Purpose: Non-invasive ventilation is largely used to treat acute and chronicrespiratoryfailure.
2
The incidence of chronicrespiratoryfailure is underestimated in Martinique.
3
Lung transplantation must be considered when chronicrespiratoryfailure occurs in patients younger than 60 years.
4
Improvements in medical care have allowed many children with neuromuscular disease and chronicrespiratoryfailure to survive into adulthood.
5
Conclusions: In patients with chronicrespiratoryfailure, blood gas parameters should be considered as negative prognostic factors of right heart failure.
6
The study was designed to assess the patterns of use of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) for patients with chronicrespiratoryfailure across Europe.
7
During the period January 1985 to January 2001, 53 children with chronicrespiratoryfailure were included in the home care program.
8
Purpose of review: Muscle wasting and impaired muscle oxidative metabolism are common extrapulmonary features of chronicrespiratoryfailure (CRF) that significantly increase disease burden.
9
The most common cause of mortality in patients receiving AFT was chronicrespiratoryfailure, accounting for approximately 60%, and decreased proportions of LC were found.
