Lung Compliance Following Cardiac Arrest

Academic Emergency Medicine, 1995
ABSTRACTObjective: To determine lung compliance in patients who had out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests.Methods: A prospective, observational study of patients suffering nontraumatic cardiopulmonary arrest and requiring CPR at one university hospital ED. Following termination of resuscitation efforts, lung compliance was measured.

Compliance of the tubing compartment of lung ventilators

Intensive Care Medicine, 1981
The compliance of three types of breathing tubing commonly used in lung ventilators was measured. The black rubber corrugated tubing commonly used in anaesthetic circuits is too compliant for use in ventilators in intensive care. It is suggested that the international draft standard of compliance for breathing tubes used in lung ventilators should be ...

A Variable Compliance Lung Model

Respiratory Care, 1977
A lung analog having a known compliance is useful for teaching respiratory mechanics and for testing and periodic maintenance of mechanical ventilators. Rigid chambers have been employed for many years as compliance elements, 1.2 and the standard pub-lished recently by the American National Standards Institute (Z-79 Committee) describes a rigid-chamber

Compliance and stability of excised mouse lungs

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1976
Abstract o 1. Static air and saline volume-pressure (V-P) curves were obtained from lungs of the mouse, mus musculus. Air curves were similar for lungs in situ or excised. 2. Continuous filling (5 ml/min) gave V-P curves as sensitive to changes in the lung as stepwise filling (1 min pause/5 cm H2O), but were simpler and quicker to run.

Lung Compliance Measurement

2021
Measurements of respiratory mechanics and particularly the lung compliance are done widely in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. This can provide information about the severity of disease, the response to treatment, and the safety for ventilator discontinuation. Measuring lung compliance and making appropriate ventilator adjustments can lead to

Static Compliance in Subjects with Intact Lungs

Respiration, 2009
The static compliance was determined in 55 subjects with healthy lungs. Average values are within 2.696 liters/kPa (age between 20 and 30 years) and 1.794 liters/ kPa (age between 71 and 80 years). Static compliance was shown to be exclusively related to age (p < 0.001).

Sympathetic influence on the dynamic lung compliance

Life Sciences, 1973
Abstract Previous experiments have shown that lethal mechanical head injury decreases lung compliance in monkeys by 50% in the absence of any attendant gross lung pathology of edema; that this compliance decrease can be prevented by pretreatment with symphatholytic agents but not with the airway dilator isoproterenol or atropine; that these changes ...

Distributions of vascular volume and compliance in the lung

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1988
The ether- and dye-dilution methods were used to estimate the arterial, capillary, and venous volumes and compliances in isolated dog lung lobes. In the range of arterial pressure from approximately 7 to 14.5 Torr and venous pressure of 1.4 to 10.8 Torr, the total lobar blood volume ranged from approximately 2 to approximately 2.6 ml/kg body wt.
