This experiment was conducted in order to identify the effect of the laryngeal mask airway and it's clinical utility on cardiovascular system, intraocular pressure and stress reaction at the time of anesthesia care. The heart rate, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure and intraocular pressure were significantly reduced in the experimental group to be compared with the control group. But, there were no significant differences in mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure and blood cortisol concentration between both groups. In view of the above results, it is thought that the airway management using the laryngeal mask airway will be useful to reduce the stress condition in the induction of anesthesia.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to get basal user guidelines of safer bag-valve-mask application on patient with normal pulmonary patho-physiologic condition. Methods : This study was accomplished by pre-qualified 25 EMS junior grade students. Participants were instructed randomly compress bag to one-third, half and total and also with differesnt compression speed. Resultant tidal volumes and mean airway pressures obtained in RespiTrainer were analysed in relation to the each compression depth and rate. Results : Demographic difference does not affect tidal volume with any compression depth and rate change. Increasing compression depth is correlated with tidal volume increasement at any compression rate and also with mean airway pressure. If the compression depth is same, compression rate change did not affect significantly the resultant tidal volume or mean airway pressure. Conclusion : Hand size, Experience, BMI dose not affect tidal volume. Compress the 1600 ml bag half to total amount is safe way to offer sufficient tidal volume without risky high airway pressure delivery to patient airway who with normal lung patho-physiologic condition.

A possible asymmetry in airway inertance was modeled based on previously reported radiographic visualization data of the airway wall fluctuation in intact dogs. Effects of asymmetric Inertance on mean lung volume during high frequency ventilation (HFV) were evaluated in terms of mean inertive pressure drop across the airways. It was found that a negligible inertlve pressure drop was expected ($<1{\;}cmH_20$) in normal subjects, while a sig- nificant rise in mean alveolar pressure compared to mean mouth pressure by approximately $3{\;}cmH_20$ was resulted for about 40% airway fluctuation representing bronchoconstriction state by Histamine induction. These results demonstrate that asymmetric Inertance could lead patients with airway diseases to a significant lung hyperinflation (LHI), and bronchodilation treatment is recommended prior to applying HFV to prevent those patients from a possible barotrauma.

Objective: To determine the extent to which thin-section and volumetric three-dimensional CT can depict airway reactivity to bronchostimulator, and to assess the effect of different airway sizes on the degree of reactivity. Materials and Methods: In eight dogs, thin-section CT scans were obtained before and after the administration of methacholine and ventolin. Cross-sectional areas of bronchi at multiple levels, as shown by axial CT, proximal airway volume as revealed by three-dimensional imaging, and peak airway pressure were measured. The significance of airway change induced by methacholine and ventolin, expressed by percentage changes in cross-sectional area, proximal airway volume, and peak airway pressure was statistically evaluated, as was correlation between the degree of airway reactivity and the area of airways. Results: Cross-sectional areas of the bronchi decreased significantly after the administration of methacholine, and scans obtained after a delay of 5 minutes showed that normalization was insufficient. Ventolin induced a significant increase in cross-sectional areas and an increase in proximal airway volume, while the effect of methacholine on the latter was the opposite. Peak airway pressure increased after the administration of methacholine, and after a 5-minute delay its level was near that of the control state. Ventolin, however, induced no significant decrease. The degree of airway reactivity did not correlate with airway size. Conclusion: Thin-section and volumetric spiral CT with three-dimensional reconstruction can demonstrate airway reactivity to bronchostimulator. The degree of reactivity did not correlate with airway size.

연구배경: Volume controlled ventilation(VCV)시 inspiratory pause의 사용은 흡기시간을 연장하여 평균기도압을 상승시키고 가스교환을 호전시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 같은 흡기시간을 유지하더라도 inspiratory pause를 사용하였을 경우 평균기도압과 가스교환의 변화에 대하여는 잘 알려지지 않았다. 방 법: 저자들은 VCV으로 기계호흡을 받는 12명의 환자를 대상으로 흡기산소농도, 상시호흡량, 호흡수 및 I : E ratio(1 : 3)는 변화시키지 않고 5%의 pause를 사용한 경우와 사용하지 않은 경우의 기도압 및 가스교환의 변화를 관찰하여 비교하였다. 결 과: 동맥혈 이산화탄소분압은 pause를 사용한 경우 $38.6{\pm}7.4$ mmHg로 시용하지 않은 경우의 $41.0{\pm}7.7$ mmHg보다 유의하게 낮았다 (p<0.01). 동맥혈 산소분압은 pause를 사용한 경우 $94.4{\pm}23.2$ mmHg로 사용하지 않은 경우의 $91.8{\pm}19.7$ mmHg보다 높은 경향이 있었으나 (p=0.054), 폐포-동맥혈 산소분압차$(P(A-a)O_2)$는 pause 유무에 따른 차이가 없었다 ($185.3{\pm}86.5$ mmHg vs. $184.9{\pm}84.9$ mmHg, P=0.766). 평균기도압은 pause를 사용한 경우 $9.7{\pm}4.0\;cmH_2O$로 사용하지 않은 경우의 $8.8{\pm}4.0\;cmH_2O$보다 유의하게 높았다 (p<0.01). Pause를 사용했을 때의 pause pressure와 pause를 사용하지 않을 때의 최고흡기압의 차이는 호흡기계의 저항과 역상관관계를 보였으나 (r=-0.777, p<0.01), pause가 없을 때의 최고흡기압에서 pause를 사용했을 때의 최고흡기압으로의 증가는 호흡기계의 저항과 정상관관계를 보여 (r=0.811, p<0.01), 평균기도압의 차이는 호흡기계의 저항과 유의한 정상관관계를 보였다(r=0.681, p<0.05). 평균기도압의 변화는 $PaCO_2$의 변화와 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결 론: Volume control ventilation시 동일한 1:3 의 I:E ratio하에서라도 5%의 inspiratory pause를 사용하는 것이 평균기도압을 더 높게 유지할 수 있으며 폐환기를 호전시킬 수 있는 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 호흡기계의 저항이 증가되어 있을수록 평균기도압의 상승이 많았으나 평균기도압의 상승 정도는 폐환기의 변화와 상관관계를 보이지 않았다.

