Surgical procedures in emphysema: any impact on dynamic hyperinflation?
نویسنده
چکیده
Bullectomy, lung volume reduction surgery and transplantation can palliate dyspnoea in emphysema. The available data suggest that their mode of action, at least with regard to pulmonary mechanics, includes beneficial effects on dynamic hyperinflation. In single lung transplant recipients, this may be asymmetric, causing native lung hyperinflation.

Comparison of efficacy of long-acting bronchodilators in emphysema dominant and emphysema nondominant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between morphological phenotypes according to the predominance of emphysema and efficacy of long-acting muscarinic antagonist and β(2) agonist bronchodilators in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS Seventy-two patients with stable COPD treated with tiotropium (n = 41) or salmeterol (n = 31) wer...

When up to 30% of the diseased lung is surgically removed patients report a decrease in dyspnea and significant improvement in their quality ...
متن کامل[Lung volume reduction surgery for pulmonary emphysema].
Surgical treatment for pulmonary emphysema has received renewed attention, because many studies have demonstrated improvements in dyspnea and pulmonary function. After lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for carefully selected advanced pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary functional impairments, such as expiratory flow limitation, increase in lung volume, decrease in lung elastic recoil, impaired ga...
متن کاملThe clinical relevance of the emphysema-hyperinflated phenotype in COPD
The classification of chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) into clinical and pathophysiological subsets is not new, but increasing data is available on the relation of these different phenotypes to clinically meaningful outcomes. This review focuses on the “emphysema-hyperinflation” (EH) phenotype, which is characterised by a prominent loss of lung elastic recoil and hyperinflation burd...
متن کاملComparison between effects of pressure support and pressure-controlled ventilation on lung and diaphragmatic damage in experimental emphysema
BACKGROUND In patients with emphysema, invasive mechanical ventilation settings should be adjusted to minimize hyperinflation while reducing respiratory effort and providing adequate gas exchange. We evaluated the impact of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) on pulmonary and diaphragmatic damage, as well as cardiac function, in experimental emphysema. ...
