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.

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.
