Barotrauma — Pulmonary barotrauma is a well-known complication of positive pressure mechanical ventilation.

Pulmonary barotrauma is a rupturing of the lungs by internal over-pressurisation caused by the expansion of air held in the lungs on depressurisation such as: a scuba diver ascending while holding the breath or ; the explosive decompression of an aircraft cabin or other working environment.

Pulmonary hypertension may be treated with epoprostenol, bosentan and possibly aerolized iloprost.

Pulmonary rehabilitation may be initiated as a treatment as a source for continuity of improvement after a hospital stay or as a therapeutic way to increase quality of life.

Pulmonary aspiration of particulate matter may result in acute airway obstruction which may rapidly lead to death from arterial hypoxemia.

Pulmonary aspiration of acidic material ( such as stomach acid ) may produce an immediate primary injury caused by the chemical reaction of acid with lung parenchyma, and a later secondary injury as a result of the subsequent inflammatory response.

Pulmonary embolism, heart attack or stroke are very rare complications that may result after any type of surgery due to immobility after surgery which results in blood clots that may travel to the heart, lung or brain.

Nebulized medications may be prescribed in order to loosen secretions or treat underlying Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Pulmonary function testing may reveal airflow limitation, restrictive defects, reduced diffusion capacity, mixed defects, or may be normal ( especially without complicated disease ).

Pulmonary hypertension is the most serious effect on the lungs, and there may also be restriction of chest expansion or impaired gas exchange.

Pulmonary hypertension caused by chronic thromboembolic disease ( CTEPH ) may be amenable to pulmonary thromboendarterectomy of the pulmonary artery.

* Pulmonary paraglioma: These occur in the lung and may be either single or multiple.

Pulmonary fibrosis may be a secondary effect of other diseases.

Pulmonary fibrosis may also cause increased risk for pulmonary emboli, which can be prevented by anticoagulants.

* Pulmonary stenosis ( known also as pulmonic stenosis )

Pulmonary surfactants are also naturally secreted by type II cells of the lung alveoli in mammals.

* Pulmonary vascular resistance, also called pulmonal vascular resistance

Vie is also home to two other major hospitals: the Pulmonary Diseases Hospital ( more commonly known as The Tuberculosis Hospital, or Spital TBC ) and the Oradea Mental Hospital.

Pulmonary heart disease is also known as right heart failure or cor pulmonale.

He co-chairs the Senate Nuclear Caucus, the Canada-U. S. Interparliamentary Group ( IPG ); the COPD ( Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ) Caucus, which he also founded ; and the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus.

Pulmonary edema secondary to left-sided congestive heart failure can also cause rales.

Pulmonary and ocular damage are most likely to occur when supplemental oxygen is administered as part of a treatment, particularly to newborn infants, but are also a concern during hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Pulmonary complications of silicosis also include Chronic Bronchitis and airflow limitation ( indistinguishable from that caused by smoking ), non-tuberculous Mycobacterium infection, fungal lung infection, compensatory emphysema, and pneumothorax.

A second conference in 1998 at Évian-les-Bains also addressed the causes of secondary PH ( i. e. those due to other medical conditions ), and in 2003, the 3rd World Symposium on Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension was convened in Venice to modify the classification based on new understandings of disease mechanisms.

Pulmonary NTM can also be found in individuals with AIDS and malignant disease.

# Pulmonary immaturity has also been proposed as a causative factor.

Pulmonary haemorrhage, pleural effusions, atelectasis, and intrapulmonary shunts also contribute to respiratory difficulty.

It is also referred to as Ovine Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma ( OPA ).

The National Pulmonary Hypertension Unit is also the leading centre in this area in Ireland.

Pulmonary physiotherapy and postural drainage are also important.

* Ovine Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma, a disease of the lungs in sheep and goats, also known as Jaagsiekte

* Pulmonary Function Tests ( PFT ) ( or spirometry ) must be performed in all patients presenting with chronic cough.

Pulmonary embolisms were once thought to be transudative but have been recently shown to be exudative

* Fumonisins – Crop corn can be easily contaminated by the fungi Fusarium moniliforme, and its Fumonisin B1 will cause Leukoencephalomalacia ( LEM ) in horses, Pulmonary edema syndrome ( PES ) in pigs, liver cancer in rats and Esophageal cancer in humans .< ref name = ftihah >

Pulmonary contusion due to trauma is an example of a condition that can be asymptomatic with half of people showing no signs at the initial presentation since such symptoms can take time to develop.

Pulmonary artery banding is used in a small number of cases of d-TGA, usually when the corrective surgery needs to be delayed, to create an artificial stenosis in order to control pulmonary blood pressure ; PAB involves placing a band around the pulmonary trunk, this band can then be quickly and easily adjusted when necessary.

Pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure.

Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure ( PAOP or PCWP ) must be less than 15 mm Hg ( 2000 Pa ) and pulmonary vascular resistance ( PVR ) must be greater than 3 Wood units ( 240 dyn • s • cm < sup >− 5 </ sup > or 2. 4 mN • s • cm < sup >− 5 </ sup >).

Pulmonary emphysema can be induced in rats through acute exposure to sidestream tobacco smoke ( 30 cigarettes per day ) over a period of 45 days.

TPR should not be confused with Pulmonary Vascular Resistance ( PVR ), which is the resistance in the pulmonary circulation.

Pulmonary NTM is estimated by some experts in the field to be at least ten times more common than TB in the U. S., with at least 150, 000 cases per year.

Pulmonary involvement can be fatal.
