abnormalities occurred in 92 per cent. The most common was sinus tachycardia (75%) and this was the only abnormality in 22 per cent of the patients. Sudden cardiac arrest occurred in 25 per cent, various ectopic beats in 20 per cent, and heart block or bradycardia in 18 per cent. Other electrocardiographic abnormalities, mostly of the T wave and ST segment, were found in 31 per cent. Cardiac and respiratory arrests were usually unrelated to each other and both frequently occurred without warning. Only 7 out of 71 patients with arrhythmias other than sinus tachycardia survived, compared with 15 out of 31 patients without them (P less than 0-005). During the latter part of the series when an arrhythmia computer was used to monitor 38 patients, it was shown that significantly lower arterial oxygen levels occurred in those with arrhythmias, other than sinus tachycardia, than in those without. They were also found to be more acidotic and hyperkalaemic, and a higher number required dialysis and ventilation. Macroscopical cardiac abnormalities including scattered petechial haemorrhages, small pericardial effusions, and fatty, pale, and flabby ventricles, were found at necropsy in 64 per cent of the patients examined. Combinations of these macroscopical abnormalities occurred, particularly in the paracetamol overdose group. Another necropsy finding of possible significance in the pathogenesis of arrhythmias was cerebral oedema, present in 48 per cent of the patients examined, and often associated with coning of the brain stem. However, 7 of the 16 patients who suffered asystolic cardiac arrests had no macroscopical abnormality of either heart or brain. In the management of patients with fulminant hepatic failure continuous cardiac monitoring is essential. Correction of the biochemical and coagulation defects may decrease the frequency of arrhythmias but studies of the mechanism and control of cerebral oedema and its relation to cardiovascular function are urgently needed.  (+info)

Impact of nasal ventilation on survival in hypercapnic Duchenne muscular dystrophy. (6/1819)

BACKGROUND: Respiratory failure is the commonest cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Life expectancy is less than one year once diurnal hypercapnia develops. This study examines the effects of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) on survival in symptomatic Duchenne patients with established ventilatory failure. METHODS: Nocturnal NIPPV was applied in 23 consecutive patients with DMD of mean (SD) age 20.3 (3.4) years who presented with diurnal and nocturnal hypercapnia. RESULTS: One year and five year survival rates were 85% (95% CI 69 to 100) and 73% (95% CI 53 to 94), respectively. Early changes in arterial blood gas tensions following NIPPV occurred with mean (SD) PO2 increasing from 7.6 (2.1) kPa to 10.8 (1.3) kPa and mean (SD) PCO2 falling from 10.3 (4.5) kPa to 6.1 (1.0) kPa. Improvements in arterial blood gas tensions were maintained over five years. Health perception and social aspects of SF-36 health related quality of life index were reported as equivalent to other groups with nonprogressive disorders using NIPPV. CONCLUSIONS: Nasal ventilation is likely to increase survival in hypercapnic patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and should be considered as a treatment option when ventilatory failure develops.  (+info)

Speed of onset and offset and mechanisms of ventilatory depression from sevoflurane: an experimental study in the cat. (7/1819)

