A randomized trial comparing the effects of electrical stimulation of the quadriceps muscle and decreased trigger sensitivity plus exercise breathing after discharge on mechanically ventilated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to those receiving standard care in terms of 30-day mortality, hospital readmission, and health-related quality of life Open
Background To compare the effectiveness of ES and TS plus exercise breathing after discharge on mechanically ventilated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to those receiving standard care in terms of 30-day mortalit…

Periodic limb movement in sleep before and after continuous positive airway pressure titration in obstructive sleep-apnea patients Open
Background Periodic limb movement during sleep (PLMS) could exist with patients diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most competent therapy for OSA. However, its effect on PLM remain…

Ultrasound as a bedside tool for diagnosis of post-intubation tracheal stenosis Open
Background Screening of post-intubation stenosis can allow early diagnosis, early management of stenosis, and possible prevention of progress. Fiberoptic bronchoscope is the gold standard for diagnosis of tracheal stenosis. Other imaging m…

View article: Outcome of short-term systemic steroid therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with acute exacerbation
Outcome of short-term systemic steroid therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with acute exacerbation Open
Background There are insufficient data on the optimum duration of systemic steroid therapy during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aim To evaluate the outcome of short-term systemic steroid therapy in pat…
View article: Assessment of ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using transthoracic ultrasonography
Assessment of ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using transthoracic ultrasonography Open
Background Mechanical ventilation (MV) can cause progressive thinning of diaphragm muscle and hence progressive decrease in diaphragmatic function. We aimed to assess the rate at which diaphragm thickness ( t di ) changed during MV and its…
View article: Prognostic factors and outcome of mechanically ventilated interstitial lung disease patients
Prognostic factors and outcome of mechanically ventilated interstitial lung disease patients Open
Background The prognosis of mechanically ventilated interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients was controversial in previous studies. Identifying the factors associated with mortality could guide therapy and allow good use of ICU resources. …
