The effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) on functional residual capacity (FRC) of ten healthy, spontaneously breathing, lightly anesthetized intubated mongrel dogs was studied. The CPAP and EPAP at 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm H2O were alternately applied to all animals. Total (lung and chest wall) compliance, esophageal pressure, airway pressure, transpulmonary pressure, control FRC, and the change in FRC (delta FRC) were measured before and after each application of CPAP and EPAP. Neither expiratory transpulmonary pressure nor delta FRC with CPAP differed significantly from that with EPAP at all levels (p greater than 0.05). These data suggest that CPAP and EPAP, when applied at the same expiratory pressure, result in an equivalent increase in FRC due to passive mechanical distention of the lungs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008168 Lung Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood. Lungs
D008170 Lung Compliance The capability of the LUNGS to distend under pressure as measured by pulmonary volume change per unit pressure change. While not a complete description of the pressure-volume properties of the lung, it is nevertheless useful in practice as a measure of the comparative stiffness of the lung. (From Best & Taylor's Physiological Basis of Medical Practice, 12th ed, p562) Compliance, Lung,Compliances, Lung,Lung Compliances
D011175 Positive-Pressure Respiration A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.

D005652 Functional Residual Capacity The volume of air remaining in the LUNGS at the end of a normal, quiet expiration. It is the sum of the RESIDUAL VOLUME and the EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME. Common abbreviation is FRC. Capacities, Functional Residual,Capacity, Functional Residual,Functional Residual Capacities,Residual Capacities, Functional,Residual Capacity, Functional
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
