Hemodynamic impact of oxygen desaturation during tracheal intubation among critically ill children with cyanotic and noncyanotic heart disease.
The objective of this study was to determine a level of oxygen desaturation associated with increased risk of tracheal intubation events in children in a pediatric or cardiac ICU with cyanotic and noncyanotic heart disease. Oxygen desaturation was measured by a fall in pulse oximetry from baseline after pre-oxygenation. The primary outcome was occurrence of hemodynamic tracheal intubation associated events defined as cardiac arrest, hypotension, or dysrhythmia. Results indicate that oxygen desaturation by 30% or more is associated with increased odds for adverse hemodynamic events, after adjusting for confounders. Oxygen desaturation was observed more often in children with cyanotic than those with noncyanotic heart disease, but hemodynamic tracheal intubation associated event rates were similar.

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and subsequent risk of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for atrial fibrillation.
Although emerging evidence has suggested the relationship of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with atrial fibrillation (AF), little is known about whether acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) increases the risk of repeated AF-related healthcare utilization. The investigators found that among patients with existing AF, AECOPD was associated with a higher risk of AF-related ED visit or hospitalization in the first 90-day post-AECOPD period.

Incidence of acute cardiovascular event after acute exacerbation of COPD.
There is a lack of comprehensive view of the association between acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) and the risk of acute cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of AECOPD with 30-day and 1-year incidences of acute cardiovascular event. The investigators concluded that AECOPD was associated with increased 30-day and 1-year incidences of acute cardiovascular event.

The impact of untreated obstructive sleep apnea on cardiopulmonary complications in general and vascular surgery: a cohort study.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether preoperatively untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects postoperative outcomes. It found that compared with treated OSA, untreated OSA was independently associated with more cardiopulmonary complications (risk-adjusted rates 6.7 percent versus 4.0 percent; particularly unplanned reintubations and myocardial infarction.
