Non-invasive ventilation in acute respiratory failure of oncology-hematology patients: What are its current benefits and limitations?
Rev Mal Respir. 2024 Apr 11:S0761-8425(24)00171-2. doi: 10.1016/j.rmr.2024.03.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute respiratory failure (ARF) is a leading cause, along with sepsis, of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) of patients with active cancer. Presenting variable clinical severity, ARF in onco-hematological patients has differing etiologies, primarily represented by possibly opportunistic acute infectious pneumonia (de novo hypoxemic ARF), and decompensation in chronic cardiac or respiratory diseases (e.g., acute pulmonary edema or exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). In these patients, oro...

The 2021 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (GOLD) guidelines and the outpatient management: Examining physician adherence and its effects on patient outcome
CONCLUSION: We found no significant difference in the patient outcomes, such as number of exacerbations of COPD and mortality, when comparing the 2021 GOLD guideline adherent versus GOLD guideline non-adherent management of COPD.PMID:38605771 | PMC:PMC11006038 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1397_23 (Source: Primary Care)

Independent effect of the triglyceride-glucose index on all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma: A retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, our results extend the utility of the TyG index to critically ill patients with COPD and asthma. Our study shows that the TyG index is a potential predictor of all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with COPD and asthma. In addition, in patients with a TyG index exceeding 4.8, there was a heightened risk of mortality. Measuring the TyG index may help with risk stratification and prognosis prediction in critically ill patients with COPD and asthma. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.PMID:38607315 | DOI:10.1177/14799731241245424 (Source: Chronic Respiratory Disease)
