    British Thoracic Society Guideline for pleural disease - 1 year(s) ago

    The following is a summary of the British Thoracic Society (BTS) Guideline for pleural disease and includes a summary of the guideline recommendations and good practice points (GPPs). The full guideline is published as a separate Thorax Supplement1 and is available from the BTS website.2 Please refer to the full guideline for full information about each section.1 All online supplemental appendices are also available via the BTS website.2 The aim of the guideline was to provide evidence-based guidance on the investigation and management of pleural disease. Pleural disease is common and represents a major and rapidly developing subspecialty that presents to many different hospital services. Since the last BTS Guideline for pleural disease published in 2010,3–9 many high quality and practice changing studies, using patient centred outcomes, have been published. The paradigms for the investigation and management of pleural disease have therefore shifted, so this guideline aimed to capture

    Sleep Assessment in Critically Ill Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure - 1 year(s) ago

    BACKGROUND: Sleep deprivation alters respiratory muscle performance and may precipitate respiratory failure. This study aimed to assess sleep in subjects admitted to ICU for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and its role in the risk of intubation. METHODS: This was a prospective observational single-center cohort study including subjects admitted to ICU for de novo acute hypoxemic respiratory failure defined as breathing frequency ≥ 25 breaths/min or clinical signs of respiratory distress and PaO2/FIO2 < 300 mm Hg while receiving high-flow nasal oxygen. Subjects with altered consciousness, central nervous or psychiatric disorders, continuous sedation or neuroleptic medication, or were uncooperative were excluded. Sleep was assessed by complete polysomnography (PSG) the night following ICU admission. The main outcome was to assess sleep among subjects with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and to compare sleep between subjects who eventually required intubation to those who did not.

    Got Oxygen? Studies on Mesenchymal Cell Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α in Lung Development - 1 year(s) ago

    Humans breathe atmospheric air and rely on the oxygen that is in it to survive. Oxygen is so vital to our survival that even brief interruptions in availability tr igger physiological responses that optimize oxygen delivery to the tissues (1 – 4), yet humans do not breathe air at all stages of life. During development, the airways of the fetus are filled with amniotic fluid. Oxygenating fetal tissues rely on oxygen delivery through the maternal-fetal circulation (5 – 7). Under these conditions, the
