Re-intubation increases the risk of nosocomial pneumonia in patients needing mechanical ventilation.

Antoni Torres, +7 more
- 01 Jul 1995 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that re-intubation is a risk factor for ventilator-associated pneumonia and might be avoided in a substantial number of cases and semirecumbency during the period between extubation and re-intsubation may play a role in nosocomial pneumonia development in patients who need re- Intubation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological changes in respiratory function associated with ageing.

R Rodriguez-Roisin, +5 more
- 01 Dec 1999 - 
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure in the treatment of sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome.

Eugeni Ballester, +7 more
- 01 Feb 1999 - 
TL;DR: The relief of sleepiness and other SAHS-related clinical symptoms and improvement in perceived health status was much greater in Group 2 receiving CT + CPAP compared with Group 1, only receiving CT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semirecumbent position protects from pulmonary aspiration but not completely from gastroesophageal reflux in mechanically ventilated patients.

Mauricio Orozco-Levi, +6 more
- 01 Oct 1995 - 
TL;DR: The results strongly support that GER in mechanically ventilated patients with a nasogastric tube is a feature occurring irrespective of body position, and that semirecumbent position does not protect completely from GER and subsequently from oropharyngeal colonization from gastric origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly: A multivariate analysis of risk and prognostic factors.

Raúl Riquelme, +8 more
- 01 Nov 1996 - 
TL;DR: The multivariate analysis showed that patients had a worse prognosis if they were previously bedridden, had prior swallowing disorders, body temperature on admission was less than 37 degrees C, respiratory frequency was greater than 30/min or had three or more affected lobes on chest radiograph.
