The traditional low flow system used for medical gas delivery is the Nasal cannula which is limited to the delivery of 1–6 L/min of oxygen or up to 15 L/min in certain types. This is because even with quiet breathing, the inspiratory flow rate at the nares of an adult usually exceeds 30 L/min.
Conversely, "care gain" refers to the benefits for women migrant workers, their families, and the receiving nations. [1] [2] Care drain is notable in five migratory streams: [3] From Eastern Europe to Western Europe; From Mexico, Central America, and South America to the United States; From North Africa to Southern Europe; From South Asia to ...
Air pollution exposure affects FEV 1 in asthmatics, but also affects FVC and FEV 1 in healthy adults even at low concentrations. [8] Specific changes in lung volumes also occur during pregnancy. Functional residual capacity drops 18–20%, [9] typically falling from 1.7 to 1.35 litres, [citation needed] due to the compression of the diaphragm ...
The most common parameters measured in spirometry are vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV) at timed intervals of 0.5, 1.0 (FEV1), 2.0, and 3.0 seconds, forced expiratory flow 25–75% (FEF 25–75) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), [10] also known as Maximum breathing capacity.

Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration. [1] At FRC, the opposing elastic recoil forces of the lungs and chest wall are in equilibrium and there is no exertion by the diaphragm or other respiratory muscles.
