Inhaled nitric oxide in acute respiratory failure in adults.
We have assessed the acute effects of inhaled nitric oxide 8, 32 and 128 volumes per million (vpm) on pulmonary haemodynamics and arterial oxygenation in patients with severe acute respiratory failure. Fourteen patients requiring artificial ventilation with mean pulmonary artery pressures greater than 30 mm Hg were given inhaled nitric oxide; haemodynamic values and blood-gas tensions were meas...
متن کاملTracheostomy practice in adults with acute respiratory failure.
OBJECTIVE Tracheostomy remains one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in adults with acute respiratory failure and identifies a patient cohort which is among the most resource-intensive to provide care. The objective of this concise definitive review is the synthesis of current knowledge regarding tracheostomy practice in this context. DATA SOURCE Peer-reviewed, English langua...
متن کاملIntraoperative Acute Respiratory Failure in an Immunocompromised Patient with Human Metapneumovirus
BACKGROUND Providing anesthesia to immunocompromised patients introduces unique challenges, including difficulty in detecting respiratory infections. Detailed preoperative evaluation and preparation for perioperative complications is crucial. Human metapneumovirus is a common but lesser known respiratory virus that can lead to pneumonia and respiratory compromise and is challenging to detect in...
متن کاملHigh flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in immunocompromised patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
Introduction In the early 2000’s, two randomized controlled trials have shown that non-invasive ventilation (NIV) could decrease mortality of immunocompromised patients admitted to ICU for acute respiratory failure (ARF) as compared to standard oxygen therapy (O2) [1,2]. However, the benefits of NIV in immunocompetent patients with ARF failure are debated. High flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy...
متن کاملNosocomial transmission of respiratory syncytial virus in immunocompromised adults.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) isolates obtained from nine infected immunocompromised adult patients hospitalized during two consecutive winters (January through April 1987 and 1988) were collected and analyzed against a panel of monoclonal antibodies by an enzyme immunoassay. The history of the patients' illness, onset of symptoms, and date of initial isolation of virus was correlated with ...
