Obesity, respiratory function and breathlessness.
Oxygen consumption dedicated to respiratory work (V̇O2RESP) during quiet breathing is small in normal patients. In the morbidly obese, at high minute ventilations, V̇O2RESP is greater than in normal patients, but V̇O2RESP during quiet breathing in these patients is not known. We postulated that such patients have increased V̇O2RESP at rest which may predispose them to respiratory failure when addit...
متن کاملNeural respiratory drive and breathlessness in COPD.
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that neural respiratory drive, measured using diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi) activity expressed as a percentage of maximum (EMGdi%max), is closely related to breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We also investigated whether neuroventilatory uncoupling contributes significantly to breathlessness intensity over an awareness of...
متن کاملViral pneumonia in severe respiratory failure.
lence, the susceptibility factors of the affected patient groups, the predictive clinical features and the impact of vaccinations and available pharmaceutical and supportive treatments have provided lessons for preparedness for pandemics in the future [7] . Against this backdrop, we are reminded that, at an individual level, the diagnosis of viral pneumonia with particular reference to the demo...
متن کاملhigh frequency oscillatory ventilation in severe respiratory failure
despite improvement of mechanical ventilation devices for infants, lung injury still causes morbidity and mortality in many cases. to determine the effect of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (hfov) in infants with severe respiratory failure, 10 neonates were evaluated prospectively. mean gestational age of these patients was 35 weeks and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (a-ado2) and the ...
