Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and safety of non-invasive ventilation in the treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema – a systematic review and meta-analysis
João Carlos Winck,Luís Filipe Azevedo,Altamiro Costa-Pereira,Massimo Antonelli,Jeremy C Wyatt +4 more
TL;DR: Robust evidence now supports the use of CPAP and NPPV in ACPE as both techniques decrease NETI and mortality compared to SMT and none shows increased AMI risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extubation of patients with neuromuscular weakness: a new management paradigm.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report successful extubation of patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD) and weakness who could not pass the spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) and ventilator weaning parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation on respiratory parameters for patients with chronic airway secretion encumbrance
João Carlos Winck,Miguel R. Gonçalves,Cristina Lourenço,Paulo Viana,João Almeida,John R. Bach +5 more
TL;DR: The results confirm good tolerance and physiologic improvement in patients with restrictive disease and in Patients with obstructive disease, suggesting that MI-E may be a potential complement to noninvasive ventilation for a wide variety of patient groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
COVID-19 pandemic and non invasive respiratory management: Every Goliath needs a David. An evidence based evaluation of problems.
TL;DR: There is a role for non-invasive respiratory therapies in the context of COVID-19 ARF, but more research is still needed to define the balance of benefits and risks to patients and HCW.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tele-monitoring of ventilator-dependent patients: a European Respiratory Society Statement
Nicolino Ambrosino,Michele Vitacca,Michael Dreher,Valentina Isetta,Josep M. Montserrat,Thomy Tonia,Giuseppe Turchetti,João Carlos Winck,Felip Burgos,Michael Kampelmacher,Guido Vagheggini +10 more
TL;DR: Much more research is needed before considering tele-monitoring a real improvement in the management of ventilator dependent patients, and the economic advantages of this new approach must be compared to a “gold standard” of home care that is very variable among different European countries and within each European country.
