Treatment
- Patient training, follow-up and reduction of side effects, largely delivered by trained nurses, contribute to achieve the main goal of the treatment-improved health-related quality of life. 2017 The Authors.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Monitoring the changes of serum BMP-7 and TGF-β1 is very important for treatment and prognosis assessment of the NRDS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Various treatments for PIE have been proposed: high-frequency ventilation, postural therapy, selective bronchial intubation or surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Asthma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite advances in outpatient treatment. Sometimes, children fail to respond to standard treatment and can potentially require mechanical ventilation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The use of advanced monitoring and the application of simple maneuvers at the bedside may assist clinicians to better individualize treatment and improve clinical outcomes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- PMX-DHP may improve the prognosis of severe respiratory failure in patients with AE-IPF.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Monitoring the changes of serum BMP-7 and TGF-β1 is very important for treatment and prognosis assessment of the NRDS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Many experts recommend a "trial of therapy" to clarify both prognosis and quality of life. The key ethical question, then, is not whether to postpone a decision to forego mechanical ventilation. Instead, the key question is how long to wait.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We sought to describe clinical and genetic profiles and to determine prognosis of DMD and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients on home MV (HMV), hospitalized for AHF.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Outlook (Prognosis) The outlook will depend on the reason the procedure needed to be done. References Driver BE, Reardon RF. Tracheal intubation. In: Roberts JR, Custalow CB, Thomsen TW, eds.[mountsinai.org]
Etiology
- In children with rapidly progressive pneumonia and hypoxia refractory to mechanical ventilation, venovenous (VV) ECMO has been successfully used with survival ranging from 40-60% depending on the etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The following variables were analyzed: age, gender, etiology, neurological level, ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) grade, associated injuries, injury severity score (ISS), ASIA motor score (AMS) at admission and mortality.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus was the main etiology (93.8%) and 31.3% had comorbidities. Measured respiratory pressures were PIP 29 (26-31), PPL 24 (20-26), tPEEP 9 [8-11] cmH2O.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- To determine the etiology, the lower airway tract needs to be sampled. This can be done by endotracheal aspiration, bronchoalveolar lavage or by using a protected specimen brush (during bronchoscopy).[clinicaladvisor.com]
- If there are no physical findings suggesting tension pneumothorax, and if ventilation-related causes of hypotension are a possible etiology, pending a portable chest x-ray, the patient may be disconnected from the ventilator and gently bagged manually[msdmanuals.com]
Epidemiology
- The epidemiologic characteristics and outcomes of severe trauma patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) remain unclear. This retrospective study aims to investigate the outcomes of PMV in this specific group.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
- Currently, there are no agents approved by the Food and Drug Administration to target ACE inhibitor angioedema and to prevent intubation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Moreover, it discusses practical approaches for detecting, correcting, and preventing asynchronies. Current evidence suggests that the best approach to managing asynchronies is by adjusting ventilator settings.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In those patients tracheobronchial toilette is crucial in preventing or treating airways obstructed by secretions and deterioration of oxygenation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Conservative approach should remain the first choice treatment of unilateral PIE in order to limit surgical procedures, while effort should be made to prevent this iatrogenic complication.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Afterwards, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or radiation therapy can be possible treatment modalities to prevent recurrence of HOs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
