Oxygen consumption during spontaneous ventilation with continuous positive airway pressure: assessment in normal volunteers and patients with acute respiratory failure

Canadian Anaesthetists' Society Journal

Abstract

Continuous positive airway pressures (CPAP) of 0.49 kPa and 0.98 kPa were applied to ten healthy volunteers and nine critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure. A modified Godart-Statham NV 16003 spirometer was used to measure respiratory frequency (f), tidal volume (VT), oxygen consumption (VO2), and changes in functional residual capacity (delta FRC). During CPAP of 0.49 kPa, volunteers had a decrease in f, and increased VT and minute volume (MV). At 0.98 kPa CPAP, f did not change but VT and MV significantly increased. VO2 did not change at either pressure. The volume of delta FRC increased with an increased level of CPAP. The entire volunteer group was comfortable throughout the whole study. When CPAP was applied to acutely ill patients, f decreased. VT and MV increased at both CPAP pressures. delta FRC was similar to the volunteers. VO2 in the patient group rose significantly at 0.49 and 0.98 kPa CPAP. Some of the patients were uncomfortable with 0.49 kPa pressure, while all the patients were distressed at 0.98 kPa CPAP. The effects of increased oxygen consumption and patients discomfort should be considered in critically ill patients receiving CPAP therapy.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
