Lit review finds high-flow nasal cannula should be preferred to conventional O2 therapy in COPD exacerbation without respiratory acidosis and at NIV breaks and weaning, and as a 2L option in respirato...
Algorithm characterizes patients with acute respiratory failure into 7 phenotypes by type of respiratory support. Non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation was more common versus high-flow nasal o2 a...
Study to determine the feasibility of a Phase 3 RCT of home HFT to improve clinical, patient-reported & physiological outcomes following severe AECOPD. Exploratory results on neural respiratory drive ...
Single-centre prospective study (N=30) finds AHI >5 (vs <5) associated with longer hospital stay, mechanical ventilation & higher percentage of intubation in patients with acute hypercapnic respirator...
Peripheral O2 saturation to predict COPD exacerbation. Proof of concept study (N=11) analysed stable vs 1 night prior to AECOPD pulse oximetry data. SpO2 entropy increase and Sp02 fluctuation during A...
Review of 13 studies shows COPD telemonitoring is effective versus usual care. Telemonitoring may reduce hospitalizations, clinical visits & exacerbations & improve quality of life. Including an educa...
Predicting COPD exacerbation readmission. New study (N=82) shows 56% of patients were readmitted within 90 days. Several factors were associated with readmission risk; PIFR at discharge was the best p...
Meta-analysis of 17 studies finds that in patients with COPD acute exacerbation (AECOPD) history, telemonitoring reduces emergency room visits, AECOPD-related readmissions, AECOPD-related hospital day...
