2. FRC in acute lung injury. Experimental and clinical studies
Abstract : Respiratory failure due to acute lung injury (ALI) of diffuse inflammatory origin is a major cause of respiratory failure treated in intensive care units. In ALI, FRC is reduced by various mechanisms associated with hypoxemia and consolidation of the lung. READ MORE

3. Haemodynamic and ventilatory effects of laparoscopic surgery
Abstract : Background: It has been shown repeatedly that the establishment of pneumoperitoneum (PP) is associated with increased cardiac filling pressures, as well as increased blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Patients without heart or lung disease can compensate for these effects of PP, but cardiopulmonary compromised patients may develop cardiac failure during PP. READ MORE

4. Splanchnic circulation in cardiac surgery
Abstract : The studies addressed different techniques of monitoring hepatic and splanchnic blood flow (SBF) during open heart surgery. Calculations of gastric mucosal pH (pHi) using tonometry was performed in 72 patients, and the effect of dopaminergic stimulation on pH1 was studied in 33 patients. READ MORE

5. Skin circulation measured by fluorescein flowmetry
Abstract : Fluorescein flowmetry (FF) is an indicator dilution technique using sodium fluorescein as an indicator. If the tissue is illuminated with U-V light or blue light, after a bolus injection of the dye, fluorescence is seen in the tissue, and can be measured either photographically or by the video technique.
