Severe gastroesophageal reflux is associated with reduced carbon monoxide diffusing capacity.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether severe gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is associated with abnormalities in lung function including measures of lung volume and gas diffusion. METHODS Data from 147 patients with obesity (body mass index [BMI] range, 31.7 to 70 kg/m(2)) who presented for obesity surgery was analyzed retrospectively. A questionnaire was completed preoperatively that included a history ...
متن کاملReduction in membrane component of diffusing capacity is associated with the extent of acute pulmonary embolism
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) often decreases pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL,CO), but data on the mechanisms involved are inconsistent. We wanted to investigate whether reduction in diffusing capacity of alveolo-capillary membrane (DM) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) is associated with the extent of PE or the presence and severity of right ventricular dysfunction...
متن کاملPulmonary Diffusing Capacity in Mitral Valve Disease.
While the pulmonary diffusing capacity is now accepted as an important test of lung function, comparatively little application of the test has been made in patients suffering from cardiac disorders. Bates, Boucot, and Dormer (1955) were the first to describe a simple and reliable means for estimating gaseous diffusion, using the steady state carbon monoxide technique. MacNamara, Prime, and Sinc...
متن کاملPulmonary diffusing capacity in left ventricular dysfunction.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are any consistent spirometric or Dsb findings in patients with LV dysfunction characterized by a clinical diagnosis of CHF and an EF less than 40 percent. We performed spirometry and Dsb in 34 patients, and found that EF correlated only with Dsb. When we separated the patients into those with rales and those without, Dsb correlated stron...
متن کاملPulmonary diffusing capacity in disorders of the pulmonary circulation.
The pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide was measured by single breath (DcoSB) and steady state (DcoSS) techniques in 48 patients with various pulmonary circulatory disorders and the results compared with the type of hemodynamic abnormality. Patients with pure inflow obstruction (primary pulmonary hypertension, recurrent pulmonary emboli) had the lowest Dco (mean DcoSB = 14.3 ml/min...
