Changes in dynamic lung mechanics after lung volume reduction coil treatment of severe emphysema
(2018)We assessed the relationships between changes in lung compliance, lung volumes and dynamic hyperinflation in patients with emphysema who underwent bronchoscopic treatment with nitinol coils (coil treatment) (n=11) or ... -
Nasal high-flow oxygen versus noninvasive ventilation in acute exacerbation of copd: Protocol for a randomised noninferiority clinical trial
(2020)Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is considered as the first-line treatment for acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) complicated by respiratory acidosis. Recent studies demonstrate a role of nasal high-flow oxygen ... -
Safety and effectiveness of alveolar recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure during general anesthesia for cesarean section: a prospective, randomized trial Alveolar recruitment during caesarean section
(2017)Introduction During cesarean section, the supine position reduces functional residual capacity and worsens lung compliance. We tested the hypothesis that alveolar recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure ... -
Simulation to minimise patient self-inflicted lung injury: are we almost there?
(2022)Computational modelling has been used to enlighten pathophysiological issues in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using a sophisticated, integrated cardiopulmonary model. COVID-19 ARDS is a ... -
Small airways’ function in Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
(2021)Introduction and objectives: Most of the studies of the pathophysiology of Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) focus on the collapsibility and obstruction of the upper airways. The aim of our study was the ...
