Fluid replacement and respiratory function

compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops

chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...

Resuscitation--fluid replacement.

Intravenous volume replacement: which fluid and why?

Fluids available for intravenous volume replacement may be either crystalloid or colloid. The fundamental differences between these fluids are their effects on the Starling equation (table 1) which describes fluid flux between the intravascular and interstitial spaces. Starling stated that the rate of fluid movement into or out of a capillary is related to the net hydrostatic pressure minus the...

Respiratory fluid mechanics.

This article covers several aspects of respiratory fluid mechanics that have been actively investigated by our group over the years. For the most part, the topics involve two-phase flows in the respiratory system with applications to normal and diseased lungs, as well as therapeutic interventions. Specifically, the topics include liquid plug flow in airways and at airway bifurcations as it rela...

Respiratory and Cardiovascular Function

HEATH and Whitaker 1 applied the term hypertensive pulmonary vascular disease to patients with chronic, severe pulmonary hypertension. They emphasized that this disease is a distinct clinicopathologic entity with uniform clinical features and characteristic morphologic changes of the pulmonary arteries and arterioles irrespective of the etiology of the hypertension. The vascular changes indicat...
