Hypoxic challenge flight assessments in patients with severe chest wall deformity or neuromuscular disease at risk for nocturnal hypoventilation.
BACKGROUND The British Thoracic Society (BTS) recommendations for patients with respiratory disease planning air travel suggest that an oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) >95% precludes the need for any further assessment of the need for supplemental oxygen during flight. A hypoxic challenge test (HCT) is recommended for patients with a resting SaO(2) between 92% and 95% with an additional risk factor,...
متن کاملMECHANICAL VENTILATION Randomised controlled trial of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for nocturnal hypoventilation in neuromuscular and chest wall disease patients with daytime normocapnia
Background: Long term non-invasive ventilation (NIV) reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with neuromuscular and chest wall disease with hypercapnic ventilatory failure, but preventive use has not produced benefit in normocapnic patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Individuals with nocturnal hypercapnia but daytime normocapnia were randomised to a control group or nocturnal NIV to ...

متن کاملAsymptomatic congenital heart disease in children with skeletal chest deformity
Introduction: With respect to high association of skeletal chest deformity with cardiac abnormalities, these patients should be evaluated for evidence of cardiac involvement. So, we used echocardiography to investigate this association. Methods: This case-control study was done on 144 patients with skeletal chest deformity referred to OPD clinic. 240 persons were selected as control group, with...
