Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to unclean continuous positive airway pressure equipment

[Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to venlafaxine].

Venlafaxine is a selective serotonin, noradrenalin, and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Although side effects are rare, venlafaxine has very occasionally been associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman diagnosed with depressive disorder and treated with venlafaxine (Dobupal) at a dose of 150 mg/d for 18 months. When depression worsened, the dose was inc...

Intraocular Pressure during Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Pressure support compensation for inspiratory work due to endotracheal tubes and demand continuous positive airway pressure.

We evaluated the use of pressure support to compensate for the added inspiratory work of breathing due to the resistances of endotracheal tubes and a ventilator demand-valve system for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). A mechanical model was used to simulate spontaneous breathing at five respiratory rates through 7-mm, 8-mm, and 9-mm endotracheal tubes with and without a ventilator de...
