Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in children with status asthmaticus. DESIGN: Brief report. SETTING: Pediatric intensive care unit in two tertiary institutions. SUBJECTS: Children with severe acute asthma and hypercarbic respiratory failure. INTERVENTIONS: Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation using a bilevel positive-pressure (BIPAP) device. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Three children, ages 9, 11, and 15 yrs, were treated for hypercarbic respiratory failure caused by status asthmaticus by using BIPAP. The duration of pediatric intensive care unit admission was 48 hrs, and the duration of therapy ranged from 12 to 17 hrs. Inspiratory positive airway pressure ranged from 10 to 14 cm H(2)O (0.98-1.37 kPa), with a mean of 12 cm H(2)O (1.18 kPa). Expiratory positive airway pressure ranged from 4 to 5 cm H(2)O (0.39-0.49 kPa), with a mean of 5 cm H(2)O (0.49 kPa). Pulse oximetry was monitored continuously until resolution of symptoms. The mean values for respiratory rate, pH, and CO(2) tension were compared at initiation, 3-4 hrs, and >12 hrs after beginning BIPAP. BIPAP treatment resulted in improved ventilatory status as shown by an increase in pH from a mean of 7.26 on admission to...Continue Reading

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.

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.
