- 1From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: The apnea test is used to determine the absence of respiratory drive when determining brain death. Current guidelines for performing the apnea test do not specify the size of insufflation catheter (IC) to...
- 2From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: Chronic infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with increased morbidity. Chronic infection can cause limb and respiratory muscle compromise. Respiratory...
- 3From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: Meditative movement, such as tai chi, yoga, and qi gong, may benefit people with cystic fibrosis (CF), as a form of gentle exercise incorporating meditation, breathing, and relaxation. Respiratory function...
- 4From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: The pediatric literature addressing extubation readiness parameters and strategies to wean from mechanical ventilation is limited. METHODS: We designed a survey to assess the use of extubation readiness...
- 5From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: In ICUs, many patients are unable to participate in decision-making regarding life-sustaining treatments. This study evaluated the opinions of family members about family and physician participation in...
- 6From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: Tobramycin powder for inhalation (TIP) is a drug-device combination designed to reduce treatment time and improve ease of use compared with tobramycin inhalation solution (TIS) in cystic fibrosis (CF)...
- 7From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)The diffuse parenchymal lung diseases form a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by varying degrees of inflammation and fibrosis involving the space between epithelial and endothelial basement membranes....
- 8From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)Patients receiving nebulized respiratory treatments and airway clearance therapies often combine the treatments to decrease treatment time, despite a lack of data supporting this practice. Moreover, manufacturers...
- 9From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)Nasal CPAP is widely used in neonatal ICUs. Aerosolized medications such as inhaled steroids and [beta] agonists are commonly administered in-line through nasal CPAP, especially to infants with bronchopulmonary...
- 10From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)Faith, defined as a firm belief in something for which there is no proof, is in contrast to observation and inference, in which we learn and make a conclusion about what the evidence tells us. If we fail to continue to...
- 11From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: The patterns and kinetics of changes in [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] in the 6- min walk test (6MWT) and cycling test have not been addressed in patients with COPD. METHODS: We studied...
- 12From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: The administration of a high [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] to COPD patients breathing spontaneously may result in hypercapnia, due to reversal of preexisting regional hypoxic pulmonary...
- 13From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)To the Editor: We read with keen interest the article in the November 2013 issue by Motahar Vahedi and colleagues. (1) They described furosemide as an adjunctive therapy for exacerbation of COPD. However, there are a...
- 14From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)Aerosols have proven to be an effective form of drug delivery. Nevertheless, the development of devices as well as medical agents for aerosolization to treat mechanically ventilated newborns still presents a substantial...
- 15From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)We evaluated the diagnostic performance and safety of combined blind nasotracheal suctioning and non-bronchoscopic mini-bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) to obtain respiratory secretion specimens from spontaneously...
- 16From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension is frequently associated with parenchymal lung disease. We evaluated the association between spirometry values and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) in young subjects without...
- 17From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion (TBPE) has some limitations. We studied the efficacy of interleukin-27 (IL-27) in the diagnosis of TBPE. METHODS: We measured IL-27, adenosine deaminase (ADA),...
- 18From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)BACKGROUND: Research has provided evidence for the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of exercise training in patients with COPD. However, little is known about the impact of exercise training in patients with chronic...
- 19From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)Introduction Patients with progressive neuromuscular diseases, chest wall abnormalities, and diaphragmatic dysfunction are at high risk for the development of respiratory failure, with resulting morbidity and...
- 20From: Respiratory Care. (Vol. 59, Issue 3)We report a case of broncholithiasis secondary to pulmonary actinomycosis. Broncholithiasis has occasionally been reported in association with actinomycosis, but it is unclear if actinomycosis leads to lymph node...
