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 Anesthesiology
Background 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

The application of chest wall compression in ventilation of acute respiratory distress syndrome patients

Guangxi Yike Daxue xuebao
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Despite lung-protective ventilation strategies serving as the cornerstone of ARDS treatment, some patients still fail to effectively alleviate hypoxemia or ...

The Correlation Between Body Fat Percentage and Peak Expiratory Flow in Children Aged 10-12 Years at SD Negeri 8 Dauh Puri [PDF]

, 2019
Background: The accumulation of fat decreases lung function. Peak expiratory flow is an indicator for assessing pulmonary function and can be used to identify the narrowing or obstruction of the airway. This study aimed to examine the correlation between
