RESPIRATION AND THE AIRWAY Intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure evaluation using the intratidal compliance-volume profile
Editor’s key points † The use of PEEP is beneficial in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients with acute lung injury. † PEEP may also be useful during surgery under general anaesthesia, but the optimum levels are uncertain. † In this small observational study, a PEEP setting of 5 cm H2O was insufficient to prevent derecruitment and a reduction in compliance. † Higher, individualized se...
متن کاملThe shape of intratidal resistance-volume and compliance-volume curves in mechanical ventilation - an animal study.
In respiratory system mechanics, the shape of the intratidal pulmonary compliance-volume curve can be used to detect atelectasis or overdistension in the mechanically ventilated lung and thus to optimise the ventilator setting in terms of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and tidal volume (VT). To this end, a set of shapecategories had been suggested. Furthermore, a characteristic behavio...
متن کاملUpper-airway resistance syndrome.
Upper-airway resistance syndrome (UARS) was first recognized in children in 1982 (Guilleminault et al., 1982). The term UARS, however, was not used until adult cases were reported in 1993 (Guilleminault et al., 1993). The description of UARS brought the attention of clinicians to a group of patients that was left undiagnosed and untreated despite severe impairment. The authors indicated that th...
متن کاملPlethysmographic specific airway resistance.
sRaw measurements are feasible in children from 2 years of age. sRaw allows clinical monitoring and research during this critical period of growth and development in early life. sRaw measurements promise to bridge the gap of lung function measurements between infancy and school age.
متن کاملActive anterior rhinomanometric (AAR) evaluation of nasal airway resistance in normal Iranian sample
Abstract: Background: The most important and complex phenomenon of respiratory function of the nose is related to different nasal anatomy. The differences in facial anatomic structure between different races may also be reflected in nasal resistance and airflow. Caucasians has different facial anatomic structure which is the reflection of intranasal resistance or consequence of airflow. The...
