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.

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

Circuit compliance compensation in lung protective ventilation

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
Lung protective ventilation utilizes low tidal volumes to ventilate patients with severe lung pathologies. The compensation of breathing circuit effects, i.e. those induced by compressible volume of the circuit, results particularly critical in the calculation of the actual tidal volume delivered to patient's respiratory system which in turns is ...

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.

Static Compliance in Subjects with Intact Lungs

Respiration, 1989
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 less than 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 ...

Indirect Assessment of Lung Compliance in Chronic Lung Diseases

Respiration, 1978
The slope of the flow volume curves was analysed in 20 normal subjects 28 patients with irreversible chronic airway obstruction, 24 patients with bronchial asthma, 8 patients with diffuse interstitial fibrosis and 7 patients with extensive bronchiectasis.

Lung compliance measurement in mice

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2008
to the editor: I read the article by Martin et al. ([1][1]) in the September 2007 issue of AJP-Lung . The authors presented interesting observations of increased lung compliance in TIMP-3 null mice during a septic insult.
