Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) and Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA) Index in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients with Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure: A Pilot Study
Dimoulis, A.; Pastaka, C.; Tsolaki, V.; Tsilioni, I.; Pournaras, S.; Liakos, N.; Georgoulias, P.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2015)The effects of Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV) on Insulin Resistance (IR) in stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients have not been fully explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of NIV ... -
Non-invasive ventilation in chronic hypercapnic COPD patients with exacerbation and a pH of 7.35 or higher
Pastaka, C.; Kostikas, K.; Karetsi, E.; Tsolaki, V.; Antoniadou, I.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2007)Background: Current guidelines suggest the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations in patients presenting with a pH of 7.25-7.35. The aim of this study ... -
Noninvasive Ventilation in Chronic Respiratory Failure: Effects on Quality of Life
Tsolaki, V.; Pastaka, C.; Kostikas, K.; Karetsi, E.; Dimoulis, A.; Zikiri, A.; Koutsokera, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2011)Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been found to be an essential technique to treat chronic respiratory failure (CRF) resulting from restrictive thoracic disorders (RTD). The last decades were characterized by ... -
One-year non-invasive ventilation in chronic hypercapnic COPD: Effect on quality of life
Tsolaki, V.; Pastaka, C.; Karetsi, E.; Zygoulis, P.; Koutsokera, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Kostikas, K. (2008)The data on long-term application of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with chronic respiratory failure due to COPD are contradictory. We evaluated the effect of the addition of NIV to optimal treatment for 1 year ...
