Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) is the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration. At FRC, the opposing elastic recoil forces of the lungs and chest wall are in equilibrium and there is no exertion by the diaphragm or other respiratory muscles. FRC is the sum of Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) and Residual Volume (RV) and measures approximately 2400 mL in an 80 kg, average-sized male. It cannot be estimated through spirometry, since it includes the residual volume. In order to measure RV precisely, one would need to perform a test such as nitrogen washout, helium dilution or body plethysmography. A lowered or elevated FRC is often an indication of some form of respiratory disease. For instance, in emphysema, FRC is increased, because the lungs are more compliant and the equilibrium between the inward recoil of the lungs and outward recoil of the chest wall is disturbed. As such, patients with emphysema often have noticeably broader chests due to the relatively ...

Answer: A. Functional residual capacity. Pre-oxygenation is the administration of oxygen to a patient prior to intubation. It helps to extend the safe apnoea time. The safe apnoea time is defined as the duration of time following cessation of breathing/ventilation that elapses until arterial desaturation occurs (SaO2 reaches , 90%). The primary mechanism by which pre-oxygenation works is by denitrogenation of the lungs, however maximal pre-oxygenation is achieved when the alveolar, arterial, venous and tissue compartments are all filled with oxygen. Denitrogenation is achieved using oxygen to wash out the nitrogen contained in the lungs after breathing room air, resulting in a larger alveolar oxygen reservoir.. The functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of gas that remains in the lungs after a normal tidal expiration. It is the sum of the residual volume (RV) and the expiratory reserve volume (ERV). One method of measuring the FRC is the nitrogen washout technique.. The FRC is ...

Objective: To evaluate the influence of chronic heart failure (CHF) on resting lung volumes in patients with COPD, i.e., inspiratory fraction-inspiratory capacity (IC)/TLC-and relative inspiratory reserve-[1 − (end-inspiratory lung volume/TLC)]. Methods: This was a prospective study involving 56 patients with COPD-24 (23 males/1 female) with COPD+CHF and 32 (28 males/4 females) with COPD only-who, after careful clinical stabilization, underwent spirometry (with forced and slow maneuvers) and whole-body plethysmography. Results: Although FEV1, as well as the FEV1/FVC and FEV1/slow vital capacity ratios, were higher in the COPD+CHF group than in the COPD group, all major static volumes-RV, functional residual capacity (FRC), and TLC-were lower in the former group (p , 0.05). There was a greater reduction in FRC than in RV, resulting in the expiratory reserve volume being lower in the COPD+CHF group than in the COPD group. There were relatively proportional reductions in FRC and TLC in the two ...

Obesity is a medical problem of epidemic proportions and is associated with high mortality. Obesity has significant effects on the cardiovascular system, producing structural cardiovascular changes including myocardial hypertrophy, fatty infiltration, and fibrosis; diastolic and systolic dysfunction; changes in pulmonary artery compliance; and increased aortic stiffness - all of which can lead to heart failure. Indeed, evidence suggests that obesity increases the risk for heart disease independent of other known risk factors such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea. Obesity also causes significant changes in pulmonary function, including a decrease in expiratory reserve volume and functional residual capacity and closure of peripheral airways. The exact mechanisms for the development of cardiopulmonary disease are not well understood - the pathophysiology is complex and likely multifactorial, related to altered hemodynamic load, altered ...

To assess the contribution of genetic background to respiratory mechanics, we developed a ventilator unit to measure lung function parameters in the mouse. We studied two commonly used inbred mice strains originating from Mus musculus domesticus (C57BL/6 and C3HeB/FeJ) and a third strain derived from Mus musculus molossinus [Japanese fancy mouse 1 (JF1)]. The ventilator allows for accurate performance of the different breathing manoeuvres required for measuring in- and expiratory reserve capacity, quasi-static and dynamic compliance, and airway resistance. In combination with a mass spectrometer for monitoring gas concentrations, single-breath manoeuvres were performed and He-expirograms obtained, from which dead space ...

