  • Title: Noninvasive monitoring of lung function during mechanical ventilation.
    Author: Boysen PG, Broome JA.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 1988 Jul; 4(3):527-41. PubMed ID: 3145789.
    Abstract:
    Noninvasive monitoring can greatly enhance decision-making and clinical approaches to the respiratory failure patient. Newer microprocessor systems will calculate, present, and trend derived data such as airway resistance and lung-thorax compliance. These changes characterize the degree of lung dysfunction and parallel abnormalities in gas exchange.
