The aim of the study was to investigate lung function and morphology in newborn rabbits with acute respiratory failure induced by airway instillation of albumin and to test whether the therapeutic effect of exogenous modified natural surfactant could be enhanced by addition of dextran. Rabbits
Serial tracheal aspirate samples were obtained for determination of lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratios from 47 term infants in respiratory failure. Phospholipids were extracted with Folch solution (chloroform:methanol, 2:1 by vol) and analyzed by HPLC with use of silica column and a mobile phase of
Serum albumin is a marker of nutritional and frailty status. This study aimed to assess the association between serum albumin at the time of admission and the risk of acute respiratory failure (ARF) in hospitalized patientsThis cohort study, performed at a tertiary referral hospital, included all
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the extent to which single measurements of microvascular lung permeability may be relevant as an additional parameter in a heterogenous clinical patient collective with Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
METHODS
In 36 patients with pneumonia
BACKGROUND
A case-control study was conducted to identify the possible risk factors for acute respiratory failure in patients undergoing bronchoscopy. We also aimed to estimate the financial costs incurred in the care of high-risk patients.
METHODS
All hypoxic respiratory complications that occurred
BACKGROUND
In patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) during exacerbations of COPD, mortality can be high despite noninvasive ventilation (NIV). For some, AHRF is terminal and NIV is inappropriate. However there is no definitive method of identifying patients who are unlikely to
We conducted indicator dilution studies on the lungs of patients in the early phases of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to test the hypothesis that capillary permeability was increased in patients with respiratory failure. Indicator dilution studies were performed using 51Cr-erythrocytes,
To determine whether the outcome of intensive care for patients with AIDS, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), and respiratory failure has changed, we studied patients admitted to the intensive care units an San Francisco General Hospital from 1981 to 1988. We compared the course of patients with
Although endotoxin-induced acute lung injury is associated with inflammation, alveolocapillary injury, surfactant dysfunction, and altered lung mechanics, the precise sequence of these changes is polemic. We have studied the early pathogenesis of acute lung injury in spontaneously breathing
OBJECTIVE
To identify outcome predictors and prognostic factors in long-term survivors (> 30 days post-transplant) of single-lung and double-lung transplants on readmission to the medical ICU (MICU).
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
MICU of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, a lung transplantation
BACKGROUND
The prevalence and clinical implications of vitamin D deficiency have never been studied in patients with underlying neuromuscular diseases complicated with chronic respiratory failure. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, its relationship with
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy with protease inhibitors in 1996 has changed the morbidity and mortality of acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients. Therefore, the aetiologies and prognostic factors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with
Patients with cystic fibrosis awaiting lung transplantation for end-stage respiratory failure have high prevalence of reduced bone mineral density and fragility fracture. Suboptimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels could significantly contribute to the development of cystic fibrosis-related Background: The mortality rate of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients with respiratory failure remains high. This study aimed to identify factors contributing to death in these patients, and develop a mortality prediction model for
