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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central Sleep Apnea: Pathophysiology and Treatment
TL;DR: The underlying physiology and modulating components influencing ventilatory control in CSA are summarized, the etiology of each of the various forms of CSA is described, and the key factors that may exacerbate apnea severity are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The obesity hypoventilation syndrome
TL;DR: The obesity hypoventilation syndrome, which is defined as a combination of obesity and chronic hyperventilation, results in pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale, and probable early mortality as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary complications of chronic neuromuscular diseases and their management.
TL;DR: For patients considered unsuitable for noninvasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation should be considered, but only after a frank but compassionate discussion between the patient, family, physician, and other caregivers.

Nocturnal positive-pressure ventilation via nasal mask in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
David A. Strumpf,Richard P. Millman,Carol C. Carlisle,Lynn M. Grattan,Susan M. Ryan,Allan D. Erickson,Nicholas S. Hill +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that nocturnal nasal ventilation is not well tolerated by and brings about minimal improvements in stable outpatients with severe COPD.

Reversal of obstructive sleep apnoea by continuous positive airway pressure applied through the nares
TL;DR: Five patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea were treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) applied via a comfortable nose mask through the nares, which provides a pneumatic splint for the nasopharyngeal airway and is a safe, simple treatment for the obstructiveSleep apNoea syndrome.

The respiratory muscles.
Charis Roussos,Peter T. Macklem +1 more
TL;DR: A large number of patients with asthma have trouble controlling their coughing and wheezing, and the use of steroids to treat these problems is a natural application of steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force reserve of the diaphragm in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
F. Bellemare,A. Grassino +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that COPD patients can increase their mean Pdi 3-fold before reaching a fatiguing pattern of breathing compared with 8-fold in normal subjects and the remaining force reserve of the diaphragm can be exhausted by even minor modifications in the breathing pattern.
Journal Article
Treatment of Respiratory Failure during Sleep in Patients with Neuromuscular Disease
TL;DR: It is concluded that nasally applied positive pressure ventilation is a highly effective method of providing nocturnal assisted ventilation because it stabilizes the oropharyngeal airway.
