Successful home noninvasive ventilation initiation rarely happens in real life: study

09 Nov 2021

It is rare to achieve successful home noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in real life, reports a recent study. To improve patient-centred outcomes, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and NIV tolerance must then be assessed.

Chronic respiratory symptoms in young adulthood tied to CVD, mortality risks in midlife

07 Nov 2021

Young adults with chronic respiratory symptoms are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in midlife, with the risk increase independent of established cardiovascular risk factors, smoking and lung function, a study reports.

Masking for COVID-19 tied to fewer ED visits for other respiratory illnesses

04 Nov 2021 by

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to wear mask to prevent the spread of the disease, but the increasing prevalence of masking has also resulted in a reduction in emergency department (ED) visits for other viral illnesses and exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a US study.

NIVO + IPI survival benefit persists over 3 years in mesothelioma: CheckMate 743

03 Nov 2021 by

The combination immunotherapy of nivolumab (NIVO) and ipilimumab (IPI) continues to provide durable survival benefit over chemotherapy in the first-line setting in patients with unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), despite the patients having been off immunotherapy for 1 year, according to the 3-year data from the CheckMate 743 trial presented at ESMO 2021.

Deep sedation with ketamine benefits COVID-19 ARDS patients requiring intubation

03 Nov 2021 by

In patients with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who require mechanical ventilation and deep sedation, the use of ketamine has a propofol- and vasopressor-sparing effect, as shown in a study.
