Noninvasive Ventilation in COPD—Pressure Matters

Jamanetwork.com 

High-intensity noninvasive ventilation was first used more than 20 years ago in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic hypercapnia. High-intensity noninvasive ventilation aims to achieve normocapnia or to reduce elevated Paco2 levels to the maximally achievable extent. For this purpose, the driving pressure, mainly achieved by modifying the inspiratory positive airway pressure, is individually titrated by a stepwise increase until normocapnia is established or the...

Shock First or Pace First to Break Ventricular Tachycardia?

Jamanetwork.com 

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) decrease all-cause mortality in patients at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias, especially those with reduced left ventricular systolic function, and this mortality benefit is directly related to termination of these potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Transvenous ICDs, which comprise an implanted pulse generator and 1 or more leads inside the heart, can terminate many ventricular tachycardias (VTs) with either a high-energy discharge (shock) or antitachycardia pacing (ATP).
