Relative impact of respiratory muscle activity on tidal flow and end expiratory volume in healthy neonates.
INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that infants dynamically regulate their tidal flow and end-expiratory volume level. The interaction between muscle activity, flow and lung volume in spontaneously sleeping neonates is poorly studied, since it requires the assessment of transcutaneous electromyography of respiratory muscles (rEMG) in matched comparison to lung function measurements. METHODS A...
متن کاملInterrelationship between lung volume, expiratory flow, and lung transfer factor in fibrosing alveolitis.
Fifty patients with fibrosing alveolitis studied on 104 occasions exhibited significant direct correlations between vital capacity (VC), maximum mid-expiratory flow rate (MMFR), and transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TLCO). Forced expired volume in the first second (FEV1)/VC ratio bore a weak negative correlation with VC. Peak expiratory flow, MMFR, and maximum flow rates at 50% and 25% of VC...
متن کاملA pilot study of expiratory flow limitation and lung volume reduction surgery.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To examine the relationships between changes in expiratory flow limitation (FL) during anesthesia and postoperative responses to lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). DESIGN Prospective consecutive case comparison. SETTING University medical center. PATIENTS Eight patients with severe emphysema. INTERVENTIONS General anesthesia with muscle paralysis and thoracic epidura...
متن کاملUpper airway collapsibility and patterns of flow limitation at constant end-expiratory lung volume.
The passive pharyngeal critical closing pressure (Pcrit) is measured using a series of pressure drops. However, pressure drops also lower end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), which independently affects Pcrit. We describe a technique to measure Pcrit at a constant EELV. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-treated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and controls were instrumented with an...
متن کاملEffects of Arm Bracing on Expiratory Flow Limitation and Lung Volume in Elderly COPD Subjects.
BACKGROUND Although it is useful for COPD patients to relieve their dyspnea by bracing their arms, the relationships between the arm bracing posture and expiratory flow limitation (EFL) and lung volume are unknown. Whether arm bracing affects dyspnea, EFL, and lung volume in elderly COPD patients was investigated. METHODS Sixteen elderly subjects (median [interquartile range] age 81 [77-85] y...
