Filter by:Endotracheal intubation plays an important role in general anesthesia. Complications can be prevented by using alternative airway devices in predetermined difficult intubation cases. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the results of endotracheal intubation with video fiberscope and DCI video laryngoscope devices of two different experienced physicians (E and H).
Asthma, abbreviation for bronchial asthma, is one of the common chronic airways disease that threatens human health. Typical symptoms of asthma are recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, usually occurring at night or early morning. However, there are still some patients with only persistent clinical manifestations of chest tightness. Concerned about this group of patients, investigators presented a subgroup of bronchial asthma, namely, chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA). This asthma subgroup usually lacks asthma-specific clinical features such as wheezing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and therefore often misdiagnosed for a long time. However, there is lack of definite treatment strategy for CTVA. In order to further understand the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with CTVA, investigators conducted a national multicenter randomized control trial(RCT) study that compares inhaled corticosteroid(ICS)/ long-acting beta2-agonist(LABA) + Montelukast with ICS/LABA. Finally, investigators plan to clarify whether ICS/LABA plus Montelukast is more appropriate treatment than only ICS/LABA in CTVA patients.

This asthma subgroup usually lacks asthma-specific clinical features such as wheezing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and therefore often misdiagnosed for a long time. In order to further understand the clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, and prognosis of patients with CTVA, we conducted a national multicenter observation study to further understand CTVA. Finally, we plan to clarify whether CTVA is a relatively independent asthma phenotype. Meanwhile, reducing misdiagnosis and perform an appropriate treatment of CTVA.
Evaluate the prevalence of bronchial responsiveness (BHR) among patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Investigate correlation between bronchial reactivity and the severity of GERD, and similarly investigate the correlation between exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and the severity of GERD. Compare the effects of esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily and Nissen fundoplication on bronchial reactivity, exhaled NO, pulmonary function and quality of life.
