Objective: To compare the patient outcome in severe COVID-19 pneumonia between non-invasive ventilation and invasive mechanical ventilation. Study design: Prospective, observational study Setting Duration: Department of Pulmonology, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur from January 2021 to June 2021. Methodology: We analyzed 660 patients covid pneumonia. Conscious proning was done those requir...

Background: Hospitalized patients with Covid-19 may experience emotional problems and respiratory discomfort during mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of music therapy on respiratory comfort, anxiety, and depression among patients with Covid-19 under non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: It was a randomized clinical trial. The subjects were 64 pat...

Objective: To review the evidence as to whether early extubation with immediate application of non-invasive ventilation reduces mortality and ventilator-associated pneumonia and improves other outcomes in criticallyill adults receiving invasive ventilation. Data sources: Medline, Embase, CENTRAL, searched up to April, 2008. This search was supplemented by hand-searching of conference proceeding...

In 2009, a novel H1N1 Influenza virus has emerged and on June 11 the World Health Organization declared it as pandemic. It may cause acute respiratory failure ranging from severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome to exacerbations of airflow limitation. Non-invasive ventilation is now considered first-line intervention for different causes of acute respiratory failure and may be considered in ...

Background Non-invasive ventilation is increased used in preterm infants. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) after less invasive surfactant administration (LISA). Materials and Methods In this clinical trial, eighty ...
