Quantitative versus qualitative cultures of respiratory secretions for clinical outcomes in patients with ventilator‐associated pneumonia
Background Ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common infectious disease in
intensive care units (ICUs). The best diagnostic approach to resolve this condition remains …

Effects of respiratory muscle unloading on leg muscle oxygenation and blood volume during high-intensity exercise in chronic heart failure
…, CC Oliveira, AC Barroco, DC Berton… - American Journal …, 2008 - journals.physiology.org
Blood flow requirements of the respiratory muscles (RM) increase markedly during exercise

Maximal inspiratory pressure: does the choice of reference values actually matter?
Background Single-point measurements of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) are frequently
used to suggest muscle weakness in clinical practice. Although there is a large variability …
