Computer simulation clarifies mechanisms of carbon dioxide clearance during apnoea (2018)
Journal Article
Laviola, M., Das, A., Chikhani, M., Bates, D., & Hardman, J. (2019). Computer simulation clarifies mechanisms of carbon dioxide clearance during apnoea. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 122(3), 395-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bja.2018.11.012

Background Apnoeic oxygenation can come close to matching the oxygen demands of the apnoeic patient but does not facilitate carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination, potentially resulting in dangerous hypercapnia. Numerous studies have shown that high-flo... Read More about Computer simulation clarifies mechanisms of carbon dioxide clearance during apnoea.

Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by ultrasonography in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients (2018)
Journal Article
Laviola, M., Priori, R., D’Angelo, M. G., & Aliverti, A. (2018). Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by ultrasonography in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. PLoS ONE, 13(7), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0200582

Introduction In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) the assessment of diaphragmatic function is crucial because respiratory muscle weakness can cause respiratory failure. We aimed to noninvasively assess diaphragmatic function in DMD by measuring diap...
