The average breathing rate is 12 breaths per minute. Tidal volume (TV) is the amount of air breathed in with each normal breath. The average tidal volume is 0.5 litres (500 ml). Minute ventilation ...

Tidal volume is the amount of air breathed in with each normal breath. The average tidal volume is 0.5 litres (500 ml). Inspiratory reserve volume is the maximum amount of additional air that can ...

in combination with contralateral standard lung volume reduction. All patients were extubated within hours after surgery. Nine patients underwent reoperation: 7 patients (3.5%) for air leak ...

Race-neutral equations for assessing lung function appeared to catch more true-abnormal findings for Black patients than did ...

On the more invasive end of the spectrum are lung transplantation and lung volume reduction surgery. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) is a clinically validated alternative for severe ...

Adding two weeks of continuous positive airway pressure for preterm infants in the hospital substantially improves lung ...

Results of prior lung function testing (spirometry, lung volumes, DLCO, ct.). Despite our best efforts to obtain all relevant medical records before your appointment, we may be missing some key ...

A prospective cohort study design was used to assess the initial 200 patients undergoing bilateral LVRS since the inception of our program. Operative dates ranged from 1993 through 1998. The study ...

an extended two weeks of treatment with CPAP beyond usual care resulted in significantly larger lung volumes -- a key indicator of lung growth and development -- when the infants were assessed ...
