[Physiologic response to proportional assist ventilation in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
To investigate the effect of different assist levels during proportional assist ventilation (PAV) on patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ⋯ The present study confirms the feasibility of noninvasive ventilation PAV in treating patients with acute exacerbation of COPD. Based on the patient's assessment, the ventilatory support level which the patients could comfortably tolerate was (57 +/- 11)%. noninvasive ventilation PAV set at a level of comfort determined by the patient can unload inspiratory muscles; at the comfortable level of ventilatory support, Wi, Pdi and PTP decreased by 57%, 72% and 65% respectively. It also improved breathing pattern and dypnea.

Comparative Study[Comparison of lateral position and prone position ventilation in patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome].
To evaluate the clinical result of lateral position ventilation and prone position ventilation in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) patients. ⋯ As auxiliary means in the treatment of ALI/ARDS, lateral position and prone position ventilation showed similar effects, but the lateral position was more convenient for practice and medical care, thus needs further investigation.

[A prospective study on the cough mechanism induced by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in patients with hypertension].
To explore the possible mechanisms underlying cough induced by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) in patients with hypertension. ⋯ The serum ACE activity was associated with polymorphism of ACE gene. Cough induced by ACEI was related to I allele and II genotype. There was a relationship between the serum ACE activity before administration of ACEI and cough induced by ACEI.

[Acute respiratory failure and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation treatment in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome].
To describe the blood gas features and short-term outcomes of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) treatment for acute respiratory failure (ARF) in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in this retrospective case series study sought. ⋯ Some of the SARS patients with ALI/ARDS could experience CO(2) retention, which might be related to the impairment of respiratory muscles. It is proved to be feasible and appropriate for NPPV treatment of respiratory failure in SARS patients who were at high risk of intubation related complications. As there was a high incidence of remarkable barotrauma, a careful lung protective strategy is necessary during the administration of NPPV as well as invasive mechanical ventilation.
