High-flow nasal oxygen vs. conventional oxygen therapy in patients with COVID-19 related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and a do not intubate order: a multicentre cohort study Open
Background High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is frequently used to treat patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) due to viral pneumonia, including COVID-19. However, its clinical effect compared to conventional oxygen therapy …

Telemonitoring for the follow-up of home noninvasive ventilation: a promising future with ongoing challenges Open
There is no agreement or clear evidence on the usefulness of algorithms using ventilator data predicting deterioration. Future research is needed focusing on algorithms that predict outcomes relevant to patients and the healthcare system. …

Deventilation Syndrome in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using Nocturnal Noninvasive Ventilation: What Are the Underlying Mechanisms? Open
Introduction: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly experience severe dyspnea after discontinuation of nocturnal noninvasive ventilation (NIV), known as deventilation syndrome (DVS), which negatively affects q…

On the relation between tidal and forced spirometry Open
Spirometry is a lung function test involving deep inhalation and forceful deep exhalation. It is widely used to obtain objective information about airflow limitation and to diagnose lung diseases. In contrast, tidal spirometry is based on …

The NIVO score: can it help to improve noninvasive ventilation in daily clinical practice? Open
The study of Hartley designed an easy-to-use score to predict mortality in noninvasively ventilated COPD patients. More information about NIV is gained, but the exact measures on how to improve NIV in clinical practice remains uncertain.ht…

Aerodynamic SARS-CoV-2 transport in non-invasive ventilatory support methods: a passive tracer study Open
Non-invasive ventilatory support is used in COVID-19 treatment, but little is known about associated virus transport, putting healthcare professionals at risk. This study reveals treatment-related aerodynamics by passive tracer visualisati…

High-flow nasal cannula for COVID-19 patients: risk of bio-aerosol dispersion Open
HFNC seems to increase droplet spread, so caution should be taken if it is applied for COVID-19, and adequate protective measures should be provided. Further research on viral spread and risks associated with HFNC therapy in COVID-19 patie…

Clinical Evidence of Nasal High-Flow Therapy in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients Open
Nasal high-flow therapy (NHFT) is an upcoming treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. It supplies heated, humidified, and, desirably, oxygen-enriched air through a nasal cannula at flow rates up to 60 L/min. Se…
