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.
