چکیده
hyperemia directly after release of the blood pressure cuff. As stated in our article, we did not measure reactive hyperemia but performed our measurements in all groups after 20 min of reperfusion. It is, therefore, unlikely that reactive hyperemia caused the observed differences between groups. We agree that further studies are needed to clarify more the mechanisms of helium preconditioning in human endothelium.

Response of Maximum Inspiratory Pressure and Functional Capacity to Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Device after Valvular Heart Surgery
Background: Pulmonary complications following valvular heart surgery are common and contribute to increased duration of hospital stay, rate of morbidity, and mortality. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the response of maximum inspiratory pressure and functional capacity to Positive End-Expiratory Pressure device in patients who underwent valvular hea...
متن کاملBench study on active exhalation valve performance.
BACKGROUND Ventilator exhalation-valve performance during the expiratory phase has been studied in depth. An active exhalation valve uses servo-control technology that allows gas to be released from the exhalation valve during the inspiratory phase if the patient makes an expiratory effort. We conducted a bench study of active exhalation valve response to expiratory effort during the inspirator...
متن کاملPositive end-expiratory pressure attenuates hemodynamic effects induced by an overload of inspiratory muscles in patients with COPD
BACKGROUND Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using a Threshold® device is commonly used to improve the strength and endurance of inspiratory muscles. However, the effect of IMT, alone or with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), on hemodynamic parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of an overload of inspira...
متن کاملA functional tool to differentiate nasal valve collapse from other causes of nasal obstruction: the FRIED test.
Nasal valve collapse is a dynamic abnormality that is currently diagnosed purely on the basis of clinical features and thus subject to certain interpretation. The aim of this study was to develop a new and reliable functional test to objectively characterize nasal valve collapse. This was an observational prospective study including consecutive patients referred to our center for exploration of...
متن کاملThe differential effects of inspiratory, expiratory, and combined resistive breathing on healthy lung
Combined resistive breathing (CRB) is the hallmark of obstructive airway disease pathophysiology. We have previously shown that severe inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB) induces acute lung injury in healthy rats. The role of expiratory resistance is unknown. The possibility of a load-dependent type of resistive breathing-induced lung injury also remains elusive. Our aim was to investigate th...
