The subjective experience of discomfort in breathing, termed dyspnea (or breathlessness), is a symptom with multifactorial causes of highly complex and largely undefined psycho-physiologic mechanism(s). There are at least three discrete qualities of dyspnea likely corresponding to different types of respiratory stress and separate underlying mechanisms. Perception of dyspnea can be measured by ...
INTRODUCTION To describe an approach to assessment and treatment of dyspnea. SOURCES OF INFORMATION New level I evidence can guide management of dyspnea in advanced illness. Assessment and use of adjuvant medications and oxygen relies on level II and III evidence. MAIN MESSAGE Opioids are first-line therapy for managing dyspnea in advanced illness. They are safe and effective in reducing sh...
The genesis of dyspnea is complex. It appears to be related to central respiratory drive although prevailing leg fatigue could independently potentiate dyspnea. We hypothesized that experimentally induced leg fatigue generates more intense exertional dyspnea for a given level of ventilatory drive. Following familiarization, 19 healthy subjects (32.2 ± 7.6 yr; 11 men) performed a 5-min treadmill...
BACKGROUND The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2011 update recommends that the management and treatment of COPD be made to combine the impact of disease and future risk of exacerbation. These patients have worsening quality of life and limitation of activities of daily living (ADLs), which can be manifested as a decrease in S(pO2) and progressive dyspnea. The aim o...
To evaluate available clinical methods (self ratings and questionnaire) for rating dyspnea, we (1) compared scores from the recently developed baseline dyspnea index (BDI) with the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and the oxygen-cost diagram (OCD) in 153 patients with various respiratory diseases who sought medical care for shortness of breath; and (2) evaluated the relationships between dy...
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine whether measurement of plasma pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP) could be used in discriminating between cardiac and pulmonary dyspnea in the general population. BACKGROUND Natriuretic peptides are useful markers in ruling out acute cardiac dyspnea in the emergency department, but their diagnostic significance in evaluating chronic dyspnea ...
Increased importance is now being placed on evaluating dyspnea in patients with obstructive lung disease (OLD). We measured breathlessness at rest, using a Borg scale dyspnea index (BSDI) before and after bronchodilator albuterol [salbutamol] 200 micrograms) in 93 patients with OLD drawn from a larger population undergoing routine spirometry. The median BSDI declined from 3 to 1 before and afte...
