Exponential analysis of lobar pressure-volume characteristics.
In 19 excised left human lungs, seven of which were emphysema-free, lobar pressure-volume (P-V) characteristics were analysed by fitting to the P-V data an exponential of the form V=A-Be-KPL (where V is the volume at a transpulmonary pressure (PL), A is the theoretical lung volume at infinite PL, B is the difference between A and the intercept of the fitted exponential on the volume axis and K ...
متن کاملLobar pressure-volume characteristics of excised human lungs.
The pressure-volume (P-V) characteristics were investigated in 14 excised left human lungs and their individual lobes. Comparison of the upper and lower lobar P-V curves of the emphysema-free and emphysematous lungs showed no significant difference when plotted as per cent lobar volume at a transpulmonary pressure (PL) of 30 cm H2O (V30). However, when in the emphysematous lungs the more severe...
متن کاملInfluence of lung volume on pulmonary microvascular pressure-volume characteristics.
The pressure-volume (P-V) characteristics of the lung microcirculation are important determinants of the pattern of pulmonary perfusion and of red and white cell transit times. Using diffuse light scattering, we measured capillary P-V loops in seven excised perfused dog lobes at four lung volumes, from functional residual capacity (FRC) to total lung capacity (TLC), over a wide range of vascula...
متن کاملVolume-Pressure Analysis of Reflex Changes
Mental arithmetic stress is known to cause forearm arterial dilation, but the venous responses, including possible changes in the volume-pressure relation, have not been defined. Hence, 10 apparently normal subjects, eight men and two women, mean age 46±9 years, were studied before and during mental arithmetic stress. Changes in forearm venous volume were estimated with 99mTc blood pool scintig...
متن کاملPsychrometric Pressure-Volume Analysis of Osmoregulation
Osmotic and turgor adjustment in roots, shoots, and whole sporophytes of a NaCI-tolerant mutant and a NaCI-sensitive wildtype strain of the fern Ceratopteris richardii Brongn. were charactenzed following exposure to 60 millimolar NaCI, using a psychrometric approach to pressure-volume analysis. Water potential components of whole plants and shoots at full or ambient hydration were similar betwe...