BACKGROUND: Inhalational anesthetics depress breathing dose dependently. The authors studied the dynamics of ventilation on changes in end-tidal sevoflurane partial pressure. To learn more about the mechanisms of sevoflurane-induced respiratory depression, the authors also studied its influence on the dynamic ventilatory response to carbon dioxide. METHODS: Experiments were performed in cats anesthetized with alpha chloralose-urethane. For protocol 1, step changes in end-tidal sevoflurane partial pressure were applied and inspired ventilation was measured. Breath-to-breath inspired ventilation was related to the sevoflurane concentration in a hypothetical effect compartment based on an inhibitory sigmoid Emax model. For protocol 2, step changes in the end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide were applied at 0, 0.5, and 1% end-tidal sevoflurane. The inspired ventilation-end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide data were analyzed using a two-compartment model of the respiratory controller, which consisted of a fast peripheral and slow central compartment. Values are the mean +/- SD. RESULTS: In protocol 1, the effect-site half-life of respiratory changes caused by alterations in end-tidal sevoflurane partial pressure was 3.6+/-1.0 min. In protocol 2, at 0.50% sevoflurane, the central and peripheral carbon dioxide sensitivities decreased to 43+/-20% and 36+/-18% of control. At 1% sevoflurane, the peripheral carbon dioxide sensitivity decreased further, to 12+/-13% of control, whereas the central carbon dioxide sensitivity showed no further decrease. CONCLUSIONS: Steady state inspired ventilation is reached after 18 min (i.e., 5 half-lives) on stepwise changes in end-tidal sevoflurane. Anesthetic concentrations of sevoflurane have, in addition to an effect on pathways common to the peripheral and central chemoreflex loops, a selective effect on the peripheral chemoreflex loop. Sevoflurane has similar effects on ventilatory control in humans and cats.  (+info)

The successful treatment of hypercapnic respiratory failure with oral modafinil Helen Parnell,1 Ginny Quirke,1 Sally Farmer,1 Sumbo Adeyemo,2 Veronica Varney11Respiratory Department, 2Pharmacy Department, St Helier Hospital, Carshalton, Surrey, UKAbstract: Hypercapnic respiratory failure is common in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is usually treated by nasal ventilation. Not all patients requiring such ventilation can tolerate it, with anxiety and phobia influencing their reaction, along with treatment failure. We report the case histories of six patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure who were at risk of death due to refusal of nasal ventilation or its failure despite ongoing treatment. We report their improvement with oral modafinil 200 mg tablets used as a respiratory stimulant, which led to discharge, improved arterial blood gases, and offset further admissions with hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Doctors Ask: The syndrome of acute respiratory failure has different causes of occurrence. The emergence of symptoms of acute respiratory failure requires the provision of emergency care and further hospitalization. The syndrome of acute respiratory insufficiency is a pathological condition characterized by a sharp change in the process of gas exchange in the lungs.
The investigators in this study are concerned about the harmful effects of oxygen exposure in newborn infants, particularly at high concentrations. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure (HRF) in term and late-preterm babies greater than 34 weeks gestation. Hypoxic respiratory failure occurs when a patients lungs cannot get enough oxygen into their bloodstream. This condition is traditionally treated with high concentrations of oxygen and most often requires the patient be placed on a ventilator (breathing machine). The administration of inhaled nitric oxygen directly into the lungs often improves blood oxygen levels and allows caretakers to reduce the amount of oxygen given to the baby. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if giving the inhaled nitric oxide earlier in the course of disease improves the effectiveness of the drug, reduces the amount of cellular injury from oxygen exposure, and decreases the total amount of ...
The Neonatal Research Network developed and initiated 3 multicenter randomized controlled clinical trials evaluating inhaled nitric oxide therapy. Additional projects evolved from these efforts including basic science research and observational investigations. This article provides a historical prospective of the Networks investigations related to the diagnosis and management of neonatal hypoxic respiratory failure, especially those related to inhaled nitric oxide therapy. It will review the Networks contributions toward advancing the clinical care of the newborn with severe hypoxic respiratory failure.
Background: Long-term non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) might improve the outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic respiratory failure. A study was undertaken to investigate whether nocturnal NIPPV in addition to pulmonary rehabilitation improves health-related quality of life, functional status and gas exchange compared with pulmonary rehabilitation alone in patients with COPD with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.. Methods: 72 patients with COPD were randomly assigned to nocturnal NIPPV in addition to rehabilitation (n = 37) or rehabilitation alone (n = 35). Outcome measures were assessed before and after the 3-month intervention period.. Results: The Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire total score improved 15.1 points with NIPPV + rehabilitation compared with 8.7 points with rehabilitation alone. The difference of 7.5 points was not significant (p = 0.08). However, compared with rehabilitation alone, ...

