Feb 25th, 2021 - Respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia is associated with high mortality and may overwhelm health care systems, due to the surge of patients requiring advanced respiratory support. Shortage of intensive care unit (ICU) beds required many pa...

Feb 23rd, 2021 - Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) experience excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which can negatively affect daily functioning, cognition, mood, and other aspects of well-being. Although EDS can be reduced with primary OSA treatment...

Feb 22nd, 2021 - To examine the impact of adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on risk for stroke among a nationally representative sample of older adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We performed a retrospective cohort study amon...

Feb 22nd, 2021 - Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive intermittent oxygen desaturation during sleep. Carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) is the second most common cause of death among non-medicinal poisonings, and oxygen therapy is the current ...

Feb 21st, 2021 - Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) experience repetitive partial or complete airway collapse during sleep resulting in nocturnal hypoxia-normoxia cycling, and are at increased cardiovascular risk. The number of apneas and hypopneas indexe...

Dec 10th, 2020 - Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential part of modern intensive care medicine. MV is performed in patients with severe respiratory failure caused by respiratory muscle insufficiency and/or lung parenchymal disease; that is, when other treatme...
