Reference Values for Japanese Children’s Respiratory Resistance Using the LMS Method
Background:: The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is useful for studying pulmonary function in children, as well as in school children with asthma. However, the standard values for respiratory resistance (Rrs) in Asian school children remain unknown ...

Post-Operative Respiratory Resistance [PDF]
Respiratory resistance was studied pre-operatively and post-operatively in a group of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Respiratory resistance was shown to be markedly increased post-operatively in patients with chronic bronchitis and slightly increased in nonbronchitic patients.

Heliox reduces respiratory system resistance in respiratory syncytial virus induced respiratory failure [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease is characterised by narrowing of the airways resulting in increased airway resistance, air-trapping and respiratory acidosis. These problems might be overcome using helium-oxygen gas mixture.

Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review [PDF]
Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these ...
