Effects of nutritional status on exercise performance in advanced cystic fibrosis.

abstract：:High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is FDA-approved for ventilating patients with bronchopleural fistulae (BPF), yet little is known about its effect on the fistula airleak. We quantitated a patient's BPF airleak during both conventional volume-cycled ventilation and HFJV. The effect of chest-tube suction (CTS) on B...
