Objective: To determine whether corticosteroids are effective in preventing or treating postextubation stridor and in reducing the need for subsequent reintubation of the trachea in critically ill ...
Men who remained active had higher forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) than the other groups. Smoking was related to lower cardiorespiratory fitness and ...

The most widely used way to assess global respiretory muscle strength is by measuring static maximal inspiratory (Pi max) and static maximal expiratory (Pe max) pressures at the mouth [7]. Normal ...
The other inspiratory muscles contribute little to quiet breathing but are recruited when higher levels of ventilation are required, such as in exercise and obstructive or restrictive lung disease.
Heating and humidification of gas mixtures allow comfortable delivery of flow rates that match or exceed the patient's inspiratory flow rate. Emerging evidence from observational studies suggests that ...
Your VC is the sum of your tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume (the amount of additional air you can breathe in with maximal effort), and expiratory reserve volume (the amount of additional air ...
As the illness moves from the nose to the lungs, the symptoms can change. They may include: A high-pitched “creaking” or whistling sound when breathing in (stridor) These symptoms are often worse at ...
