Studies of Lung Micromechanics via Hyperpolarized 3He Diffusion NMR
… changes in the size and/or shape of alveoli and alveolar ducts or by alveolar recruitment and derecruitment. In this dissertation lung morphometry is performed via 3He diffusion MRI in order to measure the average alveolar depth and alveolar duct radius at multiple levels of both inspiration and …

The use of computer aided lung sound analysis to characterise adventitious lung sounds: a potential outcome measure for respiratory therapy
… clinical outcome measure for physiotherapy alveolar recruitment and airway clearance techniques. Two experimental studies were conducted incorporating ‘before-and-after’ and ‘repeated measures’ components. Fifty four participants with productive lung disorders (cystic fibrosis and …

Ein Vergeich mehrerer Strategien alveolärer Rekrutierung am Modell der isoliert perfundierten Kaninchenlunge
Bei der künstlichen Beatmung von Patienten im Akut Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom (ARDS) ist es oberstes Ziel, die Beatmung so einzustellen, dass ein bereits vorgeschädigtes Lungengewebe durch die künstliche Beatmung nicht noch weiter geschädigt wird. Eine häufig angewendete Beatmungsstrategie …

Computational models for respiratory gas exchange and their applications
… The highly debated mechanism of pressure induced alveolar recruitment is required to produce model predictions that are consistent with clinical measurements for some individuals in this patient cohort. The models and studies presented here provide a basis for extension and application to future …
