The provision of high concentrations of oxygen is often part of the treatment of cardiac or respiratory disease. The use of domiciliary oxygen is generally limited to those patients with advanced chronic respiratory disease. It can be given in a number of ways - as continuous long-term therapy, as portable oxygen therapy, or intermittently for short periods. This article discusses the benefits and costs.

BACKGROUND The adoption of remote patient monitoring (RPM) into routine medical care requires an increased understanding of how the physiologic changes accompanying disease development and what proactive interventions will improve outcomes. OBJECTIVE We present three case reports which highlight the capability of RPM to allow for early identification of viral infection with COVID-19 in chronic respiratory disease patients. METHODS Patients at a large pulmonary practice were identified who were enrolled in a respiratory RPM program and who had contracted COVID-19. The physiologic data was retrospectively reviewed and three instances were identified where the RPM system had notified clinicians of physiologic deviation due to the viral infection. RESULTS Physiologic deviations from respective patient baselines occurred during infection onset and, despite the infection manifesting differently in each case, had been identified by the RPM system. In one case, the patient was symptomatic, in another the patient was pre-symptomatic, and in the final the patient varied from asymptomatic to mildly symptomatic. CONCLUSIONS RPM systems meant for long-term use and which utilize patient-specific baselines can highlight physiologic changes early in the course of acute disease, such as COVID-19 infection. The cases demonstrate opportunities for earlier diagnosis, treatment, and isolation. This supports the need for further research into how RPM can be effectively integrated into clinical practice.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of mucosal bacterial vaccines (MBV) in reducing the number of exacerbations in patients with chronic respiratory disease. METHODS A prospective cohort study of patients followed at the Pneumology Unit of the University and Hospital Centre of Coimbra, with frequent infectious exacerbations (3 or more) despite the best therapeutic strategies employed. MBV was used as additional therapy. The number of exacerbations 1 year before therapy and 1 year after it were analyzed. RESULTS A sample of 11 individuals, 45.5% male, mean age 62.5 years. Eight patients had non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, 2 COPD (1 on long-term oxygen therapy), and 1 patient with Mounier Kuhn’s syndrome. Three patients were on azithromycin, 1 on inhaled colistin, and 2 on inhaled tobramycin. Out of the 11 patients, one presented complication (fever), which led to a suspension of therapy (excluded from results). Of the 10 patients who completed treatment, 5 had bacterial colonization and were submitted to a custom vaccine. The remaining 6 completed the standard composition. The average of infectious exacerbations in the previous year was 4.3 (0.7 with hospitalization). In the year after therapy, the mean number was 1.5 (0.5 with hospitalization). CONCLUSION The results obtained in this study favor the use of bacterial immunostimulation to reduce the frequency of RRIs in patients with chronic respiratory disease.

ObjectivesTo explore the experiences and perceived impact on health and well-being related to participation in a dance group for people with chronic respiratory disease (CRD).DesignAn exploratory qualitative study using thematic analysis of semistructured interviews.SettingA community dance group in a UK health centre.ParticipantsConvenience sample of long-term dance group participants.InterventionWeekly community dance sessions designed for people with breathlessness, lasting 75 min, led by a trained community dance leader.ResultsConvenience sample of eight participants, six females, aged 57–87 years (mean 75), with a median 2-year attendance at weekly dance sessions. Long-term attendance was driven by strongly held beliefs regarding the health and well-being benefits of participation. Four key themes were identified: dance as (1) a holistically beneficial activity, with physical and psychosocial health benefits including improved or maintained physical fitness and psychological well-being, and reduced need for healthcare; (2) an integral part of their life; (3) an enjoyable activity; and (4) a source of deep social cohesion.ConclusionsDance group participants perceived a broad range of health benefits of relevance to the biopsychosocial impacts of their respiratory disease. The themes identified are useful in the ongoing planning and evaluation of dance as a holistic complex intervention for people with CRD. Further research is required to assess the extent of health impacts identified, and how dance might be most effectively placed as an option in the management of CRD.Trial registration numberNCT04006015.
