Lung hyperinflation: foe or friend?
Breath-hold divers employ glossopharyngeal insufflation (GI) in order to prevent the lungs from compressing at great depth and to increase intrapulmonary oxygen stores, thus increasing breath-hold time. The presented case study shows the physiological data and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) findings of acute hyperinflation, deliberately induced by GI, in a breath-hold diver and discu...
متن کاملLung hyperinflation in airway obstruction.
*Dept di Science Motorie, University of Genova, I-16132 Genova, Italy. +Division de Pneumologie, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland. Since the early studies with inert gas dilution techniques, it has been known that residual volume and functional residual capacity are increased in patients with pulmonary emphysema [1] or acute asthma [2]. These findings were...
متن کاملLung preservation.
Better understanding of the mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury, improvement in the technique of lung preservation, and the recent introduction of a new preservation solution specifically developed for the lungs have helped to reduce the incidence of primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation. Currently, the limitation in extending the ischemic time is more often related to the ...
متن کامل[Lung hyperinflation after single lung transplantation to treat emphysema].
Despite preventive measures, lung hyperinflation is a relatively common complication following single lung transplantation to treat pulmonary emphysema. The progressive compression of the graft can cause mediastinal shift and respiratory failure. In addition to therapeutic strategies such as independent ventilation, the treatment consists of the reduction of native lung volume by means of lobec...
متن کاملHyperinflation: control of functional residual lung capacity.
Hyperinflation is the consequence of a dysbalance of static forces (determining the relaxation volume) and/or of the dynamic components. The relaxation volume is determined by an equilibrium between the elastic recoil of the lungs and of the chest walls. The dynamic components include the pattern of breathing, upper airway resistance and postinspiratory activity of inspiratory muscles. The resp...
