Anesthesia and the Lung 1992

Abstract

Gravity and the lung - lessons from space control of the pulmonary circulation a primer on pulmonary cell biology - lung cells and their function the pulmonary circulation during anaesthesia pulmonary oedema caused by stress failure of capillaries mechanisms of lung injury - an overview hemodynamic determinants of pulmonary oedema and pleural effusions oxygen consumption measurements in artificial ventilation the hypoxic brain severe hypoxia - insights from extreme altitude respiratory control related to altitude and anaesthesia lactic acidosis, type A rib cage contribution to ventilation during anaesthesia oxygen - the breath of life management of the patient with reactive airway disease management of the difficult airway - epidemiology, the ASA algorithm and recognition management of the difficult airway - proper preparation for the awake intubation, fiberoptic and retrograde techniques management of the difficult airway - the anaesthetized patient whose trachea is difficult to intubate, transtracheal jet ventilation, the difficult extubation and jet stylets influence of anaesthetics on pulmonary gas exchange assessment of respiratory mechanics during mechanical ventilation physiologic effects of raised airway pressure pulmonary embolic disease - diagnosis and treatment adult respiratory distress syndrome hemodynamics and therapy in ARDS respiratory mechanics in ARDS patients new modes of ventilatory support septic shock to PEEP or not to PEEP ARDS patients monitoring cardiopulmonary function with dual oximetry ECMO - a view from the East.
