Assessing the measurement of airway resistance by the interrupter technique.
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary function tests allow an objective assessment of the degree of bronchial obstruction in collaborative subjects. The measurement of airway resistance using passive methods is very helpful in non-collaborative subjects. The objective of this study was to assess the applicability of measuring airway resistance by the interrupter technique (Rint) in pediatric subjects, determi...
متن کاملRESPIRATORY PHYSIOLOGY Repeatability of airway resistance measurements made using the interrupter technique
Background: To be able to interpret any measurement, its repeatability should be known. This study reports the repeatability of airway resistance measurements using the interrupter technique (Rint) in children with and without respiratory symptoms. Methods: Children aged 2–10 years who were healthy, had persistent isolated cough, or who had previous wheeze were studied. On the same occasion, th...
متن کاملTracking variations in airway caliber by using total respiratory vs. airway resistance in healthy and asthmatic subjects.
An index of airway caliber can be tracked in near-real time by measuring airway resistance (Raw) as indicated by lung resistance at 8 Hz. These measurements require the placing of an esophageal balloon. The objective of this study was to establish whether total respiratory system resistance (Rrs) could be used rather than Raw to track airway caliber, thereby not requiring an esophageal balloon....
متن کاملAntibiotic Sensitivity of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale Isolates Associated with Respiratory Diseases.
187 commercial checken flocks affected with respiratory diseases were examined for Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolation. The bacterium was isolated from 105 (56.2%) poultry flocks. Drug sensitivity test using standard disk diffusion technique was performed with 19 antibiotics. All the isolates were susceptible to tiamulin and most of them were susceptible to chloramphenicol and linco-spect...
متن کاملInvestigation of indentation derived creep response using constant load and constant strain rate methods
Time dependent plastic deformation in metals can occur at high temperatures. Typically the creep test is conducted to characterize the deformation features; however, the conventional uniaxial power-law creep test may be impractical for small scale materials. Accordingly, instrumented indentation techniques are frequently employed. This study concerns the employment of instrumented indentation t...
