Preparing for an Influenza Pandemic: Hospital Acceptance Study of Filtering Facepiece Respirator Decontamination Using Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation Open
Objectives Predictions estimate supplies of filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) would be limited in the event of a severe influenza pandemic. Ultraviolet decontamination and reuse (UVDR) is a potential approach to mitigate an FFR shorta…

Variability in expiratory flow requirements among oscillatory positive expiratory pressure devices Open
In this bench test of OPEP devices, we found considerable variability in expiratory flow requirements needed to generate an expiratory pressure of >10 cm H2O. Our finding suggests that smaller patients or those with limited expiratory airf…

High-Flow Nasal Cannula and Aerosolized β Agonists for Rescue Therapy in Children With Bronchiolitis: A Case Series Open
Asthma and bronchiolitis are episodic obstructive pulmonary diseases characterized by bronchoconstriction, airway wall inflammation, increased mucus production, and air-flow obstruction. We present the cases of 5 infants treated for acute …
