Download or read book Further Clinical and Research Applications of a Computerized Method for Instantaneous and Continuous Measurements of Expired Nitrogen written by Richard A. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research applications of a computerized method for instantaneous and continuous measurements of expired nitrogen are presented. Projects already completed, now in progress and being implemented include: (1) evaluation of intrapulmonary gas distribution in patients with various types of pulmonary disease; (2) definition and classification of nitrogen washout patterns in patients with various types of cardiac disease; (3) study of intrapulmonary distribution of respired gas and pulmonary mechanics during induced pulmonary vascular congestion in the rabbit; (4) investigation of pulmonary mechanics and washout patterns in the rabbit following papain destruction of the lung's parenchymal meshwork; (5) delineation of changes in washout patterns during ventilation with varying tidal volume, respiratory frequency and inspiratory flow rates; (6) definition of newborn infants' nitrogen washout patterns and lung volumes; the defects of intrapulmonary gas distribution encountered in the respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn; and (7) longitudinal study of washout characteristics in a group of patients with chronic bronchitis with particular reference to development of chronic obstructive emphysema.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basis for the on-line study of pulmonary nitrogen washout by hybrid computer is presented. The instrument produces a semilogarithmic plot of nitrogen concentration in expired gas versus cumulative alveolar ventilatory volume. Simultaneous measurements of functional residual capacity and main conducting airway volume are also recorded. Comparison of conventional washout methods and computer technique proved the validity of the computer. Secondly, a new index of intrapulmonary gas distribution is devised. The index (IDI or Inspired Gas Distribution Index) is quite sensitive to any change of the gas distribution in the lung and has a very small physiological variation (1.8 plus or minus 0.2). As one application of this computer in research, the effect of expiratory obstruction in normal subjects is studied. A 5 mm. diameter obstruction does not affect the gas distribution in the supine position, whereas the obstruction has a striking effect on gas distribution when a subject is exercising in the upright position.

Download or read book Capnography written by J. S. Gravenstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years capnography has gained a foothold in the medical field and is fast becoming a standard of care in anaesthesiology and critical care medicine. In addition, newer applications have emerged which have expanded the utility of capnographs in a number of medical disciplines. This new edition of the definitive text on capnography reviews every aspect of this valuable diagnostic technique. An introductory section summarises the basic physiology of carbon dioxide generation and transport in the body. A technical section describes how the instruments work, and a comprehensive clinical section reviews the use of capnography to diagnose a wide range of clinical disorders. Edited by the world experts in the technique, and with over 40 specialist contributors, Capnography, second edition, is the most comprehensive review available on the application of capnography in health care.

Download or read book Guidelines for the Care and Use of Mammals in Neuroscience and Behavioral Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-08-22 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding on the National Research Council's Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, this book deals specifically with mammals in neuroscience and behavioral research laboratories. It offers flexible guidelines for the care of these animals, and guidance on adapting these guidelines to various situations without hindering the research process. Guidelines for the Care and Use of Mammals in Neuroscience and Behavioral Research offers a more in-depth treatment of concerns specific to these disciplines than any previous guide on animal care and use. It treats on such important subjects as: The important role that the researcher and veterinarian play in developing animal protocols. Methods for assessing and ensuring an animal's well-being. General animal-care elements as they apply to neuroscience and behavioral research, and common animal welfare challenges this research can pose. The use of professional judgment and careful interpretation of regulations and guidelines to develop performance standards ensuring animal well-being and high-quality research. Guidelines for the Care and Use of Mammals in Neuroscience and Behavioral Research treats the development and evaluation of animal-use protocols as a decision-making process, not just a decision. To this end, it presents the most current, in-depth information about the best practices for animal care and use, as they pertain to the intricacies of neuroscience and behavioral research.
