After reviewing your medical history and potential exposure to toxins, dust, or asbestos, Dr. Sayal may order lung X-rays and perform pulmonary function testing. Pulmonary tests are done in the office, so he can quickly assess many aspects of your lung’s health, such as the amount of air you can inhale and exhale, and how well oxygen gets into your blood. Although existing lung scarring can’t be treated, Dr. Sayal may prescribe OFEV® or Esbriet®, which are two innovative medications that help slow the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation are two other treatments that can improve your symptoms. Oxygen therapy boosts blood levels of oxygen, while pulmonary rehabilitation uses supervised exercise to increase your stamina and reduce breathlessness. At the first sign of symptoms like shortness of breath and coughing, call Pulmonology Group LLC Lung Specialist at (702) 780-0300 or book an appointment online by visiting https://lnkd.in/gaPC84x #PulmonaryFibrosis #PulmonologyGroup #LasVegasPulmonologists

The Zephyr Endobronchial Valves treatment has changed how severe COPD/emphysema was treated in over 40,000 patients worldwide. This bronchoscopic procedure is clinically proven to slow symptom progression compared to optimized medical management, as demonstrated in multiple RCTs. Zephyr Valves address the root cause of breathlessness—hyperinflation—resulting in improved lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life. Give your patients more.

Does continuous lung sound monitoring outperform traditional methods? Our study with researchers from New York Medical College compared continuous wheeze capture using the RESP® Biosensor to an FDA-cleared electronic stethoscope that was used intermittently in patients presenting with COPD or asthma. In addition to capturing 4x as many wheezes, results showed that the RESP Biosensor allowed clinicians to identify the presence of wheeze in 85% of patients compared to 77% using intermittent auscultation. Why does this matter? Correctly identifying which patients are wheezing can allow for more timely interventions, better respiratory management, and improved patient outcomes.

Day 2. And who said there's no "I" in Leadership hmm? 👀 #Resuscitation_Wizardry by Cliff Reid https://lnkd.in/eBaEMPQV ======= My #1 takeaway from Day 2: "The right ventricle is the forgotten ventricle." When we see a large right ventricle on POCUS during resuscitation, we often think of it as a passive victim of something like a pulmonary embolus causing pulmonary hypertension. However, the dilated right ventricle is not so benign. It compresses the left ventricle, limits left ventricular filling and reduces cardiac output. A dilated right ventricle sets up a "spiral of doom" - as it distends, it further reduces its own perfusion, which reduces its contractility even more. The solution is to reduce right ventricular afterload, WITHOUT reducing systemic vascular resistance (i.e. blood pressure). Apparently, nebulised GTN is a thing... https://lnkd.in/gUVsdwgJ & https://lnkd.in/gpSX3GzF ... who knew?!

Pulmonary function testing involves a group of tests that measure different aspects of lung function. https://bit.ly/3LCfZ4Y

Recently, I received a query on Instagram about why the Mitral valve is most commonly involved in Rheumatic heart disease. The logic behind it lies in two key factors: A. Left-sided cardiac valves, like the Mitral valve and Aortic Valve, bear more mechanical burden due to higher pressure in the left side of the heart compared to the right side. B. Valves that close under higher Systolic pressure, like the Mitral valve, face higher mechanical pressure due to a greater pressure difference gradient in systole. This vulnerability results in the Mitral valve being commonly affected in rheumatic fever. Understanding these concepts explains the order of valve involvement in Rheumatic heart disease: Mitral valve (most commonly involved), Aortic valve (2nd most commonly involved), Tricuspid valve, and Pulmonary valve (least commonly involved). #ConceptThatMatters ; conceived and created by Associate Professor Dr. Kishore Banerjee #pathology360 #medicine #medico #mbbs #md #medicalstudents medstudents ; All rights reserved.

In critical care, the delivery of adequate oxygen is paramount to patient survival. Oxygen therapy is a cornerstone of managing patients with respiratory failure, sepsis, cardiac arrest, and numerous other life-threatening conditions. Here’s an overview of its importance, methods of delivery, and considerations for optimal use. Oxygen is essential for cellular metabolism and energy production. In critically ill patients, ensuring sufficient oxygenation can prevent tissue hypoxia, organ failure, and ultimately, death. The primary goals are to maintain arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) within target ranges, ensuring adequate oxygen delivery to meet metabolic demands. #Breath #OxygenSupply #CriticalCare #LifeSavingBeds #MissionICU Maanoj Shah Ashwin Naik Dr Edmond Fernandes, MD Darshan Mahajan Dr. Viraj Vaidya Shanthi Mathur

Pulmonary function testing is indicated for various reasons, primarily to evaluate the respiratory system's function and status. https://bit.ly/3LCfZ4Y
