Objective: Exercise induced oscillatory ventilation (EIOB) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is associated with severity and prognosis of disease, but clinical approach for the character of EIOB due to circulatory dysfunction are seldom reported.
Methods: This retrospective analysis of symptom-limited maximum CPET data with an increment of 10-20 W/min in 38 patients with CHF. We calculated the duration, frequency, amplitude and other parameters of EIOB.
Results: There were 31 presenting with EIOB (82%) in all patients with CHF. In EIOB group, VE amplitude were (12.4 ± 4.4)L/min (accounting for 81% ± 30% of mean) and duration were (77.0 ± 20.0)s. The number of patients whose EIOB presenting at rest, exercise, recovery stage and the whole eriod were 24, 31, 4 and 4, respectively. Except VE, there were VO2, VCO2, RER and PETO2 presenting EIOB in all 31 patients; VE/VCO2, VO2/VE and breath frequency in 29 patients; PETCO2 in 26 patients; VT and VO2/HR in 25 patients; and HR in 2 patients.
Conclusion: EIOB may occur in any period of CPET, mostly in severe patient with CHF, and presenting in many variables. Due to it is resulted from the circulatory dysfunction, we should call it circulatory (cardiac) oscillatory breathing abnormality.

Awake tracheal intubation (ATI) is a crucial technique for difficult airway management, particularly in patients with obesity, restricted neck movement, or upper airway abnormalities. Despite its efficacy, ATI is often avoided because of the technical challenges and stress it imposes on patients and anesthesiologists. We describe a new method, termed "intubation maintaining spontaneous breathing with three nerve blocks technique" (3N technique), which leverages nerve blocks to suppress reflexes, preserve spontaneous breathing, and facilitate smooth intubation.

Common pulmonary vein atresia (CPVA) is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by the absence of functional connectivity between the pulmonary vein and any other heart cavity or systemic venous structure. A 13-h-old newborn (G3P3) was admitted to the department of pediatrics of a local maternity hospital and given tracheal intubation ventilator for assisted breathing due to systemic cyanosis, respiratory distress, and poor response 4 h after birth. He was transferred to Handan Maternal and Child Health Hospital 7 h after birth.

Objectives: Inclusion body myositis (IBM) can result in deadly respiratory consequences. Yet, the mechanism driving this issue remains equivocal. We mapped the literature to identify physiological respiratory characteristics in IBM and the types of respiratory assessments used.

Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET) dysfunction is a rare condition characterized by an abnormally open Eustachian tube, leading to symptoms such as autophony, auditory fullness, and pulsatile tinnitus. This case report describes a 48-year-old female weighing 72.4 kilograms who developed persistent autophony and hearing her own breathing and heartbeat sounds following significant weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy.
