Clinical, Functional, and Prognostic Evaluation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Connective Tissue Disease-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease, Interstitial Pneumonia with Autoimmune Features: A Single-Center Prospective Study Open
Although a consensus report describing interstitial lung diseases with autoimmune features has been published, diagnostic criteria for this group are still vague. Since the interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features group had the wors…

Effect of lactate levels on the carbon dioxide pressure discrepancies between transcutaneous and arterial measurements among hypercapnic patients receiving noninvasive ventilation Open
Purpose Partial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO2) is widely used to evaluate alveolar ventilation. Transcutaneous CO2 (TcCO2) monitoring has been developed as a noninvasive alternative to ABG. Studies demonstrated an association between hypo…

Is pulse oximeter a reliable tool for non‐critically ill patients with COVID‐19? Open
Pulse oximeters may not be sufficient to assess actual oxygen saturation, especially in COVID-19 patients with high ferritin and fibrinogen levels and low lymphocyte count with low SpO2 measurements.
View article: Is pulse oximeter a reliable tool for non-critically ill patients with COVID-19?
Is pulse oximeter a reliable tool for non-critically ill patients with COVID-19? Open
Introduction: Guidelines recommend using a pulse oximeter rather than arterial blood gas (ABG) for COVID-19 patients. However, significant differences can be observed between oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) and arterial…
