Sentence examples for lung unit from inspiring English sources

One recent case, where a British infantryman suffered almost-fatal chest injuries, saw the wounded man finally saved in a specialist lung unit in Germany following involvement by several highly trained medical teams from at least four nations and crash-priority flights by two helicopters and three large US military transport planes.

The increase in functional residual capacity due to the application of PEEP is generated by the recruitment of new lung unit and by the over-distension of already open lung unit, and consequently, the final effect will depend on the balance of these two.

During inflation, if airway pressure exceeds a lung unit's effective TOP, the lung unit will assume a lung unit volume.

Between 1982 and December 2003, 1163 SCLC patients were recorded on the lung unit database.

At an intrinsic PEEP of 12.7 cmH2O, the slow lung unit had an end-expiratory pressure of 15.8 cmH2O, whereas the fast lung unit had an end-expiratory pressure of 10.1 cmH2O.

The model accurately illustrates the fundamental lung mechanics, especially the effect of PEEP on lung unit recruitment.

The predominant mechanism in type I failure is uneven or mismatched ventilation and perfusion (intrapulmonary shunt) in regional lung units.

PEEP recruits atelectatic lung units and improves distribution of ventilation via compensatory interdependence through the network lattice.

This process has the potential to minimise the repeated opening and collapsing of lung units that can cause secondary lung damage during mechanical ventilation [10].

We understand even less about the altered coordination of growth and remodeling events in adaptation to a loss of functioning lung units caused by injury or disease.

An appropriate setting for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) helps stabilize recruitment and reduces the number of lung units subjected to stress focusing and tidal opening and closure.
