The efficacy of antithymocyte induction therapy in lung transplantation is controversial, and its use varies from center to center. We hypothesized that rabbit antithymocyte globulin (RATG) induction therapy would decrease acute rejection after lung transplantation, and we designed a single-center, randomized, prospective study to test this hypothesis.
1010. A randomized, crossover design study of the pharmacology of extended-spectrum fluoroquinolones for pneumococcal infections.
The objectives of this study were to characterize the single-dose and steady-state plasma pharmacokinetics of IV levofloxacin and IV alatrofloxacin, and to compare the results to pneumococcal isolate sensitivities in order to estimate the clinical efficacy of current community-acquired pneumonia treatment regimens against pneumococcal infections.

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study compared the efficacy and safety of the hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) formulation of cromolyn sodium metered-dose inhaler (MDI) with the chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) formulation in asthmatic patients > or = 12 years old over a 12-week period.
1012. Effect of combined kinetic therapy and percussion therapy on the resolution of atelectasis in critically ill patients.

来源: Chest. 1999年115卷6期1658-66页
Some critically ill patients have difficulty in mobilizing their respiratory secretions. These patients can develop pulmonary atelectasis that may result in hypoxemia. There are some data to show that atelectasis may be prevented by turning a patient from side to side utilizing special beds.
1013. A comparison of bronchodilator therapy delivered by nebulization and metered-dose inhaler in mechanically ventilated patients.
The optimal method of delivering bronchodilators in mechanically ventilated patients is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the pulmonary bioavailability of albuterol delivered by the nebulizer, the metered-dose inhaler (MDI) and spacer, and the right-angle MDI adaptor in ventilated patients using urinary analysis of drug levels.
1014. Bedside evaluation of efficient airway humidification during mechanical ventilation of the critically ill.

来源: Chest. 1999年115卷6期1646-52页
To determine the correlation between simple rating of condensation seen in the flex-tube connecting the heating and humidifying device used with the endotracheal tube and hygrometric parameters (absolute and relative humidity and tracheal temperature) measured by psychrometry.
1015. Decreasing catheter colonization through the use of an antiseptic-impregnated catheter: a continuous quality improvement project.
To evaluate the use of an antiseptic-impregnated (chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine) catheter for the prevention of catheter colonization and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI). Then, based on these findings, to implement changes in hospital policy and to assess their effect on a hospital service.
1016. The relation between physician experience and patterns of care for patients with AIDS-related Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia: results from a survey of 1,500 physicians in the United States.
To determine whether physician experience and specialty influence the approach to care of AIDS patients with pneumonia, we surveyed physicians about their management of possible Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) infection.

1018. Patient satisfaction with conscious sedation for bronchoscopy.
Bronchoscopic technique is not standardized. Controversies exist with regard to premedication with sedatives before the test. To evaluate safety and efficacy of conscious sedation, we studied 100 randomized patients undergoing diagnostic bronchoscopy; patients received premedication with lidocaine spray and atropine sulfate i.m. (nonsedation group; 50 patients) or lidocaine spray, atropine i.m. and diazepam i.v. (sedation group; 50 patients).
1019. Effect of ipratropium bromide treatment on oxygen saturation and sleep quality in COPD.

Patients with COPD are at risk of experiencing a deterioration in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) during sleep, which is generally most pronounced during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Increased cholinergic tone has been suggested as a contributing factor to this decrease in SaO2. Therefore, we investigated whether 4-week treatment with ipratropium bromide inhalation solution 0.02% (qid) could improve sleep characteristics in COPD.
1020. Reduction in ventilator response to CO2 with relaxation feedback during CO2 rebreathing in normal adults.
Previous studies have shown that relaxation biofeedback reduced time on the ventilator for the difficult-to-wean patients.
