Utility Inspiratory Capacity by Simple Spirometry as an indirect Measure of Air Trapping
Objective: To evaluate the utility of inspiratory capacity (IC) measured by simple spirometry as an indirect measure of air trapping. Method: Functional residual capacity (FRC) and IC were determined, respectively, by a body plethysmography and by spirometry. Air trapping was defi ned by a FRC higher than 120%. Spearman’s rho between IC and FRC is determined and the receiver operating character...
متن کاملInspiratory Capacity as an Indirect Measure of Immediate Effects of Positive Expiratory Pressure and CPAP Breathing on Functional Residual Capacity in Healthy Subjects.
BACKGROUND Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and CPAP are used to enhance breathing parameters such as functional residual capacity (FRC) in patients. Studies comparing effects of PEP and CPAP on FRC are few and variable. One reason for this may be that sophisticated equipment, not suitable in the clinical setting, is required. Because total lung capacity (TLC) consists of inspiratory capacity...
متن کاملA Simple Measure to Assess Hyperinflation and Air Trapping: 1-Forced Expiratory Volume in Three Second / Forced Vital Capacity
BACKGROUND Several recent studies have suggested that 1 minus-forced expiratory volume expired in 3 seconds / forced vital capacity (1-FEV3/FVC) may be an indicator of distal airway obstruction and a promising measure to evaluate small airways dysfunction. AIMS To investigate the associations of 1-FEV3/FVC with the spirometric measures and lung volumes that assess small airways dysfunction an...
متن کاملIncentive spirometry and breath stacking: effects on the inspiratory capacity of individuals submitted to abdominal surgery
Background: Respiratory complications are the main causes of increased morbidity and mortality in individuals who undergo upper abdominal surgery. The effi cacy of physical therapy procedures needs clarifi cation, and it is necessary to know which therapeutic approaches are the best ones to implement. Objective: To compare the inspiratory volume during the breath stacking maneuver with the volu...
متن کاملComet Assay as an Indirect Measure of Systemic Oxidative Stress
Higher eukaryotic organisms cannot live without oxygen; yet, paradoxically, oxygen can be harmful to them. The oxygen molecule is chemically relatively inert because it has two unpaired electrons located in different pi * anti-bonding orbitals. These two electrons have parallel spins, meaning they rotate in the same direction about their own axes. This is why the oxygen molecule is not very rea...
