The determination of static lung volumes.
Communications to the Editor ticed for days with a laryngeal mirror until he was able to tolerate the examination without a topical anesthetic. Indeed, using a lightbulb, head mirror, wall mirror and laryngeal mirror, he learned how to visualize his own larynx. When the next opportunity arose, Mr. Brubaker again volunteered to sit for the photography session, this time without a topical anesthe...
متن کاملDiffusing capacity and spirometry following a 60-minute dive to 4.5 meters.
The purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of SCUBA to the pulmonary effects of diving to 4.5 meters depth in healthy subjects using a randomized crossover control condition. Ten healthy divers performed two 60-minute 'dives' using SCUBA in a swimming pool. The non-immersed 1 ATA SCUBA control exposure took place at ambient pressure in the laboratory. Thirty minutes prior to, and ...
متن کاملRecruitment of lung diffusing capacity: update of concept and application.
Lung diffusing capacity (DL) for carbon monoxide (DLCO), nitric oxide (DLNO) or oxygen (DLO2) increases from rest to peak exercise without reaching an upper limit; this recruitment results from interactions among alveolar volume (VA), and cardiac output (q), as well as changing physical properties and spatial distribution of capillary erythrocytes, and is critical for maintaining a normal arter...
متن کاملImportance of appropriately adjusting diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide/alveolar volume ratio for lung volume.
In their report on cardiac sarcoidosis, Smedema et al (July 2005)1 remarkably conclude that patients without cardiac symptoms do not require more sensitive studies to detect heart disease. This report, while of interest, is limited by a patient follow-up that varied widely from 3 to 54 months. Since this study does not well characterize the natural history of asymptomatic cardiac sarcoidosis an...
متن کاملMeasurement variability in single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO) is a commonly performed pulmonary function test. The current American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommendations for reproducibility of DLCO measurements suggest that two measurements for the DLCO agree within 10% or 3 mL/min/mm Hg of the average value. The European Respiratory Society (ERS) recommends that two measurements sh...
