airway resistance

They have a lesser effect on airways resistance but are not free of this side effect.

Another important parameter, which can be calculated with a body plethysmograph is the airway resistance.

Arousals cause return of airway resistance and airflow to near awake values.

This is simply the mathematical inverse of airway resistance.

For example, the measurement of airway resistance helps in assessing the response to bronchodilator therapy.

There are several important determinants of airway resistance including:

Airway resistance can be measured using impulse oscillometry.

"Too much airway resistance," a nurse said.

Depending on the results of these tests, you may be diagnosed with sleep apnea or a similar condition, upper airway resistance syndrome.

Alterations in airway resistance, lung compliance and chest wall compliance influence C.

Due to the elastic nature of the tissue that supports the small airways airway resistance changes with lung volume.

Upper airway resistance syndrome is a clinical variant of sleep apnea that can also cause hypersomnia.

The increased fluid in the lungs leads to increased airway resistance and reduced lung compliance.

Airway resistance is typically increased by bronchospasm and airway secretions.

Airway resistance is not constant.

Most people with a normal distribution of airways resistances will reduce their expired end-tidal nitrogen concentrations to less than 2.5% within seven minutes.

Specific airway resistance is often measured at FRC, in which case:

Oral appliances to protrude the tongue and mandible (jaw) forward are effective in reducing the airway resistance.

Airway resistance increases by about 230% during NREM sleep.

Also called volumic airway resistance.

During this maneuver, airflow is transiently ( 0.5 sec) discontinued, which eliminates the effects of airway resistance.

Increased airways resistance (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, suffocation)

Peak airway pressure varies from breath-to-breath according to changes in the patient's airway resistance and lung compliance.

This makes airway resistance increase and the work of breathing more difficult, causing shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing.

Measured parameters include specific airway resistance which is measured from the phase shift between thorax and nasal flow curves.
