Measurement of Functional Residual Capacity of the Lung by Nitrogen Washout/Wash-in in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients
Background: We evaluated the functionality, feasibility of use at the bedside and repeatability of subsequent Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) measurements in mechanically ventilated ICU patients using a new system. The newly developed system had previously been assessed for accuracy in spontaneously breathing human volunteers. Materials and Methods: We measured the FRC of the lungs of 20 mec...
متن کاملHydrostatic 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...
