Lung injury after thoracotomy.
Postoperative respiratory complications are the commonest problem after all types of thoracic surgery. The exact incidence depends on the type of surgery and the preoperative health and lung function of the patient, but rates of up to 50% are often quoted. 2 Most of these complications are diagnosed as either `pneumonia' or `postoperative atelectasis'. However, the role of microbiological patho...
متن کاملModification of Lung Compliance During Perfusion
Mechanical factors of lung ventilation have been studied under various conditions since the works of Rohrer,’ Wirtz and Neergaard.’ Clinical application was reached with the well-known papers of Dean and Visscher3 and Otis and others.4 Because of the resistances aroused by such a displacement, the action of a series of forces or pressures is required for moving a volume of a gas to or from the ...
متن کاملBilateral staged thoracotomy for multiple lung hydatidosis
BACKGROUND Hydatid cyst disease is still a problem in many countries. Surgical removal is currently the generally accepted choice of treatment for lung hydatidosis. However, operating on bilateral widespread lung hydatidosis is still controversial. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the results of surgical treatment in bilateral multiple hydatid disease of the lung. METHODS I...
متن کاملMassive pulmonary collapse during thoracotomy.

She had a past history of attacks of winter bronchitis and rheumatic fever at 12 years of age. Clinical examination suggested that the underlying lesion was stenosis of the mitral valve, and one month later the patient was referred to a thoracic surgeon for ...
متن کاملVariations in lung volume and compliance during pulmonary surgery.
Functional residual capacity (FRC) and breath-by-breath compliance of the ventilatory system (Crs) were measured in 10 mechanically ventilated patients during anaesthesia for lung surgery (pneumonectomy, lobectomy, lung or pleural resections or exploratory thoracotomy). In eight patients not requiring pneumonectomy, FRC of the lower lung decreased by 8 +/- 9% (mean +/- 1 SD) (P less than 0.05) ...
