Usefulness of transcutaneous PCO2to assess nocturnal hypoventilation in restrictive lung disorders
Background and objectiveNocturnal hypoventilation is now an accepted indication for the initiation of non-invasive ventilation. Nocturnal hypoventilation may be an under diagnosed condition in chronic respiratory failure. The most appropriate strategy to identify sleep hypoventilation is not yet clearly defined. In clinical practice, it is indirectly assessed using nocturnal pulse oximetry (NPO) and morning arterial blood gases (mABG). Even though continuous transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (TcPCO2) monitoring is theoretically superior to NPO plus mABG, it is not routinely used. We aimed to prospectively compare NPO plus mABG with nocturnal TcPCO2 for the detection of alveolar…
Halo Sign and Eosinophilia: What Is Your Diagnosis?
Blood eosinophilia associated with transient and migrating nodules with a halo sign on chest computed tomography scan should suggest larva migrans related to toxocariasis or <i>ascaris suum</i>.
Pneumopathies non infectieuses induites par les biothérapies ciblées
Resume Les biotherapies des rhumatismes inflammatoires chroniques ont revolutionne leur prise en charge. Ces nouveaux medicaments sont susceptibles d’induire des effets secondaires multiples, parfois severes et ceux-ci peuvent atteindre l’appareil respiratoire. Les presentations cliniques et radiologiques sont multiples et l’apparition de symptomes respiratoires chez un patient sous biotherapie doit faire suspecter un effet iatrogenique avec au premier plan la survenue de pneumopathies interstitielles diffuses parfois tres severes, de granumolatoses et d’anomalies auto-immunes. La complication infectieuse doit toujours etre eliminee. La demarche est complexe et doit etre rigoureuse ce d’aut…
