Dyspnea, in particular air hunger, is a potentially psychologically traumatizing sensation6 that is not necessarily relieved by mechanical ventilation, sedation, and other routine therapies for respiratory failure, which can also serve to worsen these symptoms. We fear that administration of neuromuscular...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by the sudden onset of hypoxemia and bilateral pulmonary edema without cardiac failure.
We consecutively included HFNO-treated patients older than 18 years with confirmed COVID-19-related ARF, a Pa o2 /F io2 of less than 300?mm Hg, bilateral infiltrates on imaging, and worsening respiratory symptoms for less than 1 week. None. We evaluated the predictive validity of mortality ...
Heated and humidified high-flow oxygen therapy reduces discomfort during hypoxemic respiratory failure Respir Care, 57 (10) (2012), pp. 1571-1577, 10.4187/respcare.01681 Google Scholar [41] O. Roca, J. Riera, F. Torres, J.R. Masclans High-flow oxygen therapy in acute respiratory failure ...
Improved symptoms and physical examination Blood gas parameters and FiO2 requirement are at baseline. No signs of respiratory failure SABA is required less than every 4 hours. No significant active comorbidity Consider using objective measures to guide disposition decisions, e.g.: Risk stratificat...
ARDS was identified based on the Berlin criteria consensus definition[20]: (1) timing: onset within 1 week of a known clinical insult or new or worsening respiratory symptoms; (2) chest imaging: bilateral opacities, not fully explained by effusions, lobar/lung collapse or nodules; (3) ...
Most episodes of acute respiratory infections and acute lower-respiratory infections last less than 2 weeks [134]. In a prospective home surveillance study done in Peru of respiratory signs and symptoms by frequent (twice weekly) home visits by trained field-workers, it was shown that cough and...
Evaluation of the RESP Score and Demographic Information in order to Predict Survival of ECMO Patients at a Community Hospital Rationale: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been shown to increase survival rates for patients with acute respiratory failure. Yet, this extr... J Kocsis 被引...
Acute dyspnea represents one of the most frequent symptoms leading to emergency room evaluation. Its significant prognostic value warrants a careful evaluation. The differential diagnosis of dyspnea is complex due to the lack of specificity and the loose association between its intensity and the severity...
COVID-19 has so far proven to be a highly contagious and lethal infection that can lead to rapidly worsening respiratory failure and death in the general population. Our case reflects that pregnant women are certainly as susceptible, if not more, and, hence, these patients should be closely ...
