Objective Upper airway distention during mask ventilation could reduce gas volumes entering the lung compared with ventilation via an endotracheal tube. Therefore, respiratory tract volumes were ...

Dynamic lung volumes (forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 0·5 second and in 1·0 second), static lung volumes (total lung capacity, functional residual capacity, residual volume), and ...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents a severe pulmonary condition in which widespread alveolar inflammation and pulmonary oedema severely compromise gas exchange.

Department of Anesthesiology, Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Nanning, Guangxi, China; Introduction: Neonatal thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia requires one-lung ventilation (OLV), which ...

Knowing that a high tidal volume (VT; 10–15 mL/kg of predicted body weight) can maintain better gas exchange and intraoperative mechanics, it has conventionally been recommended for intraoperative ...

The heart rate was <100 beats per minute before 31 interventions and rose to >100 beats per minute after 14/31 of these. Conclusions Ventilation correction interventions improve tidal volume delivery ...

In plethysmography experiments, two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare raw and normalized tidal volume, respiratory frequency, and minute ventilation across time and treatment (saline vs ...

Background: The effects of breathing pattern and inspired air conditions on the volume and content of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) were investigated. Methods: Total exhaled water (TEW), EBC volume, ...

Alveolar minute volume decreased (p < .01) with increasing PEEP ( Table 2), which is explained by a reduced amplitude of airway pressure change during mechanical ventilation.
