Stevens JP, et al. – Via examining patients admitted with dyspnea to a tertiary care hospital, researchers described the multiple sensations and associated emotions of dyspnea. Patients who reported breathing discomfort of at least 4 out of 10 on admission (10 = unbearable) were selected. Research staff recruited 156 patients within 24 hours of admission, and assessed the current and worst dyspnea of daily patients with the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile; patients partook in the study 2.6 days on average. The finding that air hunger is the dominant sensation of severe dyspnea has implications for the design of these sensations' laboratory models and can have implications for symptom palliation targets, according to the investigators. The dominant emotions associated with dyspnea were anxiety and frustration.
