Intrabronchial Electrocardiography A Preliminary
نویسنده
چکیده
The Einthoven hypothesis implies that differences in the conductivity of body tissues are not sufficiently great to invalidate the concept that the body is a homogeneous volume conductor. Some investigators believe the lungs are sufficiently poor conductors to make questionable the concept that the body can be regarded as a homogeneous volume conductor. Intrabronchial electrocardiography is presented as a possible method for studying this problem. In ten individuals without manifest cardiac disease the distribution of potential variations in the lungs as manifested by the QRS complexes corresponded approximately and qualitatively with the distribution of the QRS complexes recorded from the body surfaces.

متن کاملIntrabronchial leiomyoma treated by localized resection via bronchotomy and bronchoplasty.
There have been no reports of intrabronchial leiomyomas treated by bronchotomy and bronchoplasty. Most intrabronchial leiomyomas have been treated by lobectomy or pneumonectomy because of their chronic infection or advanced parenchymal destruction. A leiomyoma of the left upper bronchus was diagnosed correctly by bronchoscopic biopsy, and successfully removed by localized resection via a bronch...
متن کاملEffect of Intrabronchial Insufflation of Solutions of Some Inorganic Salts
Intrabronchial injections of isotonic as well as of hypotonic solutions of sodium chloride or even of distilled water cause no pulmonary lesions. Intrabronchial injections of mercuric chloride even in a dilution of 1:10,000 cause a marked pulmonary lesion. The lesion is not of an inflammatory character; it consists of congestion, formation of thrombi, and hemorrhage. Intrabronchial injections o...
متن کاملExpert opinion of mediastinal lymph node positions from an intrabronchial view
BACKGROUND The knowledge of the mediastinal lymph node positions from an intrabronchial view was important for conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA). The introduction of endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) changed the focus from the intrabronchial landmarks to the real life ultrasound images. However when all EBUS reachable lymph nodes are...
متن کاملIntrabronchial display of hilar‐mediastinal lymph nodes by virtual bronchoscopic navigation system
The description of precise intrabronchial positions for the sampling of mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes is critical to successfully perform conventional transbronchial needle aspiration. Previously published maps of mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes were primarily drawn based on experts' experience. We generated a virtual map of the most frequently sampled intrathoracic lymph nodes from an intrabronc...
