Thrombocytopenia is commonly observed among critically ill patients.
Mechanical ventilation (MV) alters the outcome of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
With the evolution of complex bronchoscopic procedures, search for procedures that were less painful to patients and easier for the operators to perform commenced. Conscious sedation partially achieved this ta...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of combined therapy of cyclosporine A (CsA) with prednisolone for acutely exacerbated interstitial pneumonia.
Serum uric acid, the final product of purine degradation, has been shown to be increased in the hypoxic state as well as in systemic inflammation including patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (...
Clinical judgment of healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) represents a major concern as these fragile patients have an unusual presentation that frequently misleads severity assessment and results in poor clini...

To assess the diagnostic value of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) as inflammatory markers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
The advantages of low cost, bedside availability, and no radiation exposure have made ultrasound an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern pulmonary medicine. Color Doppler ultrasound demonstrates normal or i...
There are limited data regarding active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) patients requiring ICU admission.
Type A viruses are the most virulent human pathogens among the three influenza types and cause the most severe disease: H1N1, which caused swine flu in 2009, and H5N1, which caused avian flu in 2004.
Ultrasound (US) has received increasing interest from chest physicians in recent years especially in Respiratory ICU (RICU) settings. US examination is a valuable method in diagnosis of various thoracic condit...
Primary pulmonary paraganglioma is an uncommon neuroendocrine tumor of the lung, mostly discovered accidentally.
The use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) through laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in children allows the use of an adult-size bronchoscope with its grasping tools; thus, it may aid in foreign body (FB) extraction.
The single-breath (SB) diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is the most clinically useful routine pulmonary function test after spirometry and lung volumes. The DLCO is the product of two measurements...
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are susceptible to complications, especially volutrauma, during the period of mechanical ventilation; low ventilation is a safe strategy to a...
Therapeutic rigid bronchoscopy with tracheobronchial stenting using silicone stents is a well-established procedure in the management of malignant and benign tracheobronchial stenosis. However, there is limite...
