Prone position ameliorates lung elastance and increases functional residual capacity independently from lung recruitment
BACKGROUND Prone position is used to recruit collapsed dependent lung regions during severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, improving lung elastance and lung gas content. We hypothesised that, in the absence of recruitment, prone position would not result in any improvement in lung mechanical properties or gas content compared to supine position. METHODS Ten healthy pigs under general an...
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 کاملLung volumes and lung volume recruitment in ARDS: a comparison between supine and prone position
BACKGROUND The use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and prone position (PP) is common in the management of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome patients (ARDS). We conducted this study to analyze the variation in lung volumes and PEEP-induced lung volume recruitment with the change from supine position (SP) to PP in ARDS patients. METHODS The investigation was conducted in a m...
متن کاملReference Values for Residual Volume, Functional Residual Capacity and Total Lung Capacity
Reference values play an important role in establishing whether, in an individual, measured volumes fall within a range to be expected for a healthy person of the same sex, similar stature, age, and other characteristics. Hence, reference values should be chosen that are appropriate to the person being investigated. Ideally, the reference values should be consistent; in the context of this pape...
متن کاملMeasurement of Functional Residual Capacity of the Lung Before and During Acute Lung Injury
Background: We measured Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) of the lungs with a CO2 partial rebreathing technique, first in a mechanical lung analog, and then in mechanically ventilated animals before, during, and subsequent to an acute lung injury induced by oleic acid. We compared the FRC from partial CO2 rebreathing with those of a nitrogen washout reference method. Materials and Methods: Usi...
