Rib cage muscle interaction in airway pressure generation.
We have previously demonstrated in dogs that the change in airway opening pressure (DeltaPao) produced by isolated maximum activation of the parasternal intercostal or triangularis sterni muscle in a single interspace, the sternomastoids, and the scalenes is proportional to the product of muscle mass and the fractional change in muscle length per unit volume increase of the relaxed chest wall. ...
متن کاملSternomastoid, rib cage, and expiratory muscle activity during weaning failure.
We hypothesized that patients who fail weaning from mechanical ventilation recruit their inspiratory rib cage muscles sooner than they recruit their expiratory muscles, and that rib cage muscle recruitment is accompanied by recruitment of sternomastoid muscles. Accordingly, we measured sternomastoid electrical activity and changes in esophageal (DeltaPes) and gastric pressure (DeltaPga) in 11 w...
متن کاملHuman rib cage distortability.
In five normal men, we divided the rib cage into lung-apposed [pulmonary rib cage (RCp)] and diaphragm-apposed [abdominal rib cage (RCab)] compartments and calculated their absolute cross-sectional areas (Arc,p and Arc,ab) by anteroposterior and lateral dimensions measured by magnetometry. Distortion was quantified as the displacement of RCp and RCab produced by diaphragmatic twitches away from...
متن کاملFinding the rib cage in chest radiographs
-We describe a system of computer algorithms that finds the rib cage in chest radiographs. Our algorithms link the dorsal and ventral portions of the rib contours such that each rib is identified and can be displayed individually. In a preliminary application of our system to five adult chest radiographs, about 90)o of the ribs were found, and ca. 15% of the computed rib contours were false. Pa...
متن کاملChanges in rib cage geometry during childhood.
Age related changes in rib cage geometry were found from measurements made on chest radiographs from 38 individuals aged from 1 month to 31 years and on computed tomography (CT) scans in another 28 individuals, aged from 3 months to 18 years. Chest radiographs were taken for minor respiratory symptoms or fever and only films showing no abnormality were used. CT scans were obtained in children u...
