- Malfunction Reporting Patterns in Life-Supporting Versus Noninvasive Ventilators: A Stratified Text-Mining Analysis of the FDA Device MAUDE Database. [Journal Article]Respir Care. 2026 Oct 16; :19433654261493652. [Online ahead of print]RC
- CONCLUSIONS: Text mining of ventilator-related adverse event reports revealed distinct reporting patterns across life-supporting and noninvasive devices. These findings are exploratory and do not establish the frequency or causes of device failure. Stratification of reports by device category helped prevent the reporting patterns of individual devices from being obscured by a single recall. This study demonstrates the potential value of combining post-market surveillance data with text-mining methods to support medical device safety surveillance.

- Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a cornerstone of therapy for people with chronic lung disease. Over the years, there has been a tremendous amount of research in the field. Researchers have studied improved delivery methods for PR that improve patient outcomes. This article will review several important articles in the field over the last year.

- Comparing the Efficacy of Negative-Pressure Ventilation to Noninvasive, Positive-Pressure Ventilation in Children With Acute Respiratory Failure. [Journal Article]Respir Care. 2026 Oct 07; :19433654261486084. [Online ahead of print]RC
- CONCLUSIONS: In this multi-center retrospective cohort, NPV was used in a small minority of children younger than 3 years with acute respiratory failure. After adjustment for measured confounders and center-level clustering, ventilation modality was not independently associated with intubation. Prospective studies are needed to define optimal patient selection and the role of NPV in pediatric acute respiratory failure.

- CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates an AI-based clustering analysis of snoring patterns can be used to evaluate OSA severity. The snoring pattern analysis can also be an additional screening tool for OSA.

- The Response of Dorsal Lung Compliance to Prone Positioning Differs by Body Mass Index in ARDS. [Journal Article]Respir Care. 2026 Sep 23; :19433654261487238. [Online ahead of print]RC
- CONCLUSIONS: Prone positioning was associated with a greater increase in dorsal lung compliance in subjects with BMI ≥35 kg/m[2] compared with subjects with BMI <30 kg/m[2]. Our findings suggest that the response of regional compliance to prone positioning in ARDS differs by body mass index, identifying obesity as a population in whom positional unloading may be more effective.

- Drug Delivery via Vibrating Mesh Nebulizer With Symmetrical and Asymmetrical High Flow Nasal Cannulas in an Adult Model. [Journal Article]Respir Care. 2026 Sep 17; :19433654261481604. [Online ahead of print]RC
- CONCLUSIONS: The asymmetrical cannula improved aerosol delivery compared with the symmetrical cannula during quiet breathing with low VT. During distressed breathing, however, the symmetrical cannula was more efficient, regardless of VT. Thus, the asymmetrical and symmetrical cannulas may be selected for drug delivery via a vibrating mesh nebulizer with an HFNC in patients with quiet and distressed breathing, respectively.
