The second model was performed by applying three consecutive valsalva maneuvers.
This result demonstrates that the procedure of instillation (successive bolus in right and left lateral positions followed by consecutive recruitment maneuvers) resulted in uniform bilateral surfactant distribution.
Each child was asked to complete three consecutive expiratory maneuvers in the morning and again in the evening on 14 consecutive days during each of the 11 seasonal measurement periods using a hand-held digital lung function monitoring device (AirWatch; iMetrikus Inc., Carlsbad, CA).
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of consecutive vital capacity maneuvers (C-VCMs) to improve oxygenation in patients after cardiac surgery.
By then, the Mayor's circle had already begun to maneuver for a third consecutive term, which is forbidden under an amendment to the City Charter — New York's constitution — that was adopted by popular referendum in 1993, and affirmed, again by referendum, in 1996.
For investigation of the lung's intratidal compliance, 10 consecutive breaths before and after low flow maneuvers were analyzed.
An equally popular alternative is to break down each maneuver into a chain of consecutive events and to represent this sequence of events using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM).
The uniformed practice by Schnogh which supports a continual compression decompression maneuver over 3.5 h daily for five consecutive days could induce an average VR at above half of the swelling in extremities of 647 patients.
To avoid such issues, the use of data subsets shorter than 1 day to perform several consecutive vector calibrations instead of a single one and compensate for maneuver effects would be a possibility.
On the Chicago BPS, colon segments with 100% of the mucosa visualized receive scores of 10, 11, or 12, whereas segments where the mucosa is not 100% visualized after cleaning maneuvers receive scores of 0 or 5. Segment scores for consecutive grades on the Ottawa BPS and Boston BPS are separated by single point no matter if the difference in cleanliness between consecutive grades is small or large.
