LUNG VOLUME IN THE NEWBORN INFANT
Pediatrics, 1962The plethysmographic technique of Du-Bois and associates has been modified for use in newborn infants and found suitable for the measurement of lung volume. Of 37 normal infants studied with this method, most achieved full functional residual capacity during the first few minutes of life.

Static Lung Volumes in Singers
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1973It has long been assumed that the superior vocal ability of the trained professional singer arose from a higher than average breathing capacity and consequent above-normal ventilatory efficiency. However, until now, it has not been clear whether this presumed superior pulmonary capacity and breathing efficiency arose from training, from heredity, or ...

Lung volumes in exacerbations of asthma
The American Journal of Medicine, 1966Abstract Lung volumes and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ) were measured serially in thirty patients during recovery from episodes of severe asthma. Abnormalities of lung volumes were present in all patients at some stage during the course of the illness.

Lung deformations at minimal volume
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1980Minimal volume (MV, gas plus tissue volume at zero transpulmonary pressure) was determined in excised dog lobes after inflation with air and with saline. MV was significantly greater in saline-filled lobes than air-filled lobes. Air inflation was performed with the lobe supported in two different ways, which were chosen to produce different ...

Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is a viable option for a select group of emphysema patients. Effective preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation and careful patient selection criteria promote favorable outcomes. Effective perioperative pain management and early extubation are significant factors that minimize postoperative complications and lead to ...

Sound transmission in the lung as a function of lung volume
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2002We were interested in how the transmission of sound through the lung was affected by varying air content in intact humans as a method of monitoring tissue properties noninvasively. To study this, we developed a method of measuring transthoracic sound transit time accurately.

Lung Volumes in Polynesian Children
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1987Polynesian (Maori and Pacific Island) children account for approximately one quarter of the children in New Zealand, but good data for lung function in this group are not available. In this review, we report lung volume measurements in 571 healthy children 5 to 13 yr of age: 270 Polynesians (139 boys and 131 girls) and 301 Europeans (177 boys and 124 ...

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of the concepts related to lung volumes. The measurement of the residual lung volume is necessary for measuring the pulmonary transfer factor by the single-breath carbon monoxide method and for obtaining total lung capacity whereby the emphysema pattern of impaired diffusion can be distinguished from

LUNG VOLUME IN SMOKERS AND NONSMOKERS
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1959Excerpt Tobacco smoking has long been suspected as an etiologic factor in respiratory symptoms and chronic bronchopulmonary disease, largely on the basis of clinical impression.
