Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction [PDF]

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010
The application of lung volume reduction surgery in clinical practice is limited by high postoperative morbidity and stringent selection criteria. This has been the impetus for the development of bronchoscopic approaches to lung volume reduction.

Evaluation of respiratory function indicators of elite athletes in academic rowing using the method of computer spirography

Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports, 2023
Background and Study Aim. In modern sports, the research and study of the functional capabilities of athletes' breathing is relevant. The analysis of individual results made it possible to form an idea about the respiratory functions of athletes.

Lung volume reduction for emphysema [PDF]

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2017
Advanced emphysema is a lung disease in which alveolar capillary units are destroyed and supporting tissue is lost. The combined effect of reduced gas exchange and changes in airway dynamics impairs expiratory airflow and leads to progressive air trapping. Pharmacological therapies have limited effects. Surgical resection of the most destroyed sections

Differences in lung and lobe volumes between supine and upright computed tomography in patients with idiopathic lung fibrosis

Scientific Reports, 2022
No clinical study has compared lung or lobe volumes on computed tomography (CT) between the supine and standing positions in patients with idiopathic lung fibrosis (IPF).

Lung Volume Reduction Reoperations [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008
Optimal management of emphysematous patients who have lost the benefits achieved after lung volume reduction surgery is a clinical dilemma. We have hypothesized that in stringently selected instances, lung volume reduction reoperations might be considered as a salvage surgical treatment.

Diagnostic performance of lung volumes in assessment of reversibility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2021
Background Reversibility measured by spirometry in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined as an increase in forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) that is both more than 12% and 200 mL above the pre-bronchodilator value in ...

Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: Pulmonary Function Testing and a Pathophysiology Perspective

Medicina, 2019
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) has been increasingly recognized over the past 10−15 years as a clinical entity characterized by rather severe imaging and gas exchange abnormalities, but often only mild impairment in spirometric ...

Lung Function before and Two Days after Open-Heart Surgery

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2012
Reduced lung volumes and atelectasis are common after open-heart surgery, and pronounced restrictive lung volume impairment has been found. The aim of this study was to investigate factors influencing lung volumes on the second postoperative day.

Reference values for lung function tests: I. Static volumes [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
Static lung volume (LV) measurements have a number of clinical and research applications; however, no previous studies have provided reference values for such tests using a healthy sample of the adult Brazilian population.
