However, if we include other injuries (hip, shoulder, face, etc.), as is possible in this study, the causal route is most likely that the increase in falls is caused by early truncal instability, autonomic dysfunction, and slow reaction time that predates the development of symptoms severe enough to be categorized as PD.

  • However the mechanisms of lung dysfunction following repeated exposures to the barn air are still largely unknown. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The authors conducted the current study to evaluate whether propofol prevents diaphragmatic dysfunction induced by septic peritonitis. (asahq.org)
  • Pretreatment with propofol attenuated diaphragmatic dysfunction induced by septic peritonitis in hamsters assessed by contractile profiles and endurance capacity. (asahq.org)
  • Although the precise mechanism underlying infection-induced impairment of contractile profile and endurance capacity in the respiratory muscle remains to be elucidated, many mediators are thought to contribut to the pathogenesis of diaphragmatic dysfunction. (asahq.org)
  • Pes helps determine what fraction of Paw is applied to overcome lung and chest wall elastance. (atsjournals.org)
  • The responders had been ventilated for a shorter time, had less hemodynamic impairment, and lower lung and chest wall elastance. (osrcpnw.org)
  • Noninvasive ventilation in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema: systematic review and meta-analysis. (pneumon.org)
  • Early descriptions of barotrauma refer to rupture of the lung after forceful exhalation against a closed glottis-for example, pulmonary injury after a deep-sea dive (eg, breath-holding while pearl diving). (medscape.com)
  • Oorspronkelijk werd het ontstaan van BPD toegeschreven aan schade van immatuur longweefsel door barotrauma en zuurstoftoxiciteit. (richtlijnendatabase.nl)
  • The application of CPAP (P high) for a prolonged time (T high) maintains adequate lung volume and alveolar recruitment. (uihc.org)
  • In conclusion, the protocol proposed by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network, lacking solid physiologic basis, frequently fails to induce alveolar recruitment and may increase the risk of alveolar overinflation. (atsjournals.org)
  • Although the preoperative pulmonary scintigraphy showed predominant right lung perfusion (79.8% vs. 20.2%), the EIT documented the postoperative re-establishment of between the lungs (demonstrating the adequate functioning of vascular anastomoses), the diversion of to the graft and similar global Qs/Qt (17%) and Vd/Vt (29%) between native and graft lung.

  • This concept has expanded to other areas of acute adult ventilation and is recommended for pediatric ventilation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Recent consensus guidance recommends the lung-protective strategy also be applied in pediatric acute lung injury [ 6 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

  • However, nitrite-induced methemoglobinemia, which avidly binds cyanide, decreases oxygen-carrying capacity that is already reduced by the presence of carboxyhemoglobin (inhalation of carbon monoxide in smoke). (asahq.org)
