Respiratory muscle training improves diaphragm citrate synthase activity and hemodynamic function in rats with heart failure

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Enhanced respiratory muscle strength in patients with heart failure positively alters the clinical trajectory of heart failure. In an experimental model, respiratory muscle training in rats with heart failure has been shown to improve cardiopulmonary function through mechanisms y...

Ventilação mecânica variável

RESUMO Objetivo: Revisar a literatura em relação à utilização da ventilação variável e aos principais desfechos relacionados à sua utilização. Métodos: Busca, seleção e análise de todos os artigos originais sobre ventilação variável, sem restrição quanto ao período de publicação ...

Effects of different levels of end-expiratory pressure on hemodynamic, respiratory mechanics and systemic stress response during laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (1), 2017
Abstract Objective: General anesthesia causes reduction of functional residual capacity. And this decrease can lead to atelectasis and intrapulmonary shunting in the lung. In this study we want to evaluate the effects of 5 and 10 cmH2O PEEP levels on gas exchange, hemodynamic, respiratory mechanics and ...

Maintenance of balance between airway pressure and intracranial pressure in a patient with tracheal stenosis undergoing craniotomy: a case report

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (1), 2017
Abstract Background and objectives: Tracheal stenosis is a rare but a life-threatening condition and anesthesia of a patient with tracheal stenosis is challenging for anesthesiologists. Maintaining stable hemodynamics and ventilation parameters are important issues in neuroanesthesia. Any increase in ai...

Modulation of the ultradian human nasal cycle by sleep stage and body position

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective: The nasal cycle, which is present in a significant number of people, is an ultradian side-to-side rhythm of nasal engorgement associated with cyclic autonomic activity. We studied the nasal cycle during REM/non-REM sleep stages and examined the potentially confounding influence of bo...

Effects of non-invasive ventilation and posture on chest wall volumes and motion in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a case series

ABSTRACT Background The effects of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on the breathing pattern and thoracoabdominal motion of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are unknown. Objectives 1) To analyze the influence of NIV on chest wall volumes and motion assessed by optoelectronic plethysmogra...

Chronic heart failure modifies respiratory mechanics in rats: a randomized controlled trial

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze respiratory mechanics and hemodynamic alterations in an experimental model of chronic heart failure (CHF) following myocardial infarction. Method Twenty-seven male adult Wistar rats were randomized to CHF group (n=12) or Sham group (n=15). Ten weeks after coronary ligation...

Impulse oscillometry system: association with pulmonary function in patients with COPD and healthy subjects

Background: Spirometry is the gold-standard diagnosis test for COPD. However, the impulse oscillometry system (IOS) has proven to be effective for early detection of COPD and little is known about the association between the two techniques in the presence or absence of pulmonary disease. Objective: To in...

Parâmetros clínicos Fonoaudiólogicos da função respiratória a partir do uso de incentivador inspiratório

Distúrb. comun; 28 (2), 2016
Relato dos efeitos do treino com incentivador inspiratório em adultos saudáveis. Método: Estudo observacional, de Coorte e longitudinal de voluntários adultos saudáveis, com o objetivo de verificar a qualidade e a capacidade da dinâmica respiratória e eficiência laríngea a partir do uso do incen...

Efeitos do método isostretching na função respiratória e postura de respiradores bucal

Introdução: A respiração bucal interfe na tonicidade, na postura, na mobilidade e na sensibilidade de órgãos fonoarticulatórios, podendo gerar hábitos orais viciosos. Objetivo: Avaliar a capacidade respiratória e a postura de respiradores bucais submetidos à técnica de isostretchi...
