THE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON CHANGE IN LUNG CAPACITIES AFTER POST VENTILATOR RECOVERY
Main Article Content
Keywords
Abstract
The recovery phase for patients following mechanical ventilation is often characterized by significant pulmonary sequelae. While life-saving, prolonged ventilation can lead to ventilator-associated lung injury, diaphragmatic atrophy, and fibrotic changes. Understanding the longitudinal changes in lung capacities during the post-ventilator period is critical for developing effective pulmonary rehabilitation protocols and predicting long-term respiratory health.
Objective: This study aims to quantify the physiological shifts in lung volumes and capacities—specifically Functional Residual Capacity (FRC), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), and Total Lung Capacity (TLC)—in patients during the first six months following liberation from mechanical ventilation.
