lung capacities
lung volumes , RV (Abkürzung)

Our lung capacities were measured when we first arrived.

This could be used as treatment for babies born prematurely that have underdeveloped lung capacities.

His heart and lung capacities had weakened.

There are four lung volumes and four lung capacities.

A calf dolphin surfaces from the water twice as much as an adult, because calves have smaller lung capacities than adults.

Interestingly, many with Scheuermann's disease have very large lung capacities and males often have broad, barrel chests.

Lung volumes and lung capacities refer to the volume of air associated with different phases of the respiratory cycle.

Lung volumes are directly measured, whereas lung capacities are inferred from volumes.

East Africans, who dominate in distance running, have larger lung capacities, more slow-twitch muscles, a typically slighter body profile and the ability to process oxygen more efficiently.

The agency says children have smaller lung capacities and higher breathing rates, and thus breathe relatively more radon-contaminated air that is concentrated in a smaller lung area.

All the contestants sang Siegmund's "Wintersturme" music from "Die Walkure," an item wisely chosen to test both the heldentenor's lyrical and lung capacities.

East Africans have a higher percentage of slow-twitch fibers in their muscles, a slightly longer body, longer legs, and larger lung capacities which help in endurance and long-distance running.

Inhaling finely divided crystalline silica dust in very small quantities (OSHA allows 0.1 mg/m) over time can lead to silicosis, bronchitis, or cancer, as the dust becomes lodged in the lungs and continuously irritates them, reducing lung capacities.

This technique is very important in getting parameters of lung volumes nowadays.

Specific changes in lung volumes also occur during pregnancy.

Changes in lung volumes and capacities are generally consistent with the pattern of impairment.

Several factors affect lung volumes; some can be controlled and some cannot.

Lung volumes before and after injection of contrast material were compared using a Wilcoxon test.

A lung capacity consists of two or more lung volumes.

Studies have been done and even though achondroplasic children have reduced lung volumes, the results do not determine respiratory problems.

Lung volumes vary with different people as follows:

The resistance of small airways is believed to have a greater effect on flow at lower lung volumes [ 28].

There are four lung volumes and four lung capacities.

Thus, H 2 O displacement lung volumes were increased by 35% in emphysematous animals over controls.

The helium dilution technique for measuring lung volumes uses a closed, rebreathing circuit.

Though the physical growth in body size is delayed, growth in lung volumes is accelerated.

Compliance is greatest at moderate lung volumes, and much lower at volumes which are very low or very high.

Plain chest radiography shows normal lung volumes, with characteristic patchy unilateral or bilateral consolidation.

Indeed, the role of increased lung volumes in decreasing the compliance of the upper airway has been well described in the literature.

This adaptation is associated with better developmental patterns such as high birth weight, increased lung volumes, increased breathing, and higher resting metabolism.

This type of spirometer gives a more accurate measurement for the components of lung volumes as compared to other conventional spirometers.

Lung volumes and lung capacities refer to the volume of air associated with different phases of the respiratory cycle.

Lung volumes are directly measured, whereas lung capacities are inferred from volumes.

The patient has low lung volumes, atelectasis, loss of compliance, ventilation-perfusion mismatch (increased deadspace), and right to left shunt.

Without knowing the lung volumes at which the tidal flows are measured, the tidal flows have limited value in the evaluation of lung function.

Plain chest x-rays reveal decreased lung volumes, typically with prominent reticular interstitial markings near the lung bases.

EIT can resolve the changes in the distribution of lung volumes between dependent and non-dependent lung regions as ventilator parameters are changed.

Spirometry (the determination of lung volumes in time by breathing into a dedicated machine; response to bronchodilatators and diffusion of carbon monoxide)
