Visit-to-visit FEV1 variation was found to be a mortality risk factor among 9/11 FDNY rescue and recovery workers.

Background: In volume guarantee ventilation with the Dräger Babylog 8000 ventilator, inspiratory and expiratory flows are monitored and the expiratory tidal volume calculated following each inflation.

We aimed to identify the effect of suction pressure and catheter size on change in lung volume during open and closed endotracheal suction. Anesthetized piglets (n = 12) were intubated with a 4.0 ...

This pressure–volume curve, which describes left ventricular compliance, is normally curvilinear. Furthermore, alterations in left ventricular compliance shift the pressure–volume curve.

According to studies, taking your blood pressure medication at night instead of in the morning can provide better blood pressure control at night without compromising daytime blood pressure control ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Both dyspnea and respiratory drive went down with vs. without nasal high-flow therapy in orally intubated patients, according to research presented at the American Thoracic ...

More than a dozen Iranian military officials have been killed in Israeli strikes over the past six days. Hinson says Trump is pursuing a maximum pressure campaign against Iran.

RESULTS: When comparing with groups, the coronavirus disease 2019 group presented statistically significant lower maximal inspiratory pressure values compared with the control group (88.32±16.62 vs.

The measurement of maximum expiratory pressure is also useful, however, for differentiating generalized neuromuscular weakness from specific weakness of the diaphragm or other inspiratory muscles.

The epiphany of common sense came late in an otherwise tedious congressional subcommittee hearing, and from a Democrat, Representative Jim Costa. He gets that Republicans and the administration of ...

The PF9940 PeakAir® Peak Flow Meter is an integral component of asthma management programs. It is suitable for patients of all ages, the PeakAir assists in monitoring the patient’s maximum ...
