Static lung-lung interactions in unilateral emphysema.
Motivated by the introduction of single-lung transplantation into clinical practice, we compared the static mechanical properties of the respiratory system in six supine dogs before (at baseline) with those after the induction of unilateral emphysema. Relaxation volume (Vrel), total lung capacity (TLC), and static compliance of the emphysematous lung increased to 214 +/- 68, 186 +/- 39, and 253...
متن کاملUnilateral thoracoscopic reduction pneumoplasty for asymmetric emphysema.
OBJECTIVE We prospectively analyzed the surgical and functional results of unilateral thoracoscopic reduction pneumoplasty which we performed by choice in patients with asymmetric emphysema. METHODS Between October 1995 and June 1997, 119 emphysematous patients were examined and 34 were operated upon. Among these, 14 selected patients with asymmetric distribution of emphysema in the lungs und...
متن کاملA case of unilateral pulmonary emphysema.
The patient was a boy aged 6 years who came under observation after an attack of acute bronchitis in September, 1949. At the ages of 5 weeks, 2 years, and 3 years he had had bronchopneumonia, and since the age of 3 years he had been subject to recurrent attacks of bronchitis, which affected mainly the right lung. The boy was mentally normally developed, but slightly below standard height and we...
متن کاملDiaphragm mechanics in dogs with unilateral emphysema.
We studied dogs with unilateral papain-induced emphysema to answer two questions: (1) Do emphysema lung-apposed hemidiaphragm (DiE) and normal lung-apposed hemidiaphragm (DiN) have equal capacities for lowering lung surface pressure? and (2) Are side-to-side differences in intrathoracic pressure the result of unequal force outputs by DiE and DiN or are they caused by differences in their mechan...
متن کاملNew pathological findings in emphysema of childhood. 3. Unilateral congenital emphysema with hypoplasia--and compensatory emphysema of contralateral lung.
A quantitative study is here reported on the lungs of a child of 9 months with unilateral emphysema associated with hypoplasia, and with compensatory emphysema in the contralateral lung. The left lung was judged to show congenital hypoplasia because of the reduced number of bronchi and arteries, its small volume, and a total alveolar number less than that normally found at birth. This last was ...
