Filter by:Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) describes a group of disorders in which partial or complete cessation of breathing occurs many times throughout the night, resulting in daytime sleepiness or fatigue that interferes with a person's ability to function and reduces quality of life. Transplantation has become an important treatment modality for end-stage organ failure. Transplant recipients are now living longer and, hence, develop chronic adverse medical conditions. Furthermore, transplantation is associated with weight gain. Despite the high prevalence of poor sleep and cardiovascular conditions among transplant patients, SDB is not well studied in these patients.
Inhalation pneumonia (PI) is common in clinical practice but is rarely studied. For example, there are no data on the incidence of pneumonia after inhalation and risk factors or protective factors to develop one since it is known that anyone who inhaled does not necessarily develop an IP. There is no data on the benefit of treating inhalation by antibiotic therapy pre-emptively although this practice is common. In this context, this observational study wishes to take stock of the situation on the subject in order to determine what actions to implement to prevent IP.
The impact of the reduction of daily physical activity (DPA) in patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a highly studied area, due to its impact on the quality of life and the clinical evolution of the disease . This fact has multifactorial components: its function is naturally diminished with time, and its effects on the loss of physical condition (decondition). However, dynamic hyperinflation and respiratory muscular dysfunction, especially in patients with more symptomatology, have been identified as those that have the most relevant factors that impact on daily physical activity Due to the detrimental effects of the pulmonary hyperinflation, the diaphragm is flatter and shorter, being in a position of mechanical disadvantage. This contributes to a reduced effort capacity and increase in the dyspnea of patients during daily activities. Resistance training improves their exercise capacity and reduces dyspnea, however it does not improve inspiratory muscle strength. It is for this reason, that specific training of the inspiratory muscles, offers special interest in patients with decreased inspiratory muscle strength and pulmonary hyperinflation.
Voice disorders are the most common communication disorder across the lifespan and vocal fold nodules are the most frequent pathology affecting voice in children. The goal of the present study is to determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a short-course of inhaled corticosteroids in addition to standard voice therapy for treating vocal fold nodules.
This study is designed to evaluate the occurrence of gastric insufflation and the critical volume of the stomach after three different modes of positive pressure ventilation during induction (Manual-controlled, volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation)
In patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, coronary artery disease, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), atrial fibrillation (AF) perioperative atrial fibrillation and complications will be assessed. The primary objective is to determine, whether SDB patients have a higher rate of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) within 30 days after surgery compared to those without SDB.
It is the aim of this project to develop and validate a German language screening questionnaire for symptoms of respiratory muscle weakness and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with neuromuscular disorders.
This research aims to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on apnea hypopnea index, sleepiness, sleep quality, cognitive function, motor task, executive function, quality of life, chemoreflex sensitivity and vagal modulation of heart rate in patients with heart failure and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial. After a 2-week run-in period, eligible patients will be, based on the randomization codes kept in sealed envelopes, randomly assigned to receive usual care (mucolytics and/or chest physiotherapy) plus oxygen inahaltion (1 hr daily for 12 consecutive months) or hydrogen inhalation (1 hr daily for 12 consecutive months) provided by the sponsor. At 3 months after the end-of-treatment, a follow-up visit will be scheduled for all patients.
The aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of respiratory aspiration in patients with COPD, in a tertiary hospital of Buenos Aires.
