Hydrostatic weighing at residual volume and functional residual capacity.
Hydrostatic weighing (HW) was performed at both residual volume (RV) and functional residual capacity (FRC) to determine if underwater weighing at different lung volumes affected the measurement of body density. Subjects were 43 males, 18-25 yr. Subjects were submerged in the prone position, and the lung volume was measured by helium dilution at the time of the underwater weighing. Underwater w...
متن کاملHyperinflation: control of functional residual lung capacity.
Hyperinflation is the consequence of a dysbalance of static forces (determining the relaxation volume) and/or of the dynamic components. The relaxation volume is determined by an equilibrium between the elastic recoil of the lungs and of the chest walls. The dynamic components include the pattern of breathing, upper airway resistance and postinspiratory activity of inspiratory muscles. The resp...
متن کاملFunctional residual capacity during anaesthesia. I: Methodology.
The helium dilution technique for the measurement of functional residual capacity (FRC) is reviewed with special reference to anaesthesia. A modification is described which permits measurements to be made during intermittent positive pressure ventilation. This modification causes minimal interference with the circuit as it is used for spontaneous respiration. The measuring circuit may be altern...
متن کاملFunctional residual capacity in healthy preschool children.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of routine functional residual capacity (FRC) measurements in healthy preschool children aged 2.7-6.4 yrs. Furthermore, accuracy and reproducibility were investigated and normal values were collected. A mass-produced closed-circuit helium dilution device (rolling seal) was used. Selection of the 113 healthy children (from the 571 measure...
متن کاملFunctional residual capacity: the human windbag.
Like the windbag of a bagpipe, the functional residual capacity (FRC) is the lung volume that acts as a reservoir of air for physiologic use. This reserve volume is particularly important during the period of apnea that occurs during induction of general anesthesia. The balance of the inward elastic recoil of the lung and the outward chest wall forces determines the FRC. Inward recoil forces ar...
