1. Venous admixture/cardiac output ratio (Qva/Qt) has been measured in twenty-four healthy volunteer subjects of both sexes aged 20-71 years, at rest and during the steady state of treadmill exercise at two rates of work, and breathing air and breathing oxygen. 2. With oxygen breathing, Qva/Qt was considerably less during exercise than during the time subjects were taking either normal or deep breaths of oxygen at rest, and did not significantly increase with the intensity of exercise. It is postulated that the increase in ventilation during exercise opens most or all of those alveoli which, during oxygen breathing at rest, close because of critically low ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) ratios. 3. With air breathing, Qva/Qt fell from rest to exercise (especially in older subjects), presumably due to improved ventilation of alveoli at the lung bases. With an increase in work rate Qva/Qt increased in all age groups. This increase was not due to increase in the shunt fraction (Qs/Qt), nor to limitation of diffusing capacity; it arose from an increase in V/Q variance. 4. Equations have been derived for the prediction of normal Qva/Qt during exercise, with or without correction for the effects of increasing pulmonary capillary temperature. These effects do not materially influence the accuracy of prediction, but may be relevant to some of the interpretations. In particular, they provide a further indication that Qs/Qt probably cannot be measured by breathing oxygen at rest, even in deep breathing. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to review the radiologic manifestations of the hepatopulmonary syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed clinical records, chest radiographs, 99m Tc-macroaggregated albumin (MAA) perfusion lung scans, chest CT scans, and pulmonary angiograms of 10 patients with proven hepatopulmonary syndrome. RESULTS: Chest radiographs showed basilar, medium-sized (1.5-3.0 mm) nodular or reticulonodular opacities in all cases. CT was done in eight cases and showed basilar dilatation of lung vessels with a larger than normal number of visible branches. The vascular basis for these opacities was best appreciated on conventional CT scans of 10-mm sections. No individual arteriovenous malformations were seen on CT scans. High-resolution CT scans showed no evidence of interstitial fibrosis. 99mTc-MAA perfusion lung imaging, done in seven patients, showed pulmonary arteriovenous shunting in five. Contrast echocardiography confirmed intrapulmonary shunting in these five patients. Pulmonary angiography, done in four cases, showed subtle distal vascular dilatation in two and moderate dilatation with early venous filling in two but did not reveal any individual arteriovenous malformations. CONCLUSION: Chest radiographs in hepatopulmonary syndrome usually show bibasilar nodular or reticulonodular opacities. Conventional CT shows that these opacities represent dilated lung vessels. High-resolution CT is useful in excluding pulmonary fibrosis or emphysema as the cause of these opacities. 99mTc-MMA perfusion imaging or contrast echocardiography can be used to confirm intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunting. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of isoflurane and sevoflurane on oxygenation and shunt fraction during one-lung ventilation (OLV). Twenty patients undergoing lobectomy for lung cancer and scheduled for long-term OLV were enrolled in this study. Patients were allocated to treatment with either isoflurane or sevoflurane. Arterial oxygenation, shunt fraction, and hemodynamics were evaluated at the end of two-lung ventilation; 20 min after the initiation of OLV; 20 min after the application of 4-cm positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to the dependent lung; 20 min after 8-cm PEEP; and 20 min after the conversion from OLV to two-lung ventilation. There was no significant difference between isoflurane and sevoflurane with regard to oxygenation, shunt fraction, or hemodynamics during OLV. PaO2 values after the application of 4-cm PEEP increased from 131.1 +/- 11.8 mm Hg to 190.6 +/- 22.9 mm Hg in the isoflurane group (P < 0.05) and from 127.2 +/- 14.3 mm Hg to 192.4 +/- 26.9 mm Hg in the sevoflurane group (P < 0.05). The selection of either isoflurane or sevoflurane for OLV was made without regard to arterial oxygenation and shunt fraction. PEEP application to the dependent lung is useful for improving oxygenation during OLV, but 8-cm PEEP had no added effect compared with 4-cm PEEP. Implications: We compared the effects of isoflurane and sevoflurane on oxygenation, hemodynamics, and shunt fraction during one-lung ventilation in 20 patients undergoing scheduled lobectomy for lung cancer. There was no significant difference between isoflurane and sevoflurane with regard to oxygenation, shunt fraction, and hemodynamics during one-lung ventilation. The application of 4-cm positive end-expiratory pressure increased the partial pressure of arterial oxygen during one-lung ventilation. 相似文献

The effects of acute pulmonary hypertension on the fraction of cardiac output shunted through pulmonary arteriovenous communications have been studied in dogs as a possible cause of hypoxia following pulmonary embolization. Pulmonary artery pressure was increased twofold and then fourfold above control values by embolization of the pulmonary vascular bed with polystyrene microspheres. Quantitative measurements of arteriovenous shunt were determined from the fraction of 50 mu radioactively labeled microspheres injected into the inferior vena cava which passed through the pulmonary circulation into systemic vascular beds. There was no increase in the fraction of pulmonary blood flow passing through pulmonary arteriovenous connections, 50 mu in diameter or greater, with pulmonary microembolism when FIo2 was 1. There was a small increase in arteriovenous shunt fraction when pulmonary artery pressure was increased with an FIo2 of 0.21. Physiological shunt measured by the oxygen technique did not increase with pulmonary embolism, but total venous admixture rose significantly. Postmortem gravimetric measurements of lung water indicated pulmonary edema. We conclude that anatomic arteriovenous shunt channels have little physiological significance after pulmonary microembolism in the dog lung. The major cause of hypoxia immediately after pulmonary microembolism is ventilation/perfusion imbalance, probably caused by pulmonary edema. 相似文献

