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...

Prevalence and risk factors of depression in patients with chronic obstructive airway disease: a tertiary care hospital, outpatient setting
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of depression in patients with COPD in a tertiary care outpatient setting was low, at 4%. According to the study's comprehensive assessment, severity of COPD was the only factor associated with depression in patients with COPD.PMID:38606670 | DOI:10.5826/mrm.2024.951 (Source: Respiratory 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: Respiratory Care)

Hospital-acquired pneumonia due to Burkholderia cepacia in a thalassemia pregnancy with postoperative eclampsia: A case report
Respir Med Case Rep. 2024 Apr 4;49:102021. doi: 10.1016/j.rmcr.2024.102021. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThere are limited case reports on individuals infected with Burkholderia cepacia who do not have typical risk factors, particularly pregnant women with beta-thalassemia. A 34-year-old pregnant female with beta-thalassemia trait and hypertension was admitted to the hospital. The patient was diagnosed with eclampsia and underwent a cesarean section. After two days following the surgery, the patient experienced hospitality-acquired pneumonia. B.cepacia was isolated from blood cultures, and antibiotic susceptibility testing ind...

Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation, Intubation, and HFNT
The objective of all the supporting measures for ARF is to gain time for the antimicrobial treatment to cure the pneumonia. There is uncertainty regarding which patients with severe CAP are most likely to benefit from each noninvasive support strategy. HFNT may be the first-line approach in the majority of patients. While NIV may be relatively contraindicated in patients with excessive secretions, facial hair/structure resulting in air leaks or poor compliance, NIV may be preferable in those with increased work of breathing, respiratory muscle fatigue, and congestive heart failure, in which the positive pressure of NIV may...

Severity of Airflow Obstruction Based on FEV < sub > 1 < /sub > /FVC vs FEV < sub > 1 < /sub > % of Predicted in the General US Population
CONCLUSIONS: FEV1/FVC and FEV1%pred as measures of severity of airflow limitation show similar prediction of breathlessness and mortality in the adult US population across ethnicity groups. However, stage 1 differed more clearly from non-obstructive based on FEV1/FVC than FEV1%pred.
