In vitro and in vivo functional residual capacity comparisons between multiple-breath nitrogen washout devices [PDF]
Functional residual capacity (FRC) accuracy is essential for deriving multiple-breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) indices, and is the basis for device validation. Few studies have compared existing MBNW devices.

Should the Functional Residual Capacity be Ignored? [PDF]
Aim and Objectives: The functional residual capacity was given the least importance than the other lung volume parameters. Studies have revealed the restrictive pattern of lung disease in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Hyperinflation: control of functional residual lung capacity
Hyperinflation is the consequence of a dysbalance of static forces (determining the relaxation volume) and/or of the dynamic components. The relaxation volume is determined by an equilibrium between the elastic recoil of the lungs and of the chest walls.

Perioperative functional residual capacity [PDF]
The literature dealing with the magnitude, mechanism and effects of reduced FRC in the perioperative period is reviewed. During general anaesthesia FRC is reduced by approximately 20%. The reduction is greater in the obese and in patients with COPD. The most likely mechanism is the loss of inspiratory muscle tone of the muscles acting on the rib cage ...

Functional residual capacity increase during laparoscopic surgery with abdominal wall lift
Background and objectives: The number of laparoscopic surgeries performed is increasing every year and in most cases the pneumoperitoneum method is used.

Functional residual capacity related to hepatic disease. [PDF]
Functional residual capacity was measured in 20 children (aged 3.1-11.2 years) with liver disease. Children with severe liver disease, regardless of diagnosis, had reduced functional residual capacities (less than 80% of expected). Children with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency had higher functional residual capacities than those with other hepatic ...