During high frequency ventilation (HFV), mean alveolar pressure has been measured to increase with mean airway opening pressure controlled at a constant level in both humans and experimental animals. Since this phenomenon could potentiate barotrauma limiting advantages of HFV, the present study theoretically predicted the difference between menu alveolar and airway opening pressures ($MP_{alv}$). In a Weibel's trumpet airway model, approximated formula for $MP_{alv}$ was derived based on momentum conservation assuming a uniform velocity profile. The prediction, equation was a func pion of gas density($\rho$), mean flow rate(Q), and diameter of the airway opening where the pressure measurement was made($D_0$) : $MP_{alv}=4{\rho}(Q/D_0^{2})^2$. This was a result of the difference in crosssectional area between the alveoli and the airway opening. A simple aireway model experiment was performed and the results well fitted to the prediction, which demonstrated the validity of the present analysis. Previously reported $MP_{alv}$ data from anesthetized dogs in supine position were comparable to the predicted values, indicating that the observed dissociation between mean alveolar and airway opening pressures during HFV can be explained by this innate geometric (or cross-sectional area) asymmetry of the airways. In lateral position, however, the prediction substantially underestimated the measurements suggesting involvement of other important physiological mechanisms.

폐쇄성 수면무호흡(obstructive sleep apnea, OSA)은 수면 중에 반복적으로 상기도의 완전폐쇄나 부분폐쇄가 일어나는 질환으로서 흡기된 공기는 반드시 상기도라는 연조직 관(tube) 구조를 통과해야 하므로 상기도의 폐쇄경향은 관의 형태 및 관을 통과하는 공기의 유체역학적 특성에 따라서도 큰 영향을 받을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 OSA 환자 3인의 치료 전 상기도 CT 이미지를 이용하여 개별화된 3차원 유한요소모델 A, B, C를 제작하고, 비공 당 170, 200, 230 ml/s의 흡기유량에 대하여 3차원 전산유체역학 해석을 시행하였다. 상기도의 유속, 음압 그리고 압력강하를 측정한 결과 관찰된 3개의 모델에서 모두 단면적이 가장 작은 부위에서 유속이 증가하였고, 음압이 크게 나타났다. 기도의 형태는 구개인두와 구인두 부위에서 좁아지는 형태를 가지며, 최소 단면적 영역과 하인두 단면적의 차이가 클수록 유속과 음압의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 비강 부위의 최고 압력과 최소 단면적 영역의 최저 압력의 차이를 의미하는 압력강하는 상기도 저항을 종합적으로 판단할 수 있는 유용한 지표이며, 유량에 따라 증가하였다.

Nasal obstruction may cause or aggravate sleep disordered breathing but exact pathogenesis is not clear. The possible mechanism could be combination of alteration in upper airway aerodynaimcs, loss of nasal reflex or sensation, effect of mouth opening, and a genetic predisposition. Anatomical narrowing of nasal airway cause more rapid airflow and induce more negative inspiratory air pressure. So, it increases collapsibility of pharyngeal airway. Loss of nasal sensation to airflow block nasal reflex. Mouth opening decreases the activity of pharyngeal airway dilator muscles and narrowing the pharyngeal airway may occur. The treatment of nasal obstruction should be done according to the cause. The causes of nasal obstruction are various from problems of external nasal opening to nasopharynx. Relief of nasal obstruction may not cure sleep disordered breathing always. In some mild obstructive sleep apnea patients, treatment of nasal obstruction only may cure sleep disordered breathing. In some severe sleep apnea patients, treatment of nasal obstruction may increase compliance of continous nasal positive airway pressure.

A new experimental technique is proposed to localize the flow limiting segment(FLS) during forced expiration. The present technique is based on the pressure drip across FLS and a consequent change in airway resistance, which can provide an accurate and objective location of FLS. During forced expiratory maneuver artificially induced by a strong negative pressure (-100mmHg) applied at the trachea in an anesthetized open chest dog, airway resistance( R) was calculated from air flow and airway pres- sure signals at various airway locations and lung volumes, At the lung volumes above 10 % VC, FLS located in the trachea 6cm lower from the larynx. With the lung volume decreased below 8% VC, FLS jumped upstream to End-3rd generation of the airway. These results were similar with the previous reports from excised dog lungs, which demonstrated the validity of the present technique. Since the present technique provides a more objective measure of FLS location, it would be useful in future studies of expiratory flow limitation.
