REDUCTION OF RESPIRATORY DEVICE-RELATED PRESSURE INJURIES Respiratory devices such as NIV masks, ETT/tracheostomy devices and holders, and nasal cannula can cause pressure injuries to patients. A study by researchers at Baptist Medical Center–Jacksonville found that a targeted intervention implemented within its RT department successfully prevented respiratory device-related pressure injuries in acutely ill patients. OXYGEN DELIVERY AND ACID-BASE BALANCE Acute alkalemia is associated with decreased cerebral blood flow, leading to symptoms of confusion, myoclonus, asterixis, loss of consciousness, and seizures. 10 Acute hypocapnia causes slight reductions in serum sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Alkalemia shifts the oxygen disassociation curve to the left, increasing hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen (Figure 1). 11 Compensatory changesin

5 TIPS FOR INTERPRETING ABGS Arterial blood gases provide valuable information on a patient’s oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base status. Understanding the interpretation of an ABG is essential to assess the patient and make decisions on the appropriate action – from providing supplemental oxygen, clearing secretions, or giving medication to full support with mechanical ventilation. THE LIMITS OF CPAP IN ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS STARTING A COPD NAVIGATOR PROGRAM Our monthly COPD column explores the clinical role of the COPD navigator, which is intended to oversee patient care, education and discharge for all COPD patients admitted to the hospital with the goal to reduce 30-day readmissions.

THE ROLE OF OXYGEN IN PALLIATIVE CARE PULSE OXIMETRY AND LOW PERFUSION A respiratory therapist performs pulse oximetry testing on an ICU patient. The overall limitation to a pulse oximeter’s ability to accurately read and track the state of the true arterial circulation is the signal-to-noise ratio.

REDUCTION OF RESPIRATORY DEVICE-RELATED PRESSURE INJURIES THE ROLE OF OXYGEN IN PALLIATIVE CARE HILLROM LAUNCHES VOLARA, SYNCLARA AIRWAY CLEARANCE DEVICES The Synclara Cough System is a noninvasive therapy that simulates a cough to remove secretions in patients with compromised peak cough flow. The Synclara Cough System uses mechanical insufflation-exsufflation technology to clear secretions from the upper airways, representing the most complete solution available to assist patients with vital secretion evacuation. NEW STUDY MAY EXPLAIN HYPOXIA IN COVID-19 PATIENTS A new study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports by University of Alberta researchers is shedding light on why many COVID-19 patients, even those not in the hospital, are suffering from hypoxia, a potentially dangerous condition in which there is decreased oxygenation in the body’s tissues. The study also shows why the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone has been an effective BLOOD DONATIONS SAFE UNDER CURRENT COVID-19 SCREENING A new study by NIH researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 does not appear to pose a threat to the safety of the nation’s blood supply. HEALTHCARE WORKERS THREE-TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE INFECTED Healthcare workers were three times more likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 compared to the general population, with 20% asymptomatic and unaware they had COVID-19, according to a study published in ERJ Open Research.. The study also showed that it was not only frontline staff who faced the higher risk, suggesting that there was transmission between staff and within the wider community CDC: TEENS’ COVID HOSPITALIZATION RATES 3 TIMES HIGHER CDC data suggest that the hospitalization rate due to the novel coronavirus is three times higher than flu-related hospitalizations in teens. Findings out Friday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) stemmed from FluSurv-NET data, a surveillance system across 13 states, to compare COVID-19 and flu-related hospitalizations FIRST TRIAL OF NANOPARTICLE UNIVERSAL FLU VACCINE BEGINS A first-in-human, Phase 1 trial assessing an investigational nanoparticle influenza vaccine (FluMos-v1) designed to provide long-lasting protection against multiple flu virus strains has begun at the National Institutes of Health. SPIRATION VALVE SYSTEM FOR EMPHYSEMA NOW COVERED UNDER Medical Mutual of Ohio updated its coverage to include the Spiration Valve System for eligible patients suffering from severe emphysema, a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). FDA SEEKS $6.5B FOR 2022 BUDGET The US FDA has requested a total budget of $6.5 billion as part of the President’s fiscal year (FY) 2022 budget – a nearly 8% ($477 million) increase over the agency’s FY 2021 funding level for investments in critical public health infrastructure, core food safety and medical product safety programs and other vital public healthprograms.
NEW TREATMENT ALGORITHM FOR CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS WITH A new stepped-care treatment algorithm in the International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology, “Multidisciplinary consensus on a stepwise treatment algorithm for management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps,” recommends Exhalation Delivery System-fluticasone (EDS-FLU) for the treatment of patients with nasal polyps, according to ENT pharmaceutical company Optinose. STUDY USES SMARTPHONE TO TRACK CYSTIC FIBROSIS The CF Foundation announced an at-home observational study that aims to characterize the outcomes of people while using Trikafta. UNDERSTANDING VENTILATOR BASICS AND VENTILATOR WAVEFORMS Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) is an available option that can be added to any of these four approaches. When PEEP is added, the patient does not exhale at the end of exhalation or back to a zero pressure baseline, but instead exhalation is ended with This website stores cookies on your computer.
