Infant mortality caused by respiratory distress syndrome in the United States decreased from ∼268 in 100,000 live births in 1971 to 98 in 100,000 live births in 1985 (1) and 17 in 100,000 live births ...
Short-term high-frequency nasal ventilation (HFNV) of preterm neonates provides acceptable gas exchange compared to endotracheal intubation and intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV). Whether ...
Gas exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. For unicellular organisms the respiratory surface is simply ...
The morphometrics of the respiratory system, voluntary emersion behaviour, and gas exchange during immersion and emersion were examined in the amphibious, intertidal crab Hemigrapsus nudus. The area ...
We explore the physical and structural challenges that face gas exchange surfaces in vertebrates and insects, by focusing on the role of the surfactant system. Pulmonary surfactant is a complex ...
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the human body. This system also helps remove metabolic waste products and keep pH levels in check. The major ...
