In another peritonitis model performed in sheep, the febrile response resulted in better respiratory function, lower blood lactate concentration and prolonged survival time [ 11].
In general patients with mild COPD have better respiratory function test (FEV1, FEV1/FVC) than patients with moderate COPD, and this association was also indicated through our study [ 20, 21].
Assuming comparable levels of ventilation support, preserving spontaneous breathing during MV is associated with better respiratory function as compared to control ventilation: both a lowered ratio of dead space ventilation to tidal volume and PaCO2.
According to a number of surgeons, the transverse laparotomy offers some advantages compared to the midline laparotomy, such as a less postoperative pain, a smaller alteration of the respiratory function, and better aesthetic results.
The optimal setting of mechanical ventilation (MV) and its impact on respiratory function and ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in ARDS associated with IAH needs to be better clarified.

Yoga respiratory training may improve respiratory function and cardiac autonomic modulation in healthy elderly subjects.
Patients require intensive medical care, with continuous monitoring of their heart and respiratory functions and management of their fluid and electrolyte balances.
Running gives a great boost to cardio-respiratory function and, if performed on a regular basis, there is no reason to discontinue it just because of age.
Weight excess may counterbalance the effect of a better preserved respiratory function in the performance of daily activities such as walking.
