ATS/ERS statement: raised volume forced expirations in infants: guidelines for current practice.
Over the past few years, a series of documents (1–8) have been produced by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society Task Force on Standards for Infant Respiratory Function Tests, and this document represents part of this series. The aim of this task force is to summarize what is currently seen to be good laboratory practice, and to provide recommendations for users and manufac...
متن کاملImproved detection of abnormal respiratory function using forced expiration from raised lung volume in infants with cystic fibrosis.
The raised volume rapid thoracic compression (RVRTC) technique is a recently developed method of measuring lung function in infants. The measurements of forced expiratory volume-time (FEVt) parameters from raised lung volumes have been shown to be less variable than maximal flow at functional residual capacity (VmaxFRC), obtained from the conventional rapid thoracic compression (RTC) technique....
متن کاملVolume-guaranteed Ventilation Versus Pressure-controlled Ventilation in Preterm Infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: This study was targeted toward comparing volume-guaranteed (VG) ventilation with conventional pressure-controlled (PC) ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in terms of the facilitation of weaning and extubation and occurrence of complications, such as pneumothorax, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), retinopathy of prematur...
متن کاملNasal airflow resistance measurement: forced oscillation technique versus posterior rhinomanometry.
This study was designed to determine whether nasal airflow resistance (Rn) which is nonlinear during tidal breathing, can be assessed by the forced oscillation (FO) technique. Rn values obtained by the FO technique and extrapolated to 0 Hz (Rn,FO) were compared to those assessed by posterior rhinomanometry at maximal tidal inspiratory flow (Rn,m), at a 0.5 L x s(-1) flow (Rn,F), and at a 1 hPa ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Treatment Response of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants: Early Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation versus Early Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Background Infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) is one of the main causes of serious complications and death in preterm infants. Both Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) and Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) are known as the most common treatment strategies for IRDS. The present study intended to compare NCPAP and NIPPV in the treatment of preterm inf...
