Mechanical Ventilation to Minimize Progression of Lung Injury in Acute Respiratory Failure.

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2017
Mechanical ventilation is used to sustain life in patients with acute respiratory failure. A major concern in mechanically ventilated patients is the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury, which is partially prevented by lung-protective ventilation ...

Lung Volumes

1975
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, 1959
Excerpt Tobacco smoking has long been suspected as an etiologic factor in respiratory symptoms and chronic bronchopulmonary disease, largely on the basis of clinical impression.

Lung Volume Reduction Surgery

2014
Emphysema is a chronic progressive condition of the lung characterized by an abnormal, permanent enlargement of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles accompanied by destruction of their walls, but without fibrosis. It is characterized by permanent impairment of the pulmonary terminal airway, hyperinflation of the parenchyma, and loss of elastic

Update on lung volume reduction

Journal of Surgical Research, 2004
Lung-volume reduction surgery was a forgotten chapter in the history of thoracic surgery until it was reincarnated in a new form in 1994. The first report of 20 patients presented startlingly good results with minimal morbidity and mortality and interest in the procedure rapidly disseminated among the thoracic surgical community [1].

Lung volume for initiation of phonation

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1965
The percent of vital capacity at which phonation is normally initiated was investigated. Thirty normal young male and thirty normal young female adults breathed oxygen in a closed circuit respirometer in a standing position. Vital capacity, expiratory reserve, tidal volume for breathing, and phonation volume were determined for each subject.
