| | Life support therapies utilize some combination of several techniques: enteric feeding, intravenous drips, total parenteral nutrition, mechanical respiration, heart/lung bypass, defibrillation, urinary catheterization and dialysis. | | | For another common example, some hospitals have cardiac care nurses that can skillfully limit a patient's uptake of fluids, preventing their need to urinate, and thus their need for diuretic drugs and a urinary catheter. | | | The same techniques are also used for intensive care, but there is a slightly different emphasis. |

| | Unfortunately (due to the chase-and-tackle mechanics that almost always occur in these situations), Phase 2 physical restraint usually always begins with forceful-prone-restraint – often with one or more persons kneeling on the individual's back (torso/posterior chest) and/or hips. | | | And, when in hobble restraint, the individual's shoulders are pulled up and back, locking the chest wall into a hyperexpanded position – seriously limiting chest wall relaxation OR further chest wall expansion. | | | Although forceful-prone-restraint and/or forceful-prone-hobble-restraint restriction of accessory muscles has not been studied, it is obvious to unbiased researchers that "any restraint that prevents a change of position could restrict breathing further by preventing (accessory) muscles from assisting in respiration."

| Â | EFFECT OF MECHANICAL CONDITIONING ON AEROBIC RESPIRATION OF ALFALFA |
| | Since little is known about how severe conditioning affects this kind of loss, a study was carried out to compare respiration losses over time in unconditioned and severely conditioned alfalfa. | | | Losses started out very slowly in severely conditioned material, relative to conditioned material, but after about 12 hours they accelerated due to microbial activity and eventually overtook the losses in the conditioned material. | | | This means that the benefits of extreme conditioning can be attained without increases in respiration losses. |

| Â | Venous return - muscle & respiration |
| | During expiration, the opposite occurs although the dynamics are such that the net effect of respiration is that increasing the rate and depth of ventilation facilitates venous return and ventricular stroke volume. | | | Deep veins in the lower limbs, for example, are surrounded by large muscle groups that compress the deep veins when the muscles contract. | | | Venous compression increases the pressure within the vein, which closes upstream valves and opens downstream valves, thereby acting as a pumping mechanism. |
