Stimulants in Chronic Respiratory Failure
The effects of slow intravenous infusion of three different respiratory stimulants (dimeftine, nikethamide and prethcamide) on minute and alveolar ventilation, blood gases and pH were studied in 18 patients with chronic pulmonary emphysema and chronic respiratory failure. For a more accurate assessment of the results of the double blind controlled trial, a factorial design in a Youden square sc...

Respiratory failure is still an important complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hospitalisation with an acute episode being a poor prognostic marker. However, other comorbid conditions, especially cardiovascular disease, are equally powerful predictors of mortality. The physiological basis of acute respiratory failure in COPD is now clear. Significant ventilation/perf...
متن کاملRespiratory changes during defecation in patients with chronic respiratory failure.
Oxygen (O2) desaturation may occur in patients affected by respiratory diseases during daily activities, although most of these activities, e.g. walking, washing and cooking, can be avoided or eventually performed with an external aid. In this prospective study, the respiratory changes induced by the mandatory effort of defecation were assessed in patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency...
متن کاملClinical intervention in chronic respiratory failure.
D espite the obvious partnership of the lungs and the respiratory muscles in ventilation and gas exchange, only within the past 10 years has the possible contribution ofthe respiratory muscles to chronic respiratory failure been investigated in any detail. The opinion has been challenged that the respiratory muscles, albeit a vital pump, are not immune to fatigue.' Increase in the elastic and r...
