The primary outcome was dyspnea numeric rating scale (NRS) "now" where 0=none and 10=worst. Results: 17 patients (mean age 51, 58% female) completed 55 interventions in a random order. The absolute change of dyspnea NRS between 0 and 10 minutes was -1.8 (SD 1.7) for HFOx, -1.8 (...
The training terminated when the Borg dyspnea or fatigue scores34 reached 7 or the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) scale35 scores reached 14. 2.5. Outcome measures The primary outcome was 6-minute walk distance(6MWD).The secondary outcomes included indicators of pulmonary function test(PFT),...
Methods In this preliminary multicenter prospective observational study, we included patients who had metastatic or locally advanced cancer, were receiving specialized palliative care services, and had a dyspnea intensity of ≥3 on a 0–10 Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (worst during the last 24 h)...

Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the mMRC dyspnea scale were seen in 57.1%, 30.4%, 10.7%, and 1.8% of patients respectively. Common CT findings observed were GGOs (94.6%), reticulations/septal thickening (96.4%), parenchymal/atelectatic bands (92.8%), and consolidation (14.3%). The mean ...
(mMRC) 6-point scale.Liver disease severity was assessed according to the Model for end-stage liver disease(MELD).Routine lung function tests,maximum static expiratory(Pemax) and inspiratory(Pimax) mouth pressures were measured.Respiratory muscle strength(RMS) was calculated from Pimax and Pemax ...
One month after discharge, fourty-seven patients (77 %) reported dyspnea, with mean mMRC dyspneascale 1,43 (1–3). Fifteen patients (24,5%) had a Nijmegen questionnaire ≥23/ 64 with mean score 31± 4,5 which suggestsa positive diagnosis ofHVS. Older patients(age > 65 years)and ...
Each had 4 single-blind tests in a randomized order, during which resistances were increased from 0 to 24 cm H2O/l/s in 1,3 or 6 steps or decreased in 6 steps. Dyspnea scores were recorded on a modified Borg scale (0-10). FEV1 and lung volumes were measured in all subjects ...
