The relationship between TVexp (the expiratory tidal volume) and ∫Pexp (the time integration values of pressure fluctuations extracted from respiratory movement by dynamic air-pressure sensor) for each subject. A strong correlation between TVexp and ∫Pexp was observed for all subjects.

Conscious sedation is a pharmacologically induced state of relaxation in which the patient remains conscious and cooperative throughout dental treatment. 1 However, monitoring and assessing patient respiratory function during conscious sedation are important because many drugs used for conscious sedation produce respiratory depression and subsequent hypoventilation. At present, the noninvasive methods utilized for continuous quantitative monitoring of breathing patterns include respiratory inductive plethysmography, tidal volume (TV

Management of patient fear and anxiety during surgical procedures is a primary concern of dental practitioners. Sedation is increasingly being used to improve patient comfort by relieving anxiety, elevating the pain threshold, rendering the patient compliant, and inducing amnesia. 1 However, many drugs used for sedation are central nervous system and respiratory depressants that can result in decreased ventilatory response to CO 2 , attenuated tidal volume, and decreased respiratory rate. 2 – 5 Accordingly, respiratory monitoring during

evaluation of responses to therapeutic interventions. Ideal monitors should be accurate, continuous, noninvasive, convenient, and not overly expensive. The primary systems monitored are the circulatory, respiratory, renal, central nervous, and neuromuscular systems. Monitoring also includes evaluating the fluid and electrolyte status, blood loss, and depth of anesthesia. Monitoring may be divided into “routine” monitoring for all patients undergoing anesthesia, and specialized monitoring for those more complex cases requiring more intensive evaluation of organ

nonanesthesiologists. 3 All guidelines for monitoring respiratory function have in common the following protocols: a) Oxygenation must be monitored continuously by pulse oximetry when providing moderate sedation, deep sedation, or general anesthesia. b) Ventilation must be monitored continually (periodically) during moderate sedation and continuously (uninterrupted) during deep sedation and general anesthesia. The conventional approach of most courses in pulmonary physiology is to address 4 categories of events that comprise respiration: ventilation, gas exchange

subarachnoid space. In type III, the cerebellum and medulla oblongata are displaced into the cervical spinal canal, and an occipital meningocele is present. In type IV, the cerebellum is incomplete or underdeveloped. Type II ACM is often complicated by respiratory depression as a result of upper airway obstruction caused by impairment of the lower cranial nerves, 2 sleep-disordered breathing caused by impairment of the medullary respiratory center, 3 , 4 and deglutition disorder and aspiration caused by impairment of the medullary swallowing center. 5 , 6 This

excessive stress on joints and muscles, which may exacerbate muscle tone. We performed dental treatment under general anesthesia for a child with CP with spasticity. The patient progressed uneventfully from induction of general anesthesia to the end of treatment; however, acute thoracoabdominal muscle hypertonia occurred after extubation, which led to respiratory failure. We report a case in which the patient’s signs and symptoms of respiratory failure improved after resedation and a positional change from the supine to the sitting position
