Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The Official ATS Statement on dyspnea (2012) defined dyspnea as "a subjective experience of breathing discomfort that consists of qualitatively distinct sensations that vary in intensity" and stated that there are "distinct mechanisms and afferent pathways are reliably associated with different sensory qualities (notably work/effort, tightness, and air hunger/unsatisfied inspiration)"; and noted that "dyspnea sensations also vary in their unpleasantness and in their emotional and behavioral significance." Using the MDP, research staff interviewed patients who reported dyspnea > 4/10 at admission to medical/surgical floors in a tertiary care hospital. 104 patients consented to the study on the day of admission and completed the MDP (3 rated A1 less than 4 at the time of interview).
