Respiratory impedance measurements for assessment of lung mechanics: focus on asthma.
This review discusses the history and current state of the art of the forced oscillation technique (FOT) to measure respiratory impedance. We focus on how the FOT and its interaction with models have emerged as a powerful method to extract out not only clinically relevant information, but also to advance insight on the mechanisms and structures responsible for human lung diseases, especially as...
متن کاملPractical assessment of respiratory mechanics.
More than 30 years after its ®rst description, mortality associated with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is still great, with reported rates between 30 and 60%. The range in mortality is partly because of the loose de®nition of both ARDS and acute lung injury (ALI), based on bilateral lung in®ltrates on X-ray, a left ventricular ®lling pressure <18 mm Hg and a PaO2/FIO2 of <300 m...

15 صفحه اولEffects of undernutrition on respiratory mechanics and lung parenchyma remodeling.
Undernutrition thwarts lung structure and function, but there are disagreements about the behavior of lung mechanics in malnourished animals. To clarify this issue, lung and chest wall mechanical properties were subdivided into their resistive, elastic, and viscoelastic properties in nutritionally deprived (ND) rats and correlated with the data gathered from histology (light and electron micros...
متن کاملUsefulness of Colored 3D Imaging of Respiratory Impedance in Asthma
PURPOSE Recently, the clinical application of the forced oscillation technique (FOT) has progressed with the spread of commercially available FOT devices, including the impulse oscillation system and MostGraph. We investigated the usefulness of color 3D imaging of respiratory impedance in asthma using MostGraph. METHODS Whole-breath and within-breath respiratory system resistance (Rrs) and re...
