CALCULATION OF RESIDUAL VOLUME BY SPIROMETRIC DATA
ABSTRACT Background: The current practice to measure RV is either by BPG or helium dilution methods which may not be available in all clinics due to their cost. Methods: This paper outlines a method for both direct and indirect calculation of RV via PFT with acceptable sensitivity (81 %, 60% ), specificity (71 %, 94%) and validity (76%, 78%) for obstructive and restrictive lung disease respect...
متن کاملComparison of twenty three nebulizer/compressor combinations for domiciliary use.
We have assessed the physical and dynamic characteristics of 23 home jet nebulizer/compressor combinations currently available in the UK and Europe. The combinations were evaluated in terms of pressure-flow characteristics, aerosol mass distribution, volume output, electrical costs, and sound level. In addition, we determined the effect of nebulizer fill volume on aerosol mass distribution and ...
متن کاملMedication nebulizer performance. Effects of diluent volume, nebulizer flow, and nebulizer brand.
BACKGROUND Medication nebulizers are commonly used to delivery aerosolized medications to patients with respiratory disease. We evaluated output and respirable aerosol available to the patient (inhaled mass) for 17 medication nebulizers using a spontaneous breathing lung model. METHODS Three nebulizer fill volumes (3, 4, and 5 mL containing 2.5 mg of albuterol) and 3 oxygen flows (6, 8, and 1...
متن کاملresidual pneumoperitoneum volume and postlaparoscopic cholecystectomy pain
conclusions we conclude that volume of residual pneumoperitoneum is a contributing factor in the etiology of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. results at the end of the study, 17 patients (30.9%) had no residual pneumoperitoneum after 24 hours; which 23 (41.81%) had mild residual pneumoperitoneum, eight (14.54%) had moderate pneumoperitoneum and seven (12.72%) had severe pn...
