Lung ultrasound in acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008-02-01)
Purpose of reviewLung ultrasound at the bedside can provide accurate information on lung status in critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.Recent findingsLung ultrasound can replace bedside chest ...
A lung computed tomographic assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure-induced lung overdistension
(1998-12-01)
The aim of this study was to assess positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced lung overdistension and alveolar recruitment in six patients with acute lung injury (ALI) using a computed tomographic (CT) scan method. ...
Histologic and functional evaluation of lungs reconditioned by ex vivo lung perfusion
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INCNEW YORK, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Only about 15% of donor lungs are considered suitable for transplantation (LTx). Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been developed as a method to reassess and repair damaged lungs. We report our experience with ...
Animated solid model of the lung constructed from unsynchronized MR sequential images
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2009)
This work discusses a 4D lung reconstruction method from unsynchronized MR sequential images. The lung, differently from the heart, does not have its own muscles, turning impossible to see its real movements. The visualization ...
The feasibility and effectiveness of thoracoscopic transdiaphragmatic approach for lung biopsy in rabbits. A randomized study
(2020-01-01)
Purpose: To assess the feasibility of thoracoscopic transdiaphragmatic approach for biopsy of all lung lobes and to determine the optimal intercostal space (ICS) for biopsy of each lung lobe. Methods: Ten rabbits were ...
Comparison of Celsior and Perfadex lung preservation solutions in rat lungs subjected to 6 and 12 hours of ischemia using an ex-vivo lung perfusion system
(HOSPITAL CLINICAS, UNIV SAO PAULOSAO PAULO, 2012)
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the performance of lungs that were preserved with different solutions (Celsior, Perfadex or saline) in an ex vivo rat lung perfusion system. METHODS: Sixty Wistar rats were anesthetized, ...
Effects of Positive End-expiratory Pressure Titration and Recruitment Maneuver on Lung Inflammation and Hyperinflation in Experimental Acid Aspiration-induced Lung Injury
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINSPHILADELPHIA, 2012)
Background: In acute lung injury positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuver are proposed to optimize arterial oxygenation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of such a strategy on lung ...
