Electrocardiographic Changes in Pulmonary Collapse Therapy

Collapse Therapy of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Surgical collapse therapy in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Collapse therapy (medical) in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Whatever the exact mechanism involved in the various measures embraced by the term ' collapse therapy' for pulmonary tuberculosis, a feature common to them all is the reduction in volume of the diseased portion of lung. There is ample evidence that the resultant relaxation is beneficial and conducive to healing. Yet, even before the advent of chemotherapy and the progress in thoracic surgery wh...

The Collapse Therapy of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Electrocardiographic changes in pulmonary collapse; artificial and spontaneous left-sided pneumothorax studied by conventional and unipolar methods.

In a previous paper Feldman and Sllverberg' described the electrocardiographic changes produced by the Induction of artificial pneumothorax in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, using Leads I, II, III, and CF precordial leads. A characteristic electro-cardiographic pattern was noted in cases with left pneumothorax, consisting of a low T1, T3 higher than T1, together with lowering and frequen...
