Adults with well‐healed burn injuries have lower pulmonary function values decades after injury

Physiological Reports, 2022
Sub‐acute (e.g., inhalation injury) and/or acute insults sustained during a severe burn injury impairs pulmonary function. However, previous work has not fully characterized pulmonary function in adults with well‐healed burn injuries decades after an ...

Lung Function before and Two Days after Open-Heart Surgery

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2012
Reduced lung volumes and atelectasis are common after open-heart surgery, and pronounced restrictive lung volume impairment has been found. The aim of this study was to investigate factors influencing lung volumes on the second postoperative day.

Reference values for lung function tests: I. Static volumes [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
Static lung volume (LV) measurements have a number of clinical and research applications; however, no previous studies have provided reference values for such tests using a healthy sample of the adult Brazilian population.

Normal Expiratory Flow Rate and Lung Volumes in Patients with Combined Emphysema and Interstitial Lung Disease: A Case Series and Literature Review

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2011
Pulmonary function tests in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis characteristically show a restrictive pattern including small lung volumes and increased expiratory flow rates resulting from a reduction in pulmonary compliance due to diffuse ...

Study of computerized spirometric parameters of traffic police personnel of Saurashtra region, Gujarat, India

Lung India, 2015
Background and Objectives: Air pollution due to road traffic is a serious health hazard and air quality crisis in cities is mainly due to vehicular emission. Thus the persons who are continuously exposed are at an increased risk.

Changes in ventilation distribution in children with neuromuscular disease using the insufflator/exsufflator technique: an observational study

Scientific Reports, 2022
Patients with neuromuscular disease often suffer from weak and ineffective cough resulting in mucus retention and increased risk for chest infections. Different airway clearance techniques have been proposed, one of them being the insufflator/exsufflator

Very low tidal volume ventilation with associated hypercapnia--effects on lung injury in a model for acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Ventilation using low tidal volumes with permission of hypercapnia is recommended to protect the lung in acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, the most lung protective tidal volume in association with hypercapnia is unknown.
