متن کاملVentilatory efficiency before and after lung volume reduction surgery.
BACKGROUND Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has been shown to improve the clearance of carbon dioxide and minute ventilation (V̇E) in select patients with COPD. One variable often assessed in COPD is ventilatory efficiency (V̇E/V̇CO2 ). METHODS We compared 55 LVRS subjects with 25 controls from the National Emphysema Treatment Trial. V̇E/V̇CO2 was calculated from cardiopulmonary exercise testi...
