AARC (American Association for Respiratory Care) clinical practice guideline. Assessing response to bronchodilator therapy at point of care.
Assessing response in adults and older children* to aerosolized bronchodilator therapy at the point of care. Although subjective responses and changes in mucociliary activity are important bronchodilator therapy effects, this guideline emphasizes the airway smooth muscle response that is primarily quantified through measurement of pulmonary function. It does not address initial diagnostic or on...
متن کاملFactors affecting bronchodilator delivery in mechanically ventilated adults.
BACKGROUND Bronchodilators are increasingly being used in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. There are multiple factors that affect bronchodilator delivery during mechanical ventilation. These factors can be classified into three categories: ventilator-related factors, circuit-related factors and device-related factors. AIMS The purpose of this paper is to review in depth each of the...
متن کاملAerosol bronchodilator therapy during noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation: a peek through the looking glass.
Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are a common cause of acute respiratory failure,1 leading to over 700,000 hospitalizations annually in the United States.2 Approximately 50% of patients suffering hypercapnic respiratory failure from exacerbations of COPD require some form of ventilatory support.3 The ventilatory strategy employed in such patients has evolved during ...
متن کاملClearing the mist from our eyes: bronchodilators, mechanical ventilation, new devices, locations, and what you should know about bias flow.
Patients with obstructive lung disease often present with life-threatening respiratory failure, confounded by severe air-flow limitation, dynamic hyperinflation, intrinsic PEEP, reduced pulmonary compliance, hypercarbia, and hemodynamic instability. Inhaled bronchodilators play a vital role in the care of such patients and are one of the most widely prescribed medications in the critical care s...
