Compliance and Airway Resistance During Anaesthesia With Controlled Ventilation

Abstract: SUMMARYDynamic compliance, resistance to gas flow and respiratory work were determined in 20 patients during anaesthesia and controlled ventilation with the Engström respirator. The compliance was measured continuously with the aid of a “respiration analyser” and a pneumotacho‐calibrator, which allows breath‐by‐breath registration and automatic calibration of gas flow, compliance and respiratory work without the interruption of the patient's ventilation. Ventilatory frequencies utilized (18‐20/min.) and tidal … Show more

“…The expiratory resistance is regulated by a conical valve; adjustment of this resistance is determined by the valve-chamber pressure (the aneroid manometer is not shown in this diagram). STROM et al 1959, 1962, NORLANDER 1968. A negative expiratory pressure was not used, and 30 cm H,O was set for the pressure limit.…”

“…During anaesthesia, most subjects display airway closure within or even above a normal tidal breath (GIL- MOUR et al 1976, HEDENSTIERNA et al 1976a, 1976b. The inspiratory resistance, including resistance to gas flow in airways and pulmonary tissue resistance, has been shown to be increased by anaesthesia (CLEMENTS et al 1959, WESTCATE et al 1962, NORLANDER et al 1968, HEDENSTIERNA & MCCARTHY 1975a and may, in analogy with the increased resistance found in chronic obstructive lung disease, indicate an increased scatter of regional airway resistances and thus pulmonary time constants. The extent to which each of these factorsairway closure and non-gravitational differences in regional time constants -may affect gas distribution within the lung has not been established in the anaesthetized, normal subject.…”
