The optimal relation between alveolar ventilation and pulmonary circulation (the ventilation-perfusion relation) is an even distribution of adequate ventilation, and a proportionately adequate ...

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared ... Influence of tidal volume on alveolar recruitment: respective role of PEEP and a recruitment maneuver. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001; 163: ...

Flow rates increase, but airway resistance is maintained, allowing a rise in tidal volume with minimal change in elastic work by the respiratory muscles (RMs); the distribution of ventilation is close ...

NPPV can improve alveolar recruitment and ventilation and decrease work of breathing and respiratory muscle fatigue. NPPV has the potential for reducing intubation and thus avoiding associated ...

The influence of acetazolamide on acute mountain sickness was tested in a double-blind study of forty-three volunteers given acetazolamide or placebo, 250 mg every eight hours, for 32 hours before ...
