There are many exercises that make your lungs work more efficiently, especially when you are ageing or smoke and live in a ...

Background: In anesthetized patients undergoing surgery, the role of lung-protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs ...

We investigated the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and tidal volume (V T) on lung aeration, pulmonary mechanics, and the distribution of ventilation immediately after birth ...

Ventilation with Lower Tidal Volumes as Compared with Traditional Tidal Volumes for Acute Lung Injury Published September 14, 2000 N Engl J Med 2000;343: 812 - 814 DOI: 10.1056/NEJM200009143431113 ...

March 5, 2004 — Overweight and obese patients with acute lung injury benefit from low tidal volumes similar to those used in patients of normal weight, according to the results of a secondary ...

Protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Previous studies suggest that positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) promotes aeration of the preterm lung. The role of tidal volume has been less clear. We aimed to study the effects of ...

Lung volumes and exercise Tidal volume is the amount of air breathed in with each normal breath. The average tidal volume is 0.5 litres (500 ml).

Excessive volume and pressure, with correspondingly high transpulmonary pressure (the difference in pressure between the airway and the pleural space), contribute to ventilator-induced lung injury.

Gender, height and weight may play a role in the incidence and risk factors involved in patients receiving large tidal volumes, according to a study published in BMC Anesthesiology 2011.
