Measurement of parasternal intercostal electromyogram during an infective exacerbation in patients with cystic fibrosis.
The parasternal intercostal muscle electromyogram (sEMGpara) is a measure of neural respiratory drive and reflects lung disease severity in stable cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of the study was to measure sEMGpara in acute infective exacerbations of CF and compare changes in sEMGpara with those in conventional lung function measures. 12 patients with CF admitted to hospital with an acute chest ...
متن کاملPositive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) versus Conventional Chest Physiotherapy in Pediatric Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Cystic Fibrosis
Background Pulmonary involvement is the main cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Airway clearance techniques are non-pharmacological complement options for CF patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcome of airway cleaning treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis in a children's hospital. Materials and Methods This clinical trial study conducted on 40 CF pati...
متن کاملNeural respiratory drive, pulmonary mechanics and breathlessness in patients with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Neural respiratory drive (NRD) measured from the diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi) reflects the load/capacity balance of the respiratory muscle pump and is a marker of lung disease severity. EMGdi measurement is invasive, but recording the EMG from the parasternal intercostal muscles using surface electrodes (sEMGpara) could provide a non-invasive method of assessing NRD and disease s...
متن کاملInvestigation of Growth of Microorganisms within the Spacers of Children with Cystic Fibrosis
Background and aim: Cystic fibrosis is a monogenic disorder in several systems. Since spacers used by these patients may be used several times a day, many of them do not know how to wash and use them, so these devices are good places for bacteria to grow. Therefore, this study was performed to identify and determine the relationship between the growth of microorganisms inside spacers and the ef...
متن کاملEffect of chest wall vibration on the canine diaphragm during breathing.
High-frequency mechanical vibration of the ribcage reduces dyspnoea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the suggestion has been made that this effect might be related to a decrease in central respiratory drive resulting from an increase in afferent inputs from intercostal muscles. In the present studies, the effects of ribcage vibration on central respiratory drive have ...
