Early use of non-invasive ventilation for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on general respiratory wards: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.
TLDR
The early use of NIV for mildly and moderately acidotic patients with COPD in the general ward setting leads to more rapid improvement of physiological variables, a reduction in the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (with objective criteria), and a reduced in-hospital mortality.About:

TL;DR: It is recommended that spirometry is required for the clinical diagnosis of COPD to avoid misdiagnosis and to ensure proper evaluation of severity of airflow limitation.

TL;DR: The assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been refined to separate the spirometric assessment from symptom evaluation, and the concept of deescalation of therapy is introduced in the treatment assessment scheme.

Guidelines for Preventing Health-Care-- Associated Pneumonia, 2003 Recommendations of CDC and the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee
TL;DR: The new guidelines are designed to reduce the incidence of pneumonia and other severe, acute lower respiratory tract infections in acute-care hospitals and in other health-care settings (e.g., ambulatory and longterm care institutions) and other facilities where health care is provided.

TL;DR: In selected patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, noninvasive ventilation can reduce the need for endotracheal intubation, the length of the hospital stay, and the in-hospital mortality rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk.
TL;DR: The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk (BSRS) as mentioned in this paper was developed to foster early identification of patients at risk for forming pressure sores by using sensory perception, skin moisture, activity, mobility, friction and shear, and nutritional status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized, prospective trial of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in acute respiratory failure.
TL;DR: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation administered by nasal or oronasal mask avoids the need for endotracheal intubation, rapidly improves vital signs, gas exchange, and sense of dyspnea, and may reduce mortality in selected patients with acute respiratory failure.

TL;DR: In patients with acute ventilatory failure due to COAD who received NIPPV there was a significant rise in pH, a reduction in PaCO2 and breathlessness, and reduced mortality.

TL;DR: The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk was developed to foster early identification of patients at risk for forming pressure sores and has greater sensitivity and specificity than instruments previously reported.