Fig. 3.- Relationship between Borg rating of dyspnoea intensity and a) change in end-expiratory lung volume (EELV; as reflected by a decrease in inspiratory capacity (IC)), b) inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), c) exercise time and d) ventilation (VE) during constant-load cycle exercise after salmeterol (•, ----) and placebo (○, - - - -). Data are presented as mean±sem (measured at rest, a standardised time (3.4±0.5 min) during exercise and end-exercise). Arrows adjacent to the respective axes indicate the magnitude and direction of differences between salmeterol and placebo responses at a standardised time during exercise. The dyspnoea/VE and dyspnoea/IC curves shifted towards the right after salmeterol compared to placebo; therefore, subjects could tolerate greater VE and dynamic hyperinflation after salmeterol. Dyspnoea/IRV relationships were unchanged, with dyspnoea increasing rapidly once a critically reduced IRV (▓) was reached. TLC: total lung capacity. *: p,0.05; #: p=0.07 ...

36 The use of external PEEP in the setting of auto-PEEP may be conceptualized by the waterfall over a dam analogy. In this analogy, the presence of dynamic hyperinflation and 10 cmH20 of auto-PEEP is represented in the top panel by the reservoir of water trickling over the dam represented by the solid block. In the middle panel, as long as the external PEEP is less than or equal to the amount of auto-PEEP, the amount of water in the upstream reservoir, representing dynamic hyperinflation, does not increase. However, once the amount of water in the reservoir does increase (bottom panel), dynamic hyperinflation worsens. ...

Ipratropiumbromide (Atrovent ) is an ammonium-containing muscarinic antagonist (i.e. an anticholinergic agent) that conceptually may decrease sputum production with resulting increase in lung volume defined by end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and improved oxygenation. However, its efficacy on these outcomes is unclear that warrants further study to rationalise this supportive treatment ...

The 2019 standard also provides additional guidance on the quality assessment for slow VC maneuvers. Specifically, the stability of the preceding tidal breathing is defined as having at least three tidal breaths, with end-expiratory lung volume within 15% of the tidal volume. For some patients this stable tidal breathing is hard to achieve. In their case the test should be allowed to go ahead after 10 tidal breaths, but the parameter IC should not be reported, as it is no longer reliable. ...

Results: Mg use led to significant changes in functional respiratory capacity (-0.48 l, 95%CI: -0.96, -0.01), inspiratory capacity (0.21 l, 95%CI: 0.04, 0.37), maximal inspiratory pressure (10 cmH2O, 95%CI: 1.6, 18.4), and maximal expiratory capacity (10.7 cmH2O, 95%CI: 0.20, 21.2). The treatment was also associated with a marginally significant decrease in residual volume (-0.47 L, 95%CI: -0.96, 0.02, p=0.06 ...

TY - PAT. T1 - Identification of dynamic hyperinflation using a combination of expiratory flow and respiratory carbon dioxide signals.. AU - Rees, Stephen E.. AU - Larraza, S. AU - Karbing, Dan S.. PY - 2017/1/5. Y1 - 2017/1/5. N2 - The present invention relates to a method for identification of an increase in the gas volume of the lung caused by the inability of a patient to expire completely, known as dynamic hyperinflation or gas trapping. The method applies analysis of a patient´s pattern of expiratory flow, along with the pattern of respiratory, e.g. expiratory, carbon dioxide level, for example the capnography signal. Analysis of these signals enables identification of dynamic hyperventilation, along with identification of change in the degree of dynamic hyperinflation indicating improvement or worsening in the patient state..

BACKGROUND: The multiple-breath washout (MBW) is able to provide information about the distribution of ventilation-to-volume (v/V) ratios in the lungs. However, the classical, all-parallel model may return skewed results due to the mixing effect of a common dead space. The aim of this work is to examine whether a novel mathematical model and algorithm is able to estimate v/V of a physical model, and to compare its results with those of the classical model. The novel model takes into account a dead space in series with the parallel ventilated compartments, allows for variable tidal volume (VT) and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), and does not require a ideal step change of the inert gas concentration ...
