Early mobilization and exercise in elderly patients after coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
, 2015 Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. During the postoperative period, the prolonged bed rest increases the possible occurrence of systemic complications, resulting from immobilization.

Peak Expiratory Flow Rates in Healthy Nigerian Children [PDF]
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2003 Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured in 1023 urban Nigerian children aged 6-12 years, using a portable peak flow meter. The mean PEFR values were 213.3 +/- 47.3 and 211.0 +/- 45.9 l/min for males and females, respectively (mean PEFR for study population was 212.6 +/- 46.6 l/min).

Effect of external PEEP in patients under controlled mechanical ventilation with an auto-PEEP of 5 cmH2O or higher. [PDF]
, 2016 In some patients with auto-positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP), application of PEEP lower than auto-PEEP maintains a constant total PEEP, therefore reducing the inspiratory threshold load without detrimental cardiovascular or respiratory effects.

Randomized crossover comparison of proportional assist ventilation and patient-triggered ventilation in extremely low birth weight infants with evolving chronic lung disease [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Refinement of ventilatory techniques remains a challenge given the persistence of chronic lung disease of preterm infants. Objective: To test the hypothesis that proportional assist ventilation ( PAV) will allow to lower the ventilator ...

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

No effect of arm exercise on diaphragmatic fatigue or ventilatory constraint in Paralympic athletes with cervical spinal cord injury [PDF]
, 2010 Cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) results in a decrease in the capacity of the lungs and chest wall for pressure, volume, and airflow generation. We asked whether such impairments might increase the potential for exercise-induced diaphragmatic fatigue ...

Jurnal Ners, 2017 Introduction: Tuberculosis bacterial can cause fibrosis tissue in lung. Fibrosis decrease elasticity and compliance of lung as a result, there will be air ventilation and oxygenation disorder, thus it will decrease peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).
