Aortic volume determines global end-diastolic volume measured by transpulmonary thermodilution [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) measured by transpulmonary thermodilution is regarded as indicator of cardiac preload. A bolus of cold saline injected in a central vein travels through the heart and lung, but also the aorta until ...

Estimation of lung growth using computed tomography [PDF]
Anatomical studies suggest that normal lungs grow by rapid alveolar addition until about 2 yrs of age followed by a gradual increase in alveolar dimensions.

Lung stress and strain calculations in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit [PDF]
Background Stress and strain are parameters to describe respiratory mechanics during mechanical ventilation. Calculations of stress require invasive and difficult to perform esophageal pressure measurements.

Air Trapping and the Risk of COPD Exacerbation: Analysis From Prospective KOCOSS Cohort
Background and AimsAir trapping is a predictive index for a decline in lung function and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the role of air trapping in COPD exacerbation has rarely been studied.
