Dynamic Hyperinflation

  • Conference paper
Ventilatory Failure

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 15))

Abstract

Pulmonary hyperinflation is defined by an increase in the functional residual capacity (FRC), which is the amount of gas in the lungs and the airways at the end of a spontaneous expiration. Under normal circumstances and also in some abnormal conditions, the elastic energy stored in the respiratory system during the preceding inspiration is sufficient to breathe out, and the FRC is determined by the opposing elastic forces of the lungs and the chest wall, such that it corresponds to the static equilibrium volume of the total respiratory system (Vr, relaxation volume) [1]. Assuming the quiet breathing of an adult, healthy subject in the standing or sitting position as the control situation, there are several physiological as well as pathological events which can modify the FRC. One of these events is an abnormal increase of FRC above Vr because of dynamic forces, i.e. dynamic hyperinflation [2, 3].
