Intrathoracic volume changes in relation to the cardiopneumogram.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The outflow of blood from the chest during the phases of the cardiac cycle is found to be nearly equaled by a phasic inflow. The net volume change exerts very small pressure changes in the intrathoracic (intrapulmonary) air. This is not due to the distensibility of the chest wall because when allowance is made for this factor and the intrathoracic blood volume change is calculated, it is found to be a veiy small fraction of the stroke volume.

متن کاملMovements of the Base of the Ventricle and the Relative Constancy of the Cardiac Volume
The view that1 tlhe heart remains relatively constant in volume in diastole as in systole, has been maintained by one of us on the basis of an analysis of tjhe cardiopneumogram (1). Thus cardiac volume changes produce pressure changes within the lungs which, when transmitt,ed through the respiratory t,ree and corrected for tlhe elastic give of the chest walls, seem to be produced by a cardiac v...
متن کاملSilent Tachypnoea in a Neonate: A Rare Presentation of Right Side Bochdalek Hernia with Intrathoracic Kidney
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare condition. The reported incidence of intrathoracic renal ectopia due to CDH is also rare. A right-sided thoracic kidney is much less common due to the location of the liver. Isolated intrathoracic kidney is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on chest imaging. The authors report on a 21days old female infant with late-presenting right ...
متن کاملRight Atrial Pressure Affects the Interaction between Lung Mechanics and Right Ventricular Function in Spontaneously Breathing COPD Patients
INTRODUCTION It is generally known that positive pressure ventilation is associated with impaired venous return and decreased right ventricular output, in particular in patients with a low right atrial pressure and relative hypovolaemia. Altered lung mechanics have been suggested to impair right ventricular output in COPD, but this relation has never been firmly established in spontaneously bre...
متن کاملAccurate monitoring of intravascular fluid volume: A novel application of intrathoracic impedance measures for the guidance of volume reduction therapy
BACKGROUND A significant proportion of patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) that undergo volume reduction therapy are discharged with unchanged or increased bodyweight suggesting that the endpoints for these therapies are not optimally defined. We aimed to identify vectors that can help monitor changes in intravascular fluid volume, that in turn may more accurately gui...
