High flow nasal therapy in immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
2019
Abstract Purpose The role of high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) as compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in immunocompromised patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with acute respiratory failure (ARF) remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to address this issue. Methods We searched PubMed, Medline and Embase until November 7th, 2018. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-randomized prospective and retrospective evidence were selected. Observational studies were considered for sensitivity analysis. Primary outcome was mortality rate; intubation rate was a secondary outcome. Results We included four studies in the primary analysis: one RCT…

Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx®) transarterial embolization for post-traumatic high-flow priapism
2016
International audience; We report a case of high-flow priapism treated successfully with superselective embolization of the cavernous artery. A 16-year-old male developed post-traumatic priapism subsequent to a fall causing blunt perineal trauma. He presented to our hospital four days after trauma. Immediately after the injury, he suffered painless sustained incomplete erection. High-flow priapism was diagnosed on the basis of color doppler ultrasonography findings. Computed tomography scan showed a high-flow arterio-venous fistula with feeders from branches of the right internal iliac artery. Selective arteriography of the right internal pudendal artery demonstrated an arterio-cavernous fi…
Radiosurgery of Carotid-Cavernous Fistulae
1994
25 cases of carotid-cavernous fistulae (CCF) who underwent radiosurgery with a conventional gamma source from 1977 to 1992 are reported. 22 were low-flow, spontaneous CCFs and 3 were high flow fistulae which had undergone a previous trApplng. The total dose delivered was 30 to 40 Gy. 91% to patients with low-flow CCF cured after radiosurgery in a mean time of 7.5 months, presenting improvent in a mean time of 2.3 months. Only one of the high-flow fistulae was cured. Follow-up period ranged between 14 years and 15 months (mean: 50 months). No recurrence was recorded in any case. While intravascular embolotherapy is the treatment of choice for high-flow fistulae, stereotactic radiosurgery may…
Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review
2019
Abstract Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these conditions. High flow nasal therapy (HFNT) is a noninvasive technique where humidified and heated gas is delivered through the nose to the airways via small dedicated nasal prongs at flows that are higher than the rates usually applied during conventional oxygen therapy. HFNT enables to deliver different inspired oxygen fractions ranging from 0.21 to 1. Despite having only recently become available, the use of HFNT in the adult population i…
Estudio comparativo de la combinación de diferentes modos de administración de anestésicos locales en la analgesia del parto
2020
La analgesia epidural es una de las técnicas más demandadas y por ello dicha analgesia ha ido evolucionando en los últimos años. Recientemente se ha desarrollado el modo PIEB (Programmed Intermittent Epidural Boluses) que puede reducir el consumo de anestésico local y así minimizar consecuencias indeseables tales como la cardio o la neurotoxicidad. En el año 2012 la compañía Smiths Medical lanzó al mercado un sistema de infusión ambulatoria CADD®-Solis versión software 3.0 de la generación de bombas de infusión CADD® que permite combinar varios modos de administración del anestésico local en el espacio epidural, hasta ahora no utilizados juntos ya que no existía en el mercado una bomba con …
