The outcome of cardiopulmonary arrest, as measured by survival rate and cerebral performance category (CPC), is worse when the quality of CPR is suboptimal in some way, such as insufficient depth of chest compression or an excessive number of ventilations.
Contrast flow rate of at least 3 ml/s is associated with lower frequency of insufficient contrast enhancement during chest CT [19].
Insufficient expansion of the chest may lead to atelectasis, further reducing oxygenation of the blood.
Assessing the PaO2/FIO2 ratio and chest radiograph may be insufficient to monitor ARDS, since both are treatment-dependent, for instance with higher PaO2/FIO2 ratios and more aerated chest radiographs with higher PEEP.
Minimally invasive approaches to lobectomy have reduced morbidity compared with thoracotomy for early stage lung cancer, but there is insufficient evidence regarding the feasibility of hybrid thoracoscopic lobectomy chest wall resection.
After 4 days treatment, the data of MVCT showed 0.5 cm for PTV was insufficient for some parts of body, such as shoulder, chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
Unfortunately, the efficacy of lung cancer screening using chest X-ray and sputum cytology is insufficient (Fontana et al, 1986; Marcus et al, 2000a, 2006b; Sagawa et al, 2003a).
In a young and fit patient with a mediastinal mass and extensive anterior chest wall invasion, purely structural solutions were deemed insufficient.
Despite the new release of CPR guidelines, there was insufficient evidence for or against a specific hand position for manual chest compression in adults.
It was found that the chest distress observed in elderly patients with AF resulted from insufficient coronary blood supply due to a low DBP instead of from occult CAD.
