Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary atelectasis: a pathogenic perioperative entity.
TL;DR: The authors discuss the effects and implications of atelectasis in the perioperative period and illustrate how preventive measures may impact outcome and the impact of atElectasis and its prevention in acute lung injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of neuromuscular blocking agents on gas exchange in patients presenting with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Marc Gainnier,Antoine Roch,Jean-Marie Forel,Xavier Thirion,Jean-Michel Arnal,Stéphane Donati,Laurent Papazian +6 more
TL;DR: Use of NMBA during a 48-hr period in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome is associated with a sustained improvement in oxygenation and a significant effect of the NMBA on the course of Pao2/Fio2 ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative functional residual capacity.
TL;DR: Both FRC and vital capacity are reduced following abdominal and thoracic surgery in a predictable pattern and there is no real difference among the various methods of active lung expansion in terms of the speed of restoration of lung function, or in preventing postoperative atelectasis/pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory system mechanics in sedated, paralyzed, morbidly obese patients.
Paolo Pelosi,M. Croci,I Ravagnan,M. Cerisara,Pierluigi Vicardi,Alfredo Lissoni,Luciano Gattinoni +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that obese subjects during sedation and paralysis are characterized by hypoxemia and marked alterations of the mechanical properties of the respiratory system, largely explained by a reduction in lung volume due to the excessive unopposed IAP.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of anesthesia and muscle paralysis on the respiratory system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that rapid collapse of alveoli on induction of anesthesia and more widespread closure of airways seem to explain the oxygenation impairment and may also contribute to postoperative pulmonary infection.