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation requires careful application in appropriate patients. It is most likely to benefit patients who are expected to improve rapidly, particularly those with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, all forms of noninvasive ventilation, including CPAP, require scrupulous clinical monitoring so that endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are instituted promptly before life-threatening respiratory failure becomes imminent and to avoid emergency intubation or cardiopulmonary arrest. Patients with acute lung injury who were chosen for the trial by Delclaux and colleagues might represent a group for whom many clinicians would avoid using CPAP because rapid improvement is not expected and previous evidence of effectiveness in this population is lacking. Patients with acute hypoxemic nonhyercapnic respiratory insufficiency may benefit from maintaining CPAP as continuously as possible, given the potential for rapid ...

Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) was initiated in polio centers in the mid-50s (iron lung). Ten years ago, chronic respiratory insufficiency patients began to be treated with positive pressure ventilation via tracheostomy tube. Survival of kyphoscoliotic and myopathic patients was impressive in uncontrolled studies. Today it appears that similar results may be obtained with a new non-invasive technique, nasal mechanical ventilation. The present situation of HMV in Switzerland (number of patients and their location) and the results of this treatment are described. In addition, we report on a short series of 24 Swiss patients collected in 4 centers. We show that HMV is possible in Switzerland and that the results in survival and quality of life are excellent, provided that the indications for this technique are consistent with the recommendations in the literature.

50 mmHg; chronically, 20 mmHg above baseline), or both. The treatment is largely symptomatic and supportive, Dr. Pansiello says. There can be many causes of respiratory distress in children. When that happens, your lungs cant release oxygen … The higher incidence of respiratory failure in infants has several developmental explanations. Chronic respiratory failure - Respiratory failure happens gradually as a result of a long-standing disease or condition. Children having difficulty breathing often show signs that they are having to work hard to breathe or are not getting enough oxygen, indicating respiratory distress. High-flow outside ICU appears to be feasible in children with AHRF and the required proportion of escalation was lower compared to standard-oxygen. Learn more about Amazon Lockers.

Acute respiratory failure in adults with severe thoracic scoliosis is said to be a preterminal event. The following analysis of 13 consecutive cases contradicts this assumption. All patients demonstrated a severe restrictive ventilatory defect (average vital capacity, 39% of predicted). In addition, five patients had evidence of airways obstruction, and six had abnormal steady-state diffusing capacities (average, 49% of predicted). Respiratory failure was precipitated by acute bronchopulmonary infection in seven cases, cor pulmonale in five, and barbiturates in one. Admission arterial blood gases were severely deranged: average arterial PCO2, 66 mm Hg; average pH, 7.31; average arterial oxygen saturation, 54%. ...

This systematic review shows a clear benefit of NPPV as an adjunct treatment to usual medical care in the management of patients admitted to hospital with respiratory failure secondary to an acute exacerbation of COPD. NPPV with usual medical care significantly reduces mortality, endotracheal intubation, treatment failure, complications, length of hospital stay, and blood gas tensions.. Although NPPV reduces the need for intubation, in some patients NPPV will fail, and it is essential that a decision be made with the patient on what should be done in this eventuality. Patients for whom NPPV eventually fails, despite initial tolerance and effectiveness of the treatment, need to be distinguished from patients who cannot tolerate it at all. An uncontrolled study of these late failures suggests a poor outcome regardless of whether the patient is intubated or continues to receive NPPV.21. NPPV reduced the length of stay in hospital by more than three days, and length of stay in hospital did not ...

