Aim: To explore how emergency nurses experienced caring for brought-in-dead persons and their relatives, and what hindered or facilitated this care in an emergency setting.
Design: A qualitative study using Interpretive Description.
Methods: Data were collected as individual interviews with 13 nurses at seven Danish emergency departments from February to June 2023.
This study aimed to explore the self-management strategies of Danish patients living with advanced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), with a particular focus on their daily life and their interactions with the respiratory outpatient clinic. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 11 patients with COPD affiliated with a Danish respiratory outpatient clinic.

Looking at the current cell configuration, several issues, which hinders a stable long-term operation of the system, are still unsettled. According to reference studies, the ceramic matrix is one of the most critical components in view of its high impact on the cell performance since it can influence both the stability and the reaction path.

We aimed to investigate the effect of AOA on multidimensional aspects of dyspnea and as-needed consumption of opioids and benzodiazepines, as opposed to conventional oxygen therapy, in hospitalized patients with Acute Exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).
Method And Patients: A multicenter randomized controlled trial across five respiratory wards in the Capital Region of Denmark.
