Noninvasive ventilation and renal replacement therapy in do-not-intubate order critically ill patients: A brief report
No full textIntroduction: Multiple organ failure has been considered a contraindication for noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Materials and methods: We described the outcome of Do-not-Intubate (DNI) patients with acute respiratory failure, treated with NIV and, subsequently, necessitating renal replacement therapy (RRT). Results and discussion: Seven patients admitted to our Respiratory Intensive Care Unit, developed Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) during NIV treatment and received RRT for 12.8 ± 8 days together with NIV. All the patients but one, discontinued renal support because they regained a satisfactory urinary output; nevertheless mortality rate was high (71%). Conclusion: Our data suggest that RRT could be feasible together with NIV. RRT was associated with an acute improvement in renal function but did not modify the mortality rate

Irene Smalls
No full textIrene Smalls leading a music program for her book at the Main Library.
Irene Smalls (1950- ) is an award-winning children's author. Her book "Irene Jennie and the Christmas Masquerade" describes an old holiday custom celebrated along the Cape Fear. Slaves in Wilmington, NC and plantations would dress up in costumes around Christmas and New Year's to parade from house to house. Scholars believe this tradition came with the slaves from their West African roots. The "Jonkonnu" celebration continues in Bermuda, but died out in Wilmington after the Civil War. The tradition was picked up by white youngsters who dressed up for "Koonering" in Wilmington until around World War I
Effects of asymmetric nasal high-flow cannula on carbon dioxide in hypercapnic patients: A randomised crossover physiological pilot study
No full textNasal high flow (NHF) therapy is an established form of non invasive respiratory support used in acute and chronic care. Recently, a new high flow nasal cannula with asymmetric prongs was approved for clinical use. The clinical benefits of the new cannula have not yet been defined and no evidence are available on the use of asymmetric NHF support in patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We conducted a single-centre, prospective, physiologic, crossover, randomised study to investigate the effects on partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels of two different nasal cannula (“asymmetric” vs “standard” nasal interface) in 20 COPD hypercapnic patients. All patients were recovering from an acute exacerbation that required hospitalisation and had persistent hypercapnia, despite having attained a stable pH. After enrolment, two 90-min trials with the asymmetric nasal high flow interface (Optiflow + Duet, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd., New Zealand) or the standard interface (Optiflow, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd., New Zealand) were randomly applied and a washout period of 60 min between the two treatments was performed for minimising the carryover effect. Study results suggested that the asymmetrical cannula did not significantly decrease PaCO2 compared with the standard cannula. Similar performances were also observed in terms of diaphragm activity, dyspnoea and patient’s comfort. Interestingly, asymmetric NHF cannula performed significantly better in reducing the dead space ventilation and increasing the ventilatory efficiency in more advanced COPD patients with more severe hypercapnia higher baseline PaCO2 values (PaCO2 ≥ 65 mmHg at baseline)
