Treatment of chronic respiratory failure in kyphoscoliosis: oxygen or ventilation?
Patients with kyposcoliosis and chronic respiratory insufficiency are treated either with home oxygen therapy or ventilation. Kyphoscoliotic patients demonstrate impaired ventilatory mechanics, consequently ventilation seems to be the treatment of choice. Yet, no randomised controlled trials (CRT) exist to prove it. Most investigators find it difficult to ethically justify a CRT. Therefore, the...
متن کاملNoninvasive respiratory support for acute respiratory failure-high flow nasal cannula oxygen or non-invasive ventilation?
J Thorac Dis 2015;7(7):1092-1097 www.jthoracdis.com For patients with acute respiratory failure there may be advantages to the avoidance of invasive mechanical ventilation, i.e., ventilation via endotracheal intubation. Indeed, soon after the introduction of invasive mechanical ventilation many complications of positive pressure ventilation were identified (1,2). Some are directly related to th...
متن کاملKyphoscoliosis and respiratory failure. A patient treated with assisted ventilation for 27 years.
A 62-year-old woman had had kyphoscoliosis since age 12 years. Respiratory failure developed at age 35 years following a respiratory infection. A tracheostomy was done and she required assisted ventilation using a respiratory (Bird). Many attempts at weaning her from the ventilator were unsuccessful. She has remained dependent on assisted ventilation for more than 27 years but has had a relativ...
متن کاملTITLE: Randomized controlled trial of exercise training in chronic respiratory failure due to kyphoscoliosis
Background: Research has provided evidence for the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of exercise training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, little is known about the impact of exercise training in patients with chronic respiratory failure due to kyphoscoliosis. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of an exercise training program on exercis...
متن کامل[Non-invasive ventilation in treatment of adults with chronic respiratory failure].
Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) is a modern method of chronic respiratory failure (CRF) treatment. With the development of medicine and society known as "western", the number of elderly people, in whom there is overlapping of chronic diseases such as COPD, is growing. In adult population NIV is used in the treatment of neuromuscular diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)...
