It produces symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, headache, loss of taste, smell or appetite and many other rare symptoms. But the most important symptom is shortness of breath due to hypoxia. In a normal individual oxygen saturation (SpO2) is at least 95% and patient feels shortness of breath when SpO2 falls below 90% with some exception. SARS-CoV-2, a newly emergent coronavirus has the peculiarity to produce silent hypoxia, meaning SpO2< 90% or less like 80%, 70%, 60% without shortness of breath. Silent hypoxia can be diagnosed by monitoring SpO2 with pulse oximeter. For management of COVID-19, early symptoms like fever & cough, SpO2 should be monitored by pulse oximeter, followed by immediate correction of hypoxia by O2 supplementation and prophylactic oral or injectable anticoagulant to prevent thromboembolism and thus death rate can be reduced. Case summary: A 72-year-old man presented with the complaints of fever and headache followed by cough, fatigue, anorexia, loss of taste and appetite in next few days but no shortness of breath.

  • Effect of Inspiratory Flow Rate on Bronchomotor Tone in Normal and Asthmatic Subjects

Downloaded from Thorax 1984;39:86-92 Effect of inspiratory flow rate on bronchomotor tone in normal and asthmatic subjects W HIDA, M ARAI, C SHINDOH, Y-N LIU, H SASAKI, T TAKISHIMA From the First Department ofInternal Medicine, Tohoku University School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan ABSTRACT The effect of the inspiratory flow rate during deep inspiration on the regulation of bronchomotor tone was studied in nine normal and 22 asthmatic subjects. Changes in bronchial tone were assessed by respiratory resistance measured by an oscillation method. In normal subjects with bronchoconstriction induced by methacholine a rapid deep inspiration reduced respiratory resistance more than a slow deep inspiration. Asthmatic subjects with spontaneous airway narrowing showed an increase in respiratory resistance after deep inspiration that was greater after rapid than after slow deep inspiration. On the other hand, in asthmatics with methacholine induced bronchoconstriction, bronchodilatation occurred after deep inspiration and this was also greater after rapid than after slow deep inspiration. Lignocaine inhalation attenuated both bronchoconstriction and bronchodilatation induced by both slow and rapid deep inspiration. These results suggest that the effects of deep inspiration are mediated at least in part via receptors in the airways. It is suggested that in asthmatic patients with spontaneous broncho- constriction irritant receptor activity will be increased in proportion to the speed of inspiration. After methacholine induced bronchoconstriction stretch receptor activity is likely to behave in a similar fashion, leading to an opposite effect. http://thorax.bmj.com/ A deep inspiration has been reported to produce a carbachol induced bronchoconstriction, and they transient decrease in airway calibre in some asthma- suggested that this might have been due to greater tic subjects.' 2 In contrast, in the presence of phar- stimulation of stretch receptors at higher flows.

Changes in oxygenation (measured by pulse oximeter and transcutaneous P02 electrodes) and carbon dioxide (measured by transcutaneous PCO2 electrode) were recorded at the same time. Neither nebulised saline nor salbutamol caused any changes in the measurements of airway function. A significant drop in mean oxygen saturation of 2% and of transcutaneous oxygen tension of 1*3 kPa occurred after nebulised salbutamol. No significant change occurred in measurements of transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension, nor was there any significant change in any of these measurements after 2-5 ml of nebulised saline had been given as a control. These results suggest that nebulised salbutamol may cause significant hypoxaemia, in wheezy infants probably by inducing ventilation/perfusion disturbance. copyright.

We have incorporated Teflon particles (mean diameter 2 Itm) with aerodynamic properties similar to those of bronchodilator drug crystals into pressurised aerosol canisters. Controlled inhalations by eight patients with obstructive airways disease showed that on average 8-8% of the dose was deposited in the lungs (3 0% in the alveoli and 5'8% on the conducting airways) and 80% in the mouth. These figures are in good agreement with previous indirect estimates of deposition based on metabolic studies. The remainder of the dose was either expired (1 0%) or deposited in the aerosol actuator (9P8%). This method should have wide application for measurement of deposition patterns under various conditions and for assessment of thera- peutic effects. Since the identification of specific 62 receptors in centages of the dose deposited on the conducting http://thorax.bmj.com/ the human respiratory tract,' selective sympatho- airways and in the alveoli are unknown.

Abstract The aim was to compare the diagnosis of COPD among smokers according to different international guidelines and to compare the outcome when using slow (SVC) and forced vital capacity (FVC). In order to find current smokers a questionnaire was sent to persons who had been on sick leave for more than two weeks. Those who smoked more than 8 cigarettes per day were invited to perform a spirometry. Totally 3,887 spirometries were performed. In this sample 10.2% fulfilled the NICE COPD-criteria, 14.0% the GOLD COPD-criteria and 21.7% the ERS COPD criteria.
