Mortality rates of over 80% on conservative treatment have been reduced by this te...

In a consecutive series of 97 case...

متن کاملIntermittent positive-pressure breathing.
Why the continued confusion over the issue of intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB) as related to therapeutic benefits? Welch’s’ communication in response to the article by Loren et a12 comparing simple nebulization and IPPB in asthmatic children fails again to identify specific criteria for therapy with IPPB. Welch and Loren are both correct in identifying the ineffectiveness of ther...
