Congenital Cyst and Emphysema of the Lung
Les auteurs rapportent chez deux nourrissons, l'etude anatomo-clinique d'un cas de kystes alveolaires multiples,et d'un cas d'emphyseme lobaire congenital bilateral.Le troisieme cas concerne un kyste bronchog6nique du poumon gauche,decouvert a l'autopsie d'un nouveau-ne. Dans le quatrieme cas,un emphyseme geant du lobe superieur gauche,decouvert dans un contexte infectieux,a l'age de neuf mois,...
متن کاملA simple method for correcting single breath total lung capacity for underestimation.
The single breath method underestimates total lung capacity by comparison with the multiple breath method (TLCmb) because of inhomogeneity of ventilation distribution. This study proposes a simple correction for the single breath TLC (TLCsb), using inert gas phase III slope to account for the effects of uneven ventilation distribution. A model of a non-uniform lung ventilation was designed, com...
متن کاملLung Volume Reduction in Advanced Emphysema
Hyperinflation is a cardinal feature of COPD associated with reduced daily physical activity (1) and increased mortality (2). Although bronchodilators and pulmonary rehabilitation have some effect many patients with COPD remain highly symptomatic (3,4). The most established treatment is lung volume reduction surgery and results from the NETT trial show improved survival in appropriately selecte...
متن کاملEndoscopic lung volume reduction in severe emphysema.
Therapeutic options in severe emphysema are limited. Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) refers to bronchoscopically inducing volume loss to improve pulmonary mechanics and compliance, thereby reducing the work of breathing. Globally, this technique is increasingly used as treatment for advanced emphysema with the aim of obtaining similar functional advantages to surgical lung volume reduct...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery for native lung hyperinflation following single-lung transplantation for emphysema: which patients?
OBJECTIVES Lung transplantation is an established treatment for patients with advanced emphysema. Double-lung transplantation is favoured to avoid complications following single-lung transplantation, including native lung hyperinflation. Nonetheless, single-lung transplantation continues due to limited donor organ availability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pre-operative assessment,...
