intrathoracic

Examples

• All

• Increased intrathoracic pressure can affect breathing and cardiac function.

• Inspiration in spontaneously breathing patients causes negative intrathoracic pressure and a decrease in IVC diameter.

• Many authors stress the importance of preoperative imaging to look for intrathoracic extension, which is present in 10% of cases.

  Academic text (2010)

• Additionally, correlations exist between OSA and cardiovascular disease, possibly related to the increased negative intrathoracic pressure.

  Academic text (2008)

• In conclusion, the traditional management of esophageal perforation has been driven by our experience with spontaneous intrathoracic rupture in adults.

• Therefore, we summarized the type of procedure using a previously identified grouping: intraperitoneal, intrathoracic, or aortic procedure, and others.

  Academic text (1999)

• Therefore, recurrent apnoeic episodes with the development of negative intrathoracic pressure, as seen in our patients, would considerably increase left-ventricular-wall stress and afterload.

  Academic text (1991)

• To measure intrathoracic negative pressure swings during obstructive apnoea, oesophageal pressure was recorded by a balloon catheter.

  Academic text (1991)

• Furthermore, the positive intrathoracic pressure has been reported to increase stroke volume index and to decrease intrapulmonary shunt and left-ventricular afterload without compromising cardiac index.

  Academic text (2000)

• Its pathology is related to an anatomically and physiologically narrow pharyngeal airway that collapses during inspiration, resulting in increased negative intrathoracic pressure, which exacerbates the condition.
