Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effectiveness of a new asthma treatment combining fluticasone furoate, vilanterol, and umeclidinium, approved in Japan on February 18, 2021, by evaluating lung function in asthma patients.
- Researchers conducted a before-after study with 114 asthma outpatients (mostly Japanese), finding significant improvements in lung function tests and asthma control after switching to the new treatment.
- While 66% of subjects wanted to continue with the new treatment, mild local adverse effects were reported in 30% of patients, with no serious side effects observed, marking a promising advancement in asthma management.
Background: Usual clinical practice for arterial blood gas analysis (BGA) in conscious patients involves a one-time arterial puncture to be performed after a resting period of 20-30 min. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of transcutaneous BGA for estimating this gold standard arterial BGA.
Methods: Spontaneously breathing Asian adults (healthy volunteers and respiratory patients) were enrolled (n = 295).
