CORRELATION OF RESPIRATOR DIAL “COMPLIANCE” WITH MEASURED LUNG COMPLIANCE [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1977 In clinical practice, lung compliance is often inferred from pressure and volume readings on the respirator dials. These estimates differ from measured lung compliance (CL) in that both pressure and volume are diminished by gas compression, flexing of the tubing and any leaks.

Comparison of lung aeration loss in open abdominal oncologic surgeries after ventilation with electrical impedance tomography-guided PEEP versus conventional PEEP: a pilot feasibility study [PDF]
Korean Journal of AnesthesiologyBackground Existing literature lacks high-quality evidence regarding the ideal intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to minimize postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). We hypothesized that applying individualized PEEP derived from

Prognostic value of pulmonary dead space in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]
, 2011 A study published in the previous issue of Critical Care demonstrates that measurement of the pulmonary dead-space fraction is superior to hypoxemia as an indicator of a favorable physiologic response to prone positioning in patients with severe acute ...

Cholesterol-sensing liver X receptors stimulate Th2-driven allergic eosinophilic asthma in mice [PDF]
, 2016 Introduction: Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that function as cholesterol sensors and regulate cholesterol homeostasis. High cholesterol has been recognized as a risk factor in asthma; however, the mechanism of this linkage is not known.
