Sentence examples for lung resting from inspiring English sources

Our hypothesis was that, in the absence of potential for lung recruitment, prone position would not result in any change in lung mechanical behaviour and lung resting volume compared to supine position.

The change in the mechanical properties of the lung is usually attributed to lung recruitment with an increase in lung resting volume [3, 9] and to a lower vertical pleural pressure gradient in prone position, with consequent more homogenous distribution of transpulmonary pressure, lung inflation and thus ventilation [5, 6, 10].

Indirect findings are the "fallen lung" sign, corresponding to the collapsed lung resting away from the hilum towards the dependent portion of the hemithorax [34], persistent pneumothorax after chest tube placement and herniation or overdistention of an endotracheal balloon if this is placed at the same level as the tracheal laceration [33].

The determinants of VILI are excessive pressures acting on lung parenchyma (i.e. transpulmonary pressure or stress) and lung deformation over lung resting volume (i.e. tidal volume/functional residual capacity or strain), closely linked to each other by lung intrinsic mechanical properties (i.e. specific lung elastance) [16, 17].

The protective effect of prone position could accordingly be due either to an increase in lung resting volume (i.e. functional residual capacity (FRC)) with a consequent decrease in strain and transpulmonary pressure for the same tidal volume applied or to the prevention of opening and closing of lung units during tidal ventilation (atelectrauma).

One can model the anatomical units of the fibrous skeleton of the lung as being made of extensible elastin and inextensible collagen, which are 'folded' in the lung resting position [ 7].

Several guidelines recommend "lung rest" strategies based on variable ventilatory parameters.

The lung rested on a plexiglass window at the bottom of the chamber with the posterior surface of the lung touching the plexiglass.

Intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi) refers to the increase in the end-expiratory elastic recoil pressure associated with an increase in lung volume above resting lung volume at end expiration consequent to dynamic hyperinflation.

To supplement the painful weekly injections of air into her abdomen, which let her infected lung rest, doctors found her a last-ditch pair of medications: a spray she inhales directly into the lung, and expensive American pills imported by the Russian government and doled out in tiny quantities to outlying hospitals.

According to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) guideline [12], a lung rest setting is recommended after initiation of ECMO.
