Assistance to Ventilation in Spontaneously Breathing Subjects
In five supine normal subjects breathing spontaneously, we studied the effects of high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO), which was achieved by oscillating the pressure in an air-filled cuff wrapped around the lower thorax. Oscillations of 3.5 and 8 Hz (in randomized order) were applied for 15 minutes each at both maximal (mean of 90 to 102cm H,O) and half-maximal peak tolerable cuff pre...
متن کاملAdaptation of pulmonary receptors in the spontaneously breathing anaesthetized rat.
It has been suggested that species with high breathing frequencies have pulmonary stretch receptors which adapt more rapidly than species with low breathing frequencies. This has proved not to be so. Our hypothesis is that this theory is in fact correct if modified so that overall rate of adaptation of afferent vagal activity, i.e. the sum of stretch and rapidly adapting receptors, is considere...
متن کاملLung Function and Breathing Pattern in Subjects Developing High Altitude Pulmonary Edema
INTRODUCTION The purpose of the study was to comprehensively evaluate physiologic changes associated with development of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). We tested whether changes in pulmonary function and breathing pattern would herald clinically overt HAPE at an early stage. METHODS In 18 mountaineers, spirometry, diffusing capacity, nitrogen washout, nocturnal ventilation and pulse ox...
متن کاملPulmonary function in ulcerative colitis
Abstract Background: Pulmonary involvement in ulcerative colitis (UC) is thought to be rare. There is not a definite document about the question that "Is the lung a target organ in inflammatory bowel disease?" The aim of the present study is to compare lung function between cases with UC and healthy controls. This study will also be of interest about searching the outbreak of pulmonary functio...
متن کاملLung hyperinflation stimulates the release of inflammatory mediators in spontaneously breathing subjects.
Lung hyperinflation up to vital capacity is used to re-expand collapsed lung areas and to improve gas exchange during general anesthesia. However, it may induce inflammation in normal lungs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a lung hyperinflation maneuver (LHM) on plasma cytokine release in 10 healthy subjects (age: 26.1 +/- 1.2 years, BMI: 23.8 +/- 3.6 kg/m(2)). LHM wa...