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is responsible for about one-third of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and is associated with adverse outcomes. Predictors of short- and long-term outcomes in unselected ICU-patients with ARF are ill-defined. The purpose of this analysis was to determine predictors of in-hospital and one-year mortality and assess the effects of oral beta-blockers in unselected ICU patients with ARF included in the BASEL-II-ICU study. The BASEL II-ICU study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial of 314 (mean age 70 (62 to 79) years) ICU patients with ARF evaluating impact of a B-type natriuretic peptide- (BNP) guided management strategy on short-term outcomes. In-hospital mortality was 16% (51 patients) and one-year mortality 41% (128 patients). Multivariate analysis assessed that oral beta-blockers at admission were associated with a lower risk of both in-hospital (HR 0.33 (0.14 to 0.74) P = 0.007) and one-year mortality (HR 0.29 (0.16 to 0.51) P

Nitric oxide is probably unique in terms of the course of events leading to its designation as a drug. After the identification of endothelium-derived relaxing factor as nitric oxide, there was much excitement about the therapeutic potential of this simple molecule across a whole range of medical specialties. Cost was certainly not an issue. However, after little more than 10 years, much of the therapeutic promise has not (yet) occurred, but cost certainly is now an issue..

Background: Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is frequently used in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and severe respiratory failure. However, there is little information on these patients.. Methods: We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients hospitalized with CAP for 12 yrs. We assessed the characteristics and outcomes of patients on IMV, those who needed non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and no ventilatory support, and determined predictors for the need of ventilation and mortality.. Results: Among 3,719 patients included, 154 (4%) required IMV, 136 (4%) NIV, and 3,429 (92%) were not ventilated. Streptococcus pneumoniae was the main pathogen. Current alcohol consumption, higher levels of C-reactive protein, worse baseline oxygenation, higher Pneumonia Severity Index, and bacteremia at admission independently predicted the need for IMV, while former tobacco consumption and fever at admission were independently associated with no need for IMV. Likewise, higher levels of ...

Our patients, who were managed with v-v ECMO for severe respiratory failure, had ICU mortality and hospital mortality of 19.4% and 22.6%, respectively. Most of them (n=29; 93.6%) had severe ARDS that failed conventional treatment. Our results (7 dead/24 alive) compared favourably with the ECLS (Extracorporeal Life Support) Registry Report,8 in which the hospital mortality was reported to be 44% (2283 dead/2905 alive; P=0.018 by Fishers exact test). Mortality of ARDS, before 1990s, was higher than 50%.9 10 Mechanical ventilator is the cornerstone of treatment for ARDS. Although it can support lung ventilation, inappropriate use can lead to lung damage including excessive transpulmonary pressure (barotrauma), excessive lung volume inside alveoli (volutrauma), and shearing stress during repetitive opening and closing of alveoli (atelectrauma).11 Moreover, the damage caused by mechanical ventilation is not limited to the lungs. Lung trauma can trigger systemic inflammatory response (biotrauma) that ...

N2 - This review discusses the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the treatment of respiratory failure in neonates. After briefly reviewing the early history of neonatal ECMO, the authors describe the respiratory diagnoses most often treated with ECMO and the manner in which affected neonates are deemed to have failed conventional therapies and thus require ECMO. After reviewing the most common indications for ECMO, factors that influence the timing of conversion to extracorporeal life support, as well as criteria that may exclude patients from receiving ECMO therapy, are described. At the conclusion of this article, the authors discuss the long-term outcomes of neonates whose respiratory disease was treated with ECMO and the ...
The mechanism cannot be inferred from this review. Studies have indicated that lung protective ventilation during NIPPV was as important as it was during invasive mechanical ventilation in respiratory failure [3]. However, strategies such as using low tidal volumes are unlikely to work under NIPPV treatment [4] and, compared to HFNC, NIPPV was associated with higher tidal volumes, which was strongly associated with ventilator-induced lung injury.. Thus, we speculated that, in patients with low baseline PaO2/FiO2 (which to some extent indicate more severe lung injury), high tidal volume-related ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI) was more likely to happen under NIPPV therapy. Yet, both NIPPV and HFNC were still suitable for patients with mild lung injury (high PaO2/FiO2 level). This finding suggests an interactive role of PaO2/FiO2 with NIPPV and the importance of proper patient selection before NIPPV treatment. Further studies are needed to explore which acute respiratory failure patients are ...
When low-TV ventilation was compared to higher TV, the former resulted in lower mortality and better secondary outcomes. The strategy used in this study included setting TV to 6 ml/kg PBW, limiting Pplat to less than 30 cmH2O and using a nomogram to set PEEP and FiO2. This is currently considered the standard ventilatory management for ARDS. Although Pplat limitation to less than 30 cmH2O and TV limitation to 6 ml/kg IBW is recommended, there is no evidence that this constitutes a safety limit.. Radiological evidence suggests overdistension and inflammatory activation at Pplat values between 25 and 30. Of note, if the plateau pressure is less than 30 cmH2O while receiving a high TV above 6 ml/kg IBW, the TV should still be reduced to approximately 6 ml/kg, as evidence suggests that the mortality benefit associated with low tidal volumes is independent of the compliance and Pplat.. The use of higher levels of PEEP (with or without recruitment maneuvers) to enhance alveolar opening and minimize ...

