Sentence examples for more ventral lung from inspiring English sources
Visual inspection indicates a shift of tidal volume distribution to more ventral lung areas at the start of mechanical ventilation as compared to spontaneous breathing.
We found that the FGF10 level was lower while the diffusion of FGF10 was more rapid in the ventral lung, indicating that the second scenario is more plausible.
After recovery ventral lung regions showed more rapid filling and emptying, whilst dorsal regions filled more slowly and remained inflated for longer time periods.
In the group with lung disorders, for each PEEP step there was less increase of tidal impedance in the ventral lung regions and more decrease in tidal impedance in the dorsal regions; total positive impedance change was below 50% for each PEEP step.
The portal vein was seen at more intercostal spaces than the caudal vena cava because of a more ventral position and less superimposition of the lungs.
The center of ventilation index could indicate a more ventral distribution in patients with hyperinflation of the independent lungs.
In addition, we have shown that the center of gravity decreased during the decremental PEEP trial, which means that tidal impedance variation decreased more at the dorsal lung region and decreased less, or even increased, at the ventral lung region after PEEP was lowered.
The impedance shift from the dorsal to ventral lung region during the decremental PEEP steps was due to the onset of more collapse at the dorsal site than at the ventral site at the PEEP levels applied, as shown by the individual impedance changes in the different ROIs.
Regional compliance was reduced in ventral lung layer, and it improved in middle-dorsal lung layers, during both PEEPEIT and PEEPEIT+2 phases compared with PEEPARDSnet.
Percentages of gross lung lesions was calculated as an average of the percentages of the dorsal and ventral lung surface area showing tissue consolidation.
Tidal hyperaeration increased from dorsal to ventral lung zones, as well as from apex to base.
