Evaluation of Non-Invasive Oxygen Saturation Index Compared With Oxygenation Index in Pulmonary and Non-Pulmonary Patients Admitted in PICU

Saturation oxygen pressure index for assessment of pulmonary disease in neonates on non-invasive ventilation.

This prospective observational study on 36 neonates aimed to estimate the correlation between the new Saturation Oxygen distending Pressure Index (SOPI) and Oxygenation index. SOPI had high correlation (r=0.94) with oxygenation index. SOPI of <2, 2, and 3.7 represented mild, moderate and severe pulmonary disease, respectively with high sensitivity and specificity.

Effects of Pentoxifylline on Oxygenation and Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Background: It was hypothesized that the use of Pentoxifylline would increase arterial O2 saturation and increase exercise tolerance in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Methods: We tested this hypothesis in 23 patients with COPD and pulmonary hypertension. Patients were randomized to receive Pentoxifylline or placebo, each for a 12-week period, in a prospectiv...

Pulmonary artery distensibility index is a non-invasive useful marker of pulmonary arterial hypertension progression.

ulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mmHg at rest detected by right heart catheterization (RHC),1,2 is a fatal disease caused by small pulmonary artery obstruction as a result of vascular proliferation and remodeling.3,4 PAH is characterized by markedly elevated pulmonary artery pressure and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (...
