Oxygen saturation in cystic fibrosis.
The availability of non-invasive oxygen saturation (SaO2) measurement could prove to be a useful tool for following up the progress of patients with cystic fibrosis. The present study was undertaken to compare its use with other routine measurements in the clinic. A total of 100 patients with cystic fibrosis were compared with 50 patients with stable asthma. The children were aged between 5 and...
متن کاملEffect of chest physiotherapy on oxygen saturation in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Decreasing arterial oxygen saturation has been reported in patients with cystic fibrosis during postural drainage when this was combined with other manoeuvres, which did not, however, include thoracic expansion exercises or pauses for relaxation and breathing control. When these features were included in an active cycle of breathing techniques during postural drainage in 20 patients with cystic...
متن کاملAssessment and Interpretation of Arterial Oxygen Saturation in Children with Cystic Fibrosis
In CF, salt transport abnormalities at the airway surface leads to reduced volumes of airway surface liquid, thick mucous which traps bacteria, and recurrent respiratory infections. The resultant infection-inflammation cycle causes lung damage, and the subsequent lung function deterioration ultimately results in premature death. This process may be exacerbated by periods of low oxygen levels (h...
متن کاملNocturnal saturation and glucose tolerance in children with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Glucose intolerance is common in cystic fibrosis (CF), and is associated with worsening pulmonary function and nutritional status, and increased mortality. As sleep-disordered breathing is associated with disorders of glucose metabolism, it was hypothesised that recurrent episodes of hypoxaemia during sleep, and sleep disruption, would be associated with inflammation and glucose into...
متن کاملMaintaining Respiratory Health in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system, however, it also affects a number of other organs and systems. More than 90% of mortality of CF patients is due to lung complications. Healthy lungs are important for a long life for people with CF, We will discuss two important topics for maintaining respiratory health. Chronic use of drug...
