Pulmonary edema and upper airway obstruction.
Recently, DE Sofer et al(Chest 1984; 86:401-03)suggested that the pulmonary edema ofpatients with upper airway obstruction (UAO) was roentgenologically invisible because of the increase in lung volume befure the reliefofthe obstruction. In Dr. Sofer’s article, as well as in others,’4 objective dates ofincrease in lung volumes are not reported. Research in patients with chronic UAO showed differ...
متن کاملDietary intake of antioxidant (pro)-vitamins, respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function: the MORGEN study.
BACKGROUND A study was undertaken to investigate the relationships between the intake of the antioxidant (pro)-vitamins C, E and beta-carotene and the presence of respiratory symptoms and lung function. METHODS Complete data were collected in a cross sectional study in a random sample of the Dutch population on 6555 adults during 1994 and 1995. Antioxidant intake was assessed by a semi-quanti...

متن کاملPeripheral airway obstruction in primary pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND As there is controversy about changes in lung function in primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), lung mechanics were assessed with a focus on expiratory airflow in relation to pulmonary haemodynamics. METHODS A cross sectional study was performed in 64 controls and 171 patients with PPH (117 women) of mean (SD) age 45 (13) years, pulmonary artery pressure (PAPmean) 57 (15) mm Hg, an...
متن کاملCorticosteroids to prevent postextubation upper airway obstruction: the evidence mounts
Intubation of the airway can lead to laryngotracheal injury, resulting in extubation failure from upper airway obstruction (UAO). A number of factors can help to identify patients who are at greatest risk for postextubation UAO. Three randomized controlled trials demonstrate that prophylactic corticosteroids decrease the risk for postextubation UAO and probably the need for re-intubation.
