      Oxygen cylinders are widely used both in hospital and prehospital care. Excessive or inappropriate FIO2 may be critical for patients with hypercapnia or hypoxia. Moreover, over-oxygenation could be deleterious in ischemic disorders. Supplemental oxygen from oxygen cylinder should therefore be delivered accurately. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of oxygen flows for oxygen cylinder ...
    • The double trunk mask improves oxygenation during high-flow nasal cannula therapy for acute hypoxemic respiratory failurePeer reviewedClosed access

      High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy is used to deliver an FIO2 from 0.21 to 1.0. The double-trunk mask (DTM) is a device designed to increase the FIO2 in patients with a high inspiratory flow demand. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of DTM in hypoxemic subjects already receiving HFNC.
    • Energy expenditure of household activities and cardiorespiratory fitness in women with obesityPeer reviewedClosed access

      Patients with obesity experience difficulties in executing household activities. Our purpose was to compare the energy expenditure and exercise intensity of daily household activities and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in women with obesity and normal weight women.
    • A new formula for predicting the fraction of delivered oxygen during low-flow oxygen therapyPeer reviewedClosed access 

      décembre 2018, Duprez, Frédéric; Machayekhi, Shahram; Cuvelier, Grégory; Legrand, Alexandre; Reychler, Grégory, HE Condorcet
      Article scientifique
      During O2 therapy at low flow in patients who breathe spontaneously, the fraction of delivered O2 (FDO2) is unknown. In recent years, FDO2 prediction formulas have been proposed. However, they do not take into account the effect of inspiratory flow (V̇I) on the FDO2. The aim of this study was to validate a new FDO2 prediction formula, which takes into account the V̇I and compares it with other FDO2 ...
    • Plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations are not related to differences in maximal oxygen uptake in endurance trained and untrained menPeer reviewedClosed access

      Article scientifique
      Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis that could limit oxygen (O2) delivery in the working skeletal muscles by altering endothelium‐dependent vasodilatation. Exercise capacity is associated with plasma ADMA concentrations in patients with cardiovascular diseases, but this issue has still not been investigated in healthy subjects. We aimed to ...
    • Presbyphagie et santé orale : élaboration d'un support informatif auprès du personnel soignant du service gériatrique du CHwapiOpen access

      "Notre objectif était d’intégrer la sensibilisation en santé orale au sein de la prise en charge de la personne âgée en milieu hospitalier. Dans ce contexte, nous avons conçu un support audiovisuel de sensibilisation pour le personnel soignant du service de gériatrie du CHwapi. Pour cela, nous avons adressé des questionnaires au personnel soignant afin de recueillir l’intérêt, les connaissances et ...
