Persistent diffuse pulmonary interstitial emphysema mimicking pulmonary emphysema.
A 69-year-old male non-smoker with a history of atopic asthma presented with symptoms suggestive of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and this appeared to be corroborated by lung function testing and a chest radiograph. However, a chest CT showed no evidence of pulmonary emphysema and instead demonstrated free air along the bronchovascular sheaths indicative of pulmonary interstistial emphy...
متن کاملCardiovascular Function in Pulmonary Emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias, have a strong influence on each other, and systemic inflammation has been considered as the main linkage between them. On the other hand, airflow limitation may markedly affect lung mechanics in terms of static and dynamic hyperinfl...
متن کاملPulmonary vascular resistance in emphysema.
To assess the hemodynamic effects of pulmonary microvasculature disruption in emphysema, we examined resting pulmonary hemodynamics and lung function in 12 carefully identified patients with type A chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Individuals with respiratory muscle weakness and intercurrent infection were excluded. Standard spirometry, helium dilution lung volumes, and single-breath carb...
متن کاملPulmonary interstitial emphysema.
Forty one of 210 preterm infants ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome in a three year period had radiological evidence of pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The development of this condition was significantly associated with malpositioning of the endotracheal tube in a main bronchus and the use of high peak pressure ventilation. Pulmonary interstitial emphysema was associated with a sign...
متن کاملMorphologic Changes in Pulmonary Emphysema.
I NTENSE INTEREST EXPRESSED BY CLINIcians, physiologists, and pathologists in pulmonary emphysema has stimulated the need for establishing some criteria for the normal anatomy and subsequent pathologic change. Regardless of the conflict in the theories of etiology, we must be cognizant of certain changes which take place in the pulmonary parenchyma. The fine relationships between structure, fun...
