Ventilation-perfusion distribution in normal subjects.
Functional values of LogSD of the ventilation distribution (σ(V)) have been reported previously, but functional values of LogSD of the perfusion distribution (σ(q)) and the coefficient of correlation between ventilation and perfusion (ρ) have not been measured in humans. Here, we report values for σ(V), σ(q), and ρ obtained from wash-in data for three gases, helium and two soluble gases, acetyl...
متن کاملTomography of regional ventilation and perfusion using krypton 81m in normal subjects and asthmatic patients.
Single photon emission computed tomography, a rotating gamma camera, and continuous inhalation or infusion of krypton 81m (half life 13 seconds) were used to measure regional ventilation (V), perfusion (Q), and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) ratios in five normal subjects in supine, prone, and lateral decubitus postures and in three asthmatic patients (supine posture only) before and after inhalat...
متن کاملInspiratory flow rate and ventilation distribution in normal subjects and in patients with simple chronic bronchitis.
1. Seated subjects stopped ventilation briefly at end expiration while a 5 ml bolus of 133Xe was injected close to the mouth. They then inspired air at different flow rates and the distribution of radioactivity in the lungs was measured with a scanning technique during a period of breath-holding at maximal inspiration. 2. In five normal subjects the dependent zones received a greater fraction o...
متن کاملBreathing patterns and regional ventilation distribution in tetraplegic patients and in normal subjects.
1. The regional distribution of ventilation was studied with '33Xe techniques in the sitting position in six patients with complete traumatic transection of the cervical spinal cord, 340 months after the lesion, and in four normal subjects. The relative contributions of the rib cage and abdomen to ventilation were determined from chestwall motions. 2. Total lung capacity (TLC) was decreased and...
متن کاملSimilar ventilation distribution in normal subjects prone and supine during tidal breathing.
Multiple-breath washout (MBW) tests, with end-expiratory lung volume at functional residual capacity (FRC) and 90% O(2), 5% He, and 5% SF(6) as an inspired gas mixture, were performed in healthy volunteers in supine and prone postures. The semilog plot of MBW N(2) concentrations was evaluated in terms of its curvilinearity. The MBW N(2) normalized slope analysis yielded indexes of acinar and co...
