A new automated method versus continuous positive airway pressure method for measuring pressure-volume curves in patients with acute lung injury

Objective: To compare pressure–volume (P–V) curves obtained with the Galileo ventilator with those obtained with the CPAP method in patients with ALI or ARDS receiving mechanical ventilation. P–V curves were fitted to a sigmoidal equation with a mean R2 of 0.994 ± 0.003. Lower (LIP) and upper inflection (UIP), and deflation maximum curvature (PMC) points calculated from the fitted variables showed a good correlation between methods with high intraclass correlation coefficients. Bias and limits of agreement for LIP, UIP and PMC obtained with the two methods in the same patient were clinically acceptable.

Estudi de la il·luminació a les aules, laboratoris docents i accessos de l'edifici P2 de l'EPS de la UdG.

L'objecte del treball és conèixer la realitat de la intal·lació luminotècnica actual de l'edifici PII de l'EPS per proposar alguna millora, buscant l'estalvi energètic i per tant la menor emissió de gassos contaminants a l'atmosfera
