How Often Should PCO2 Be Monitored in Chronic Hypercapnic Patients? Are Current Practices Enough?
Chronic hypercapnia, characterized by elevated levels of CO2, poses a significant challenge for individuals with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular disorders (NMD), and obesity. Although the negative effects of chronic hypercapnia are widely acknowledged, researchers at the University of Michigan are shedding light on the true urgency of its management.

What is Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation (IPV) Therapy?
Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) therapy is an airway clearance therapy that combines percussion, high-velocity flow, and entrainment to mobilize secretions and address gas exchange impairment. The therapy can be delivered through a mouthpiece or mask, directly to the airway, or in-line with a ventilator, making it versatile for a range of patient populations.
