  1. 1. Ventilation distribution in the lung periphery measured by inert gas washout : influence of increased gravity, anti-G suit pressure, body posture, and breathing pattern

    Författare :Mikael Grönkvist; Göran Hedenstierna; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :acceleration; anti-G suit; body posture; cdi; dcdi; human centrifuge; He; hypergravuty; lung; multiple-breath washout; single-breath washout; SF 6; standing; supune; trapped gas; ventilation distribution; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The lung is highly sensitive to forces of gravity and acceleration, and to surrounding pressures. This thesis aimed to assess the effects on ventilation distribution in peripheral lung units when changing the direction or magnitude of the gravitational vector and when compressing the lower body half with an anti-G suit (AGS).

  3. 2. Peripheral airway function in asthma and cystic fibrosis. Measurements using inert gas washout methods

    Författare :Henrik Ljungberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acinar; adults; airway hyperresponsiveness; asthma; children; conductive; functional residual capacity; gas trapping; inert gas washout; infants; peripheral airways; plethysmography; respiratory function tests; ventilation inhomogeneity;

    Sammanfattning : It is increasingly recognised that asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently involves the peripheral airways. Characteristic features of abnormal peripheral airway function are uneven ventilation distribution and increased gas trapping. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effects of gravity and posture on the human lung

    Författare :Malin Rohdin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acceleration; cardiac output; cardiogenic oscillations; closing volume; gas exchange; heart I-ate; human centrifuge; hypergravity; lung diffusing capacity; prone posture; pulmonary-capillary blood volume; rebreathing; single-breath washout; supine;

    Sammanfattning : The presence of the gravitational force at the surface of Earth affects all of the organ systems in landliving creatures. The function of the lung is particularly susceptible to changes in the direction and magnitude of gravity because of the elastic structure of this organ. LÄS MER