During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market. ...

He became ill with a clinical viral upper respiratory tract infection, which evolved into bilateral pneumonia. He was transferred from the Emergency Department to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he was intubated and mechanically ventilated. At three weeks he was not making significant progress and was transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the British Columbias Childrens Hospital. After two additional weeks of ventilation and intensive physiotherapy, his secretions settled, his atelectasis resolved, and he was successfully extubated to noninvasive ventilation (NIPPV). Several days later the PICU physiotherapists reported that he was losing strength in his right arm. A Computed Tomography (CT) scan revealed hydrocephalus, and on reviewing his chest X-rays, including xrays from the referring hospital, several showed that that his shunt had become disconnected high in his neck. The shunt was revised, but polysomnography continued to show hypopnea and central apnea. He was ...
In the acute setting non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is aimed at avoiding intubation and intubation-related complications. In some conditions such as acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease the avoidance of intubation gained by NPPV has been shown to substantially improve intensive care unit (ICU) survival. However, NPPV is typically performed in conscious patients and might eventually fail as a reason of intolerance or inefficiency. In this scenario intubation occurs possibly too late, which negatively impacts on prognosis. Therefore, the issue of NPPV failure is acknowledged to be of major importance. In general, two global reasons can be responsible for NPPV failure, firstly, predefined conditions independent from staff handling, and secondly, common treatment mistakes. Predefined conditions are unchangeable and primarily refer to specific underlying conditions (e.g. hypoxemic versus hypercapnic respiratory failure), disease severity, and complications ...
Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are lifesaving interventions that are commonly performed in the intensive care unit (ICU). The trauma of endotracheal intubation itself, the prolongued pressure exerted by the endotracheal tube on the larynx, and miscellaneous factors such as fluid overload can result in laryngeal edema (LE). Extubation of a patient with undiagnosed LE can results in respiratory failure secondary to an upper airway obstruction and may require reintubation. Respiratory failure requiring reintubation is associated with morbidity and mortality. The cuff leak test (CLT) is the only method intensivists use to predict the presence of LE. Despite the CLTs first description in 1988, the correct way to interpret the results (either qualitatively or quantitatively) is unknown, and its diagnostic accuracy has been called into question. In fact, the CLT could be detrimental to patients if it has a high false positive rate (i.e. no air leak is detected indicating LE when ...

Post-Polio Health International, of which International Ventilator Users Network is an affiliate, announced that it has awarded a $25,000 research grant to a team from Johns Hopkins University. The researchers propose to determine whether early use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) prolongs survival in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and to relate their findings to other neuromuscular diseases including polio and its late effects.. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrigs disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord resulting in muscle weakness, atrophy and, eventually, death. The respiratory muscles are invariably affected, and respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in ALS patients.. NIPPV is becoming an increasingly standard treatment for patients with chronic respiratory failure, and observational studies suggest that NIPPV prolongs survival, but it is not known whether it modifies disease ...
