Abstract

Our aim is to investigate the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined with respiratory failure. Electronic and manual searches were applied to retrieve published studies relevant to CPAP, COPD, and respiratory failure. The retrieved studies were screened based on stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria to identify high-quality clinical studies for meta-analysis. Comprehensive meta-analysis 2.0 was conducted to statistical analysis. Initially, we retrieved 958 studies based on stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 studies, containing a total of 372 patients with COPD combined with respiratory failure, were selected for meta-analysis. The result of our meta-analysis revealed that partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in patients with COPD combined with respiratory failure was significantly lower 24 hours after CPAP treatment, and partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and pH were markedly higher 24 hours after CPAP treatment in the same patient group, indicating statistically significant differences as a result of CPAP treatment. Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity demonstrated that PaCO2 in patients with COPD combined with respiratory failure is...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
