Sentence examples for incremental recruitment from inspiring English sources

Animals in all three models underwent a PCV, a sigh, and a PEEP incremental recruitment.

Ten patients with acute lung injury or ARDS underwent incremental PEEP recruitment manoeuvres.

In the concluding section, we discuss potential constraints on clinical trials using quantitative imaging, including complexity of trial conduct, impact on subject recruitment, incremental costs and institutional barriers.

Secondary outcomes include change in depressive symptoms at 3 months, change in visual function as measured with the near vision subscale of the VFQ-48 and 7 item NEI-VFQ at 3 and 6 months, change in generic health related quality of life (EQ5D), the costs associated with PST, estimates of incremental cost effectiveness, and recruitment rate estimation.

Lung recruitment procedures by incremental increases of lung volumes and airway pressures may impair hemodynamics and organ blood flow [ 15, 16].

We noted a significant inhibtion of the progression of airways obstruction occurring after the three years of treatment, and thus we speculate that participating in the pulmonary rehabilitation program increased in incremental stages small airways function and/or recruitment.

Since optimal PEEP is defined during a decremental PEEP trial after lung recruitment [ 23] the incremental series was performed in large steps because the main aim was to achieve full recruitment, while during the deflation series PEEP was reduced by smaller steps in order to define the optimal value with higher resolution.

The study has some limitations, the first of which are the lack of lung recruitment maneuvers and the use of incremental as opposed to decremental PEEP titration.

We investigated the ability of EIT for providing a useful tool to detect dynamic changes of regional breath by breath recruitment at the bedside during an incremental and decremental PEEP trial in experimental lung injury.

The number of motor units innervating the EDL muscle was determined by stimulating the motor nerve with stimuli of increasing intensity, resulting in incremental increases in twitch tension due to successive recruitment of motor axons with increasing threshold.

The use of this incremental PEEP maneuver after cardiac surgery improves pulmonary gas exchange, probably via recruitment of otherwise collapsed pulmonary segments.
