Telemonitoring in chronic ventilatory failure: a new model of survellaince, a pilot study

Stefania Bertini, Monica Picariello, MASSIMO GORINI, Teresa Renda et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The efficiency of tele-monitoring or tele-assistance in patients with severe chronic ventilatory failure in home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is still being investigated. Our aim was to test the feasibility of a model which consisted in: 1) once a week …

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure due to H1N1 infection

Eva Tonveronachi, Ilaria Valentini, Andrea Fabiani, Rosanna Vaschetto et autres

We evaluated the clinical outcomes of consecutive patients positive for H1N1 and admitted to 6 Intensive Care Units in Italy for severe Acute Respiratory Failure and requiring non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV). 29/54 (54%) patients admitted to the ICUs needed immediate intubation for …

Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for difficult endotracheal intubation.

Ruggero M. Corso, Emanuele Piraccini, Morena Calli, Mathieu Berger et autres

O sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder with an incidence ranging from 2% to 4% of the adult population. The signs, symptoms and consequences of OSA are a direct result of the derangements caused by the repetitive collapse of the upper …

Control of Breathing in Patients with Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease: Response to Bamiphylline

Alessandro Mauro Spinelli, Alessandra Fanelli, MASSIMO GORINI, Antonio Sanna et autres

In two groups (A and B) of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), matched for age and routine pulmonary function testing, we evaluated inspiratory muscle strength (MIP), breathing pattern, mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1), inspiratory neural drive, assessed in terms of …

Inspiratory Impedance during Histamine-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Patients with Bronchial Asthma

Alessandro Mauro Spinelli, C. Lo Conte, MASSIMO GORINI, Roberto Duranti et autres

Histamine inhalation provocation tests were performed in 18 asymptomatic asthmatic patients with progressively increasing doses of a pressurized aerosol of histamine phosphate. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), total neuromuscular output, assessed by mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1), mean inspiratory flow (VT/Ti), …

Chest wall kinematics, respiratory muscle action and dyspnoea during arm vs. leg exercise in humans

Paola Romagnoli, MASSIMO GORINI, Francesco Gigliotti, Roberto Bianchi et autres

AIM: We hypothesize that different patterns of chest wall (CW) kinematics and respiratory muscle coordination contribute to sensation of dyspnoea during unsupported arm exercise (UAE) and leg exercise (LE). METHODS: In six volunteer healthy subjects, we evaluated the volumes of chest wall …

Prevalence and prognostic role of cardiovascular complications in patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admitted to Italian respiratory intensive care units.

Cleante Scarduelli, Nicolino Ambrosino, Marco Confalonieri, MASSIMO GORINI et autres

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular complications are frequently observed in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) admitted to respiratory intensive care units and may affect the prognosis. The aims of this study were to evaluate a) the prevalence of cardiovascular complications in patients with …

Iron lungversusconventional mechanical ventilation in acute exacerbation of COPD

Antonio Corrado, Roberta Ginanni, Giuseppe Villella, MASSIMO GORINI et autres

The aim of this randomised study was to compare the effects of iron lung ventilation (ILV) with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Forty-four patients with ARF were assigned …
