Long-term clearance from small airways in subjects with ciliary dysfunction
The objective of this study was to investigate if long-term clearance from small airways is dependent on normal ciliary function. Six young adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) inhaled 111 Indium labelled Teflon particles of 4.2 microm geometric and 6.2 microm aerodynamic diameter with an extremely slow inhalation flow, 0.05 L/s. The inhalation method deposits particles mainly in the sm...
متن کاملLong-term clearance from small airways decreases with age.
The prevalence of respiratory symptoms increases with age. Age has been found to be negatively associated with large airway clearance. The small airways region is considered important for development of airway disease. Clearance after the first 24 h was studied in 46 healthy subjects with a wide age distribution, (mean 42, range 19-81 yrs). All subjects inhaled monodisperse 6 microm Teflon part...
متن کاملLong-term clearance from small airways in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Impaired mucociliary clearance is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF). Early morphological changes first appear in the small airways. Lung clearance was investigated in 11 young CF adults with mild-to-moderate lung disease using a method depositing particles mainly in the small airways. Radiolabelled Teflon particles (6 microm) were inhaled with an extremely slow inhalation flow, 0.05 L x s(-1)....
متن کاملTracheobronchial deposition and clearance in small airways in asthmatic subjects.
Asthma tends to impair mucociliary clearance, as assessed from measurements in large airways. However, very little is known about clearance in the smallest airways of the tracheobronchial region. Deposition and clearance was estimated in 11 subjects with stable asymptomatic asthma and 10 healthy subjects after inhalation of 6 microns (aerodynamic diameter) monodisperse Teflon particles labelled...
متن کاملMucociliary and long-term particle clearance in the airways of healthy nonsmoker subjects.
Spherical monodisperse ferromagnetic iron oxide particles of 1.9-microm geometric and 4.2-microm aerodynamic diameter were inhaled by 13 healthy nonsmoking subjects using the shallow bolus technique. The bolus width was 100 ml, and the penetration front depth was 150 +/- 27 ml. The mean flow rate during inhalation and exhalation was 250 ml/s. The Fowler dead space and the phase 1 dead space of ...
