Four studies reported on weaning duration, however we were unable to combined the study data because of differences in how the studies presented their data. [cochrane.org]
Adequate chest rise is present with each ventilation, and the patient's oxygen saturation reads 96%. [quizlet.com]
Discussion The present study demonstrates that NHF may improve breathing patterns, decrease the work of breathing (RSBI), and decrease pCO 2 levels in patients with stable hypercapnic COPD. [dovepress.com]

Now, that’s a far cry from the previous 20/85 observations! Not only that, I noticed that now my breaths were no longer shallow and short but deeper and much longer of course. [breathing.com]

In addition, many individuals with sleep apnea experience a dry throat in the morning after waking from sleep, which may be due to excessive snoring. There are two types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. [opentextbc.ca]

Abnormal Breathing
scleroderma, collagen vascular disorders) Abnormal Breathing Patterns Obstructed breathing: In the presence of airway obstruction, the work of breathing is minimized by maintaining a slow rate and increased tidal volume. [depts.washington.edu]
Crackles are abnormal breath sounds that are produced with the presence of moisture or mucus in the small airways or by the opening of peripheral airways or collapsed alveoli. An adult patient is intubated after being pulseless for several minutes. [brainscape.com]
Workup
The ratio of dead-space to tidal-gas volume can be calculated on the basis of the difference between CO 2 in arterial blood and in exhaled gas (see Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]

These should be considered when defining outcome measures in clinical trials and treatment strategies in DMD. [erj.ersjournals.com]
Explain how spirometry test results can be used to diagnose respiratory diseases or determine the effectiveness of disease treatment. [opentextbc.ca]
Shallow respiration treatment Since hyperventilation causes chest breathing, the solution is simple: normalization of breathing. [normalbreathing.com]
Prognosis
A cut-off of 5% which is used in some newer ventilators may circumvent this problem Prognosis 60-75% of patients with COPD and acute respiratory failure are successfully weaned however 1 year survival is only 32-50%. [aic.cuhk.edu.hk]
Etiology
Hypertension can be an etiologic factor for heart failure. Diuretics are useful in controlling water retention that can lead to fluid accumulation and narrowing in airways. (u) D. See explanation A. [brainscape.com]
Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology - primary pathophysiological change in lung mechanics is airflow obstruction leading to expiratory flow limitation. [aic.cuhk.edu.hk]
The weaning process begins after partial or complete resolution of the underlying pathophysiology precipitating respiratory failure and ends with weaning success (successful extubation in intubated patients or permanent withdrawal of ventilatory support [cochrane.org]
Prevention
When lung inflation is prevented, the reflex allows inspiratory time to be lengthened, helping to preserve tidal volume. [britannica.com]
Modern types heat both the water bath and patient hose to prevent rainout. [anaesthesia.med.usyd.edu.au]
Neither drug prevents accumulation of secretions. (c) C. Racemic epinephrine stimulates the alpha-receptors. (u) D. The desired effect is an alpha-response to prevent mucosal edema. [brainscape.com]
As a consequence, vasoconstriction of arterioles supplying this area occurs, reducing blood flow and therefore preventing wasted perfusion into poorly oxygenated alveoli Conversely, if alveolar PO2 is high, vasodilation will occur delivering more deoxygenated [fastbleep.com]
