Abstract Goals of volume management are to accurately assess intravascular and extravascular predict response administration, vasopressor support, or removal. Data reviewed that support the following: 1) Dynamic parameters reliably guide administration may improve clinical outcomes compared static parameters, but some invasive only validated with mechanical ventilation without spontaneous breat...

BACKGROUND Breathing pattern description and chest wall kinematics during phonation have not been studied in male and female patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. OBJECTIVES We used optoelectronic plethysmography to provide a quantitative description of breathing pattern and chest wall kinematics. METHODS Volumes of chest wall compartments (rib cage and abdomen) were assessed...

One presents the results of a study concerning the use of microwave Doppler transducer for contact-less detection of cardiorespiratory activity. The main element of the installation is a microwave Doppler transducer. The Doppler signal resulting from the movement of the anatomical structures is a complex one. The experimental setup also includes an electrocardiograph, a photopletismograph and a...

Pressure controlled ventilation, and pressure support for spontaneous breathing are often used in intensive care because coordination of the ventilator with patient efforts can improve comfort and possibly reduce sedation. However we report a series of 10 patients whose efforts did not synchronise with pressure controlled ventilation. This was incorrectly diagnosed as inadequate sedation, and t...

OBJECTIVES To examine the efficacy of respiratory physiotherapy for prevention of pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery. METHODS We searched in databases and bibliographies for articles in all languages through November 2005. Randomized trials were included if they investigated prophylactic respiratory physiotherapy and pulmonary outcomes, and if the follow-up was at least 2 days. E...
