1. Early Physiotherapy in the Neurointensive Care Unit - Passive Physiotherapy Interventions
Abstract : Background: In critically ill patients, treated in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) because of severe brain injury or stroke, physical activities have been restricted to a minimum due to the potential risks of complications and adverse events. Nevertheless, passive physiotherapy treatments are widely used without conclusive evidence for their safety. READ MORE

2. Regional ventilation, pulmonary perfusion and gas exchange in supine and prone positions
Abstract : The rationale for treating patients with acute lung injury in the prone position springs from a number of observations. Clinical reports have documented improved oxygenation when patients are turned prone. Regional vascular conductance is higher in dorsal lung regions regardless of posture. READ MORE

3. Gas exchange impairment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery : with reference to ventilation-perfusion relationships, thoracic intravascular and extravascular fluid volumes, pulmonary morphology and mechanical ventilation in the prone position
Abstract : .... READ MORE

4. Gas Exchange in the Normal Lung : Experimental studies on the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure and body position
Abstract : BACKGROUND: The principal function of the lung is gas exchange requiring adequate ventilation and perfusion at the level of the alveoli. The efficiency of gas exchange is depending on the distributions of regional ventilation (V) and pulmonary blood flow (Q) and their correlation. READ MORE

5. Respiratory tract infections, reflex apnea and sudden infant death : experimental and epidemiological studies with special reference to respiratory syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis and sleep position
Abstract : The seasonal distribution of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) followed the prevalence of respiratory tract infections (RTI) when prone sleeping position was recommended, but this covariation has recently been attenuated. Airway infections in the young infant are known to produce respiratory disturbances. READ MORE
