[Translated article] Advances in the work of multidisciplinary teams for the care of patients with severe uncontrolled asthma. A post-COVID vision (TEAM 2.0 project).

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease with a high health, social and economic impact, particularly in the case of Severe Uncontrolled Asthma (SUA). For this reason, new strategies are especially necessary to improve its approach, with a personalized approach to each patient and from a multidisciplinary perspective, in addition to integrating the new telemedicine and telepharmacy practices promoted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, the TEAM 2.

Incidence of pulmonary embolism in patients with non-invasive respiratory support during COVID-19 outbreak.

While the incidence of thrombotic complications in critically ill patients is very high, in patients under non-invasive respiratory support (NIS) is still unknown. The specific incidence of thrombotic events in each of the clinical scenarios within the broad spectrum of severity of COVID-19, is not clearly established, and this has not allowed the implementation of thromboprophylaxis or anticoagulation for routine care in COVID-19. Patients admitted in a semi-critical unit treated initially with NIS, especially Continuous-Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), were included in the study.

Best practices for interdisciplinary care of uncontrolled severe asthma patients (TEAM project).

As one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory diseases, asthma imposes a heavy health and socioeconomic burden on society,  particularly in the case of patients who fail to appropriately control the  disease. For this reason, improving the clinical management of patients  with severe uncontrolled asthma should be a priority for any healthcare  system.At a time when healthcare models for chronic disease management and  personalized medicine are undergoing a major overhaul, the project presented in this study seeks to lay the foundations for an  interdisciplinary care model for patients with severe uncontrolled asthma.

Successful conservative management in iatrogenic tracheobronchial injury.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe and to assess the effectiveness of conservative treatment as the chosen treatment for managing iatrogenic tracheobronchial injuries (ITBI).

Methods: Between January 1993 and December 2003, 33 tracheobronchial injuries were treated in our hospital. Eighteen (54.
