Respiratory failure after thoracoplasty: treatment by intermittent negative-pressure ventilation.
Ten patients with severe respiratory failure secondary to extensive pulmonary tuberculosis and thoracoplasty have been treated with intermittent negative-pressure ventilation. All recovered and have been followed up for from six months to eight years. Two have died from unrelated causes and six have used some form of breathing aid at home. Negative-pressure ventilation, which is a non-invasive ...
متن کاملRespiratory muscle insufficiency in acute respiratory failure of subjects with severe COPD: treatment with intermittent negative pressure ventilation.
Nine subjects with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in acute respiratory failure (ARF) and with marked weakness of the respiratory muscles (Group A) underwent intermittent negative pressure ventilation by means of an iron lung (8 h daily for 7 days). Seven subjects with COPD in stabilized chronic respiratory failure (Group B) were studied as controls and submitted to the same...
متن کاملShort term effect of intermittent negative pressure ventilation in COPD patients with respiratory failure.
Ten patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypercapnic respiratory failure were randomly submitted to intermittent negative pressure ventilation (INPV) 6 h per day for 5 consecutive days by either a cuirass or pneumo wrap ventilator. The effects were assessed by measurements of spirometry, blood gases, maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures, 12 m...
متن کاملIntermittent negative pressure ventilation in the treatment of hypoxic hypercapnic coma in chronic respiratory insufficiency.
BACKGROUND In recent years non-invasive ventilatory techniques have been used successfully in the treatment of acute on chronic respiratory failure (ACRF), but careful selection of patients is essential and a comatose state may represent an exclusion criterion. The aim of this retrospective and uncontrolled study was to evaluate whether a non-invasive ventilatory technique such as the iron lung...
متن کاملNasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation in the treatment of respiratory failure in obstructive sleep apnoea.
Severe respiratory failure in a patient with obstructive sleep apnoea was treated successfully with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation is a non-invasive method of respiratory support originally developed for the treatment of chest wall and neuromuscular disorders.'2 Recent studies suggest that this technique may be applicable to a ...
