Development of a giant bulla after lung volume reduction surgery.
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is being evaluated in the treatment of emphysema. The proposed mechanisms of improvement are increased elastic recoil of the lung and improved mechanical efficiency of the muscles of respiration. We report a unique patient with emphysema who developed a giant bulla 3 years subsequent to LVRS. The patient underwent extensive evaluation, including measurements...
متن کاملLung function after bilateral lower lobe lung volume reduction surgery for alpha1-antitrypsin emphysema.
This study explores the mechanism(s) of airflow limitation following lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in patients with emphysema due to homozygous alpha1-antitrypsin (AT) deficiency. Bilateral targeted lower lobe stapled LVRS using video thoracoscopy was performed in six patients (five males) aged 61+/-9 yrs (mean+/-SD) with alpha1-AT emphysema. Two patients received only a 6-month follow-u...
متن کاملPhysiological basis of improvement after lung volume reduction surgery for severe emphysema: where are we?
Lung volume reduction surgery has become an accepted therapeutic option to relieve the symptoms of selected patients with severe emphysema. In a majority of these patients, it causes objective as well as subjective functional improvement. A proper understanding of the physiological determinants underlying these beneficial effects appears very important in order to better select patients for the...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery: an overview.
Lung volume reduction surgery, originally used in the 1950s, has reemerged as a technique that may help some individuals with end-stage emphysema breathe more easily. The goal of the surgery is to enhance elastic recoil of the lung and to restore diaphragmatic function. The surgery is still in the experimental stages, but early outcome data are encouraging. The purpose of this study was to disc...
متن کاملLung elastic recoil during breathing at increased lung volume.
During dynamic hyperinflation with induced bronchoconstriction, there is a reduction in lung elastic recoil at constant lung volume (R. Pellegrino, O. Wilson, G. Jenouri, and J. R. Rodarte. J. Appl. Physiol. 81: 964-975, 1996). In the present study, lung elastic recoil at control end inspiration was measured in normal subjects in a volume displacement plethysmograph before and after voluntary i...
متن کاملRisk factors for near-fatal asthma.
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of lung function data in patients, both before and after episodes of near-fatal asthma (NFA), requiring transient endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. METHODS Lung function was initially measured in 43 asthmatic patients (age range, 16 to 49 years), who were observed and treated in a tertiary referral asthma clinic and were clinically stable at the...
