CORRELATION OF RESPIRATOR DIAL “COMPLIANCE” WITH MEASURED LUNG COMPLIANCE

Correlation between compliance regimens with health locus of control in patients with hypertension

  Background: Epidemiological changes leading to chronic diseases are becoming more important day by day. Hypertension is also known as a chronic disease. Worldwide prevalence of hypertension have caused serious complications. The disease has become a health problem in all communities. This research aims at analyze the correlation between compliance with the treatment regimen and health locus o...

Lung compliance measurement in mice.

TO THE EDITOR: I read the article by Martin et al. (1) in the September 2007 issue of AJP-Lung. The authors presented interesting observations of increased lung compliance in TIMP-3 null mice during a septic insult. Lung compliance was measured by the linear regression method, the constant phase model, and indirectly by light microscopy morphometry. However, they failed to provide data on stati...

Airway Resistance and Lung Compliance

Lung compliance may be defined as the volume change per unit pressure change.8 It is an expression of the elastic-like properties of the lung if it is measured at points on a pressure-volume curve at which air is not moving into or out of the lung. These points of no air-flow occur near the end of inspiration and again near the end of expiration. Compliance does not include air resistive change...

Effect of hypothermia on lung compliance.

Modification of Lung Compliance During Perfusion

Mechanical factors of lung ventilation have been studied under various conditions since the works of Rohrer,’ Wirtz and Neergaard.’ Clinical application was reached with the well-known papers of Dean and Visscher3 and Otis and others.4 Because of the resistances aroused by such a displacement, the action of a series of forces or pressures is required for moving a volume of a gas to or from the ...
