Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is a viable option for a select group of emphysema patients. Effective preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation and careful patient selection criteria promote favorable outcomes. Effective perioperative pain management and early extubation are significant factors that minimize postoperative complications and lead to ...

Lung Volumes in Polynesian Children
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1987Polynesian (Maori and Pacific Island) children account for approximately one quarter of the children in New Zealand, but good data for lung function in this group are not available. In this review, we report lung volume measurements in 571 healthy children 5 to 13 yr of age: 270 Polynesians (139 boys and 131 girls) and 301 Europeans (177 boys and 124 ...

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of the concepts related to lung volumes. The measurement of the residual lung volume is necessary for measuring the pulmonary transfer factor by the single-breath carbon monoxide method and for obtaining total lung capacity whereby the emphysema pattern of impaired diffusion can be distinguished from

LUNG VOLUME IN SMOKERS AND NONSMOKERS
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1959Excerpt Tobacco smoking has long been suspected as an etiologic factor in respiratory symptoms and chronic bronchopulmonary disease, largely on the basis of clinical impression.

Emphysema is a chronic progressive condition of the lung characterized by an abnormal, permanent enlargement of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles accompanied by destruction of their walls, but without fibrosis. It is characterized by permanent impairment of the pulmonary terminal airway, hyperinflation of the parenchyma, and loss of elastic

Lung volume for initiation of phonation
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1965The percent of vital capacity at which phonation is normally initiated was investigated. Thirty normal young male and thirty normal young female adults breathed oxygen in a closed circuit respirometer in a standing position. Vital capacity, expiratory reserve, tidal volume for breathing, and phonation volume were determined for each subject.

Update on lung volume reduction
Journal of Surgical Research, 2004Lung-volume reduction surgery was a forgotten chapter in the history of thoracic surgery until it was reincarnated in a new form in 1994. The first report of 20 patients presented startlingly good results with minimal morbidity and mortality and interest in the procedure rapidly disseminated among the thoracic surgical community [1].
