Article Synopsis
- The study explored differences in neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet indices between stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and those experiencing acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).
- Conducted at Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, the research involved 64 subjects (32 with stable COPD and 32 with AECOPD) and analyzed blood samples to identify variations.
- Results showed that NLR, platelet distribution width, ESR, and C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher in AECOPD patients, indicating a correlation between these inflammatory markers and the severity of the condition.
Subcutaneous emphysema (SE) occurs when air enters the tissues under the skin and passes into the soft tissues. We demonstrated a simple, minimally invasive technique for treating extensive SE, using a readily available infant nasogastric tube, in a mechanically ventilated patient.