The alveolar-arterial O2 pressure difference (AaDO2) is composed of three parts which depend on inhomogeneities of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (AaD(distr.) 1), on size and distribution of the diffusing capacity-perfusion ratio (AaD(distr.) 2), and on the effect of the shunt perfusion (AaD(sh)). These three parts can be calculated for normal, hypoxic and hyperoxic breathing conditions if the inhomogeneities of the function parameters and the size of the shunt perfusion are known. The calculation based on experimental data in 28 healthy subjects shows the following results: (1) Under hypoxic breathing conditions the AaD(distr.) 2 due to diffusion dominates. However, even at alveolar O2 pressures below 45 mm Hg the AaD(distr.) 1 must not be ignored. (2) Under normal breathing conditions AaD(distr.) 2 may be ignored and will under pathological conditions become relevant only if the diffusing capacity-perfusion ratio is below 3.10(-3) mm Hg(-1). (3) Under hyperoxic breathing conditions the AaD(sh) is predominant. However, even with the inhalation of pure oxygen, the AaD(distr.) 1 contributes 10% of the total AaDO2. (4) When evaluating the methods of measurement of the O2 diffusing capacity and of the shunt perfusion the inhomogeneities of ventilation, perfusion and diffusion must be considered. 相似文献

We report on a 25-year-old cyanotic man who was diagnosed as having a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. His chief complaint had been shortness of breath since childhood. Polycythemia (Hb 21.4 g/dl) was detected during a health checkup at his company. A chest X-ray showed an abnormal mass in the left lung. Blood gas analysis showed severe hypoxia with PaO2 of 38.6 mmHg at room air. Angio-CT showed a large aneurysmal lesion at S6 of the left lung with a large feeding artery and vein. Oxygen saturation was 75.2% in the radial artery and 62.5% in the right atrium. The right-to-left shunt ratio was therefore calculated as 62%. The aneurysmal lesion was resected by segmentectomy of the left S6 following division of A6 and V6. After a successful operation, the patient no longer had shortness of breath or cyanosis and blood gas analysis showed PaO2 as 84.3 mmHg at room air. Pulmonary angiography showed no residual shunt lesion. 相似文献

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a known pulmonary and bronchial vasodilator as well as an oxygen free radical scavenger. Since its effect as an additive to University of Wisconsin (UW) solution for lung preservation has been shown previously, the aim of this study was to determine the ability of VIP to improve lung preservation followed by reperfusion. Four groups of excised Sprague-Dawley rat lungs (n = 24) were studied using an isolated blood perfused working lung model. The first 3 groups of lungs were flushed and stored in UW solution at 4 degrees C for: (1) 4 hr, (2) 18 hr, and (3) 24 hr. Group 4 lungs were flushed with UW solution + VIP (1 microgram/ml) and stored in UW solution + VIP (0.5 microgram/ml) for 24 hr. After preservation, the lungs were reperfused to evaluate their functions for 2 hr or until lung failure occurred (arterial oxygen saturation less than 90% and/or appearance of bronchial fluid in the bronchial cannula). In the lungs stored in UW solution for 24 hr, failure occurred after 10 min of reperfusion and all functions were significantly altered. The addition of VIP to UW solution maintained the functional capacity of the lungs, recorded by lung resistance, lung compliance, elastic work, flow resistive work, shunt fraction, and blood oxygen tension. No statistical difference in these parameters other than shunt fraction was found when the VIP group was compared with the group preserved for 4 hr in UW solution. We conclude that lung preservation can be extended to 24 hr with the maintenance of lung functional capacity if VIP is added to UW solution. 相似文献

AIM: To analyze the relationship between daytime respiratory and cardiac function in patients with compensated chronic heart failure (CHF) with and without periodic breathing (PB) or Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR). PATIENTS: We studied 132 patients (female, 13%; mean age, 53+/-8 years; body mass index, 25.9+/-3.5 kg/m2; left ventricular ejection fraction <40%; 23% in New York Heart Association class I, 43% in class II, and 34% in class III-IV). METHODS: Measurement of pulmonary function and blood gases, hemodynamic evaluation, analysis of breathing profile, echocardiography, recording of ECG, beat-to-beat arterial oxygen saturation, and respiration during spontaneous breathing. RESULTS: Fifty-eight percent of patients showed PB or CSR. Patients with PB or CSR have greater cardiac function impairment. Mean values of lung volumes and PaO2 were similar in the three groups of patients considered. In contrast, patients with PB or CSR had an increased minute ventilation and reduced PaCO2 values. Interestingly, patients with PB or CSR had lower values of arterial content of O2 and systemic oxygen transport (SOT) than patients with a normal breathing pattern (SOT, 394+/-9.8, 347+/-9.6, 438+/-11 mL of O2/min/m2, respectively; analysis of variance p<0.001). Weak correlations were found among lung volumes, blood gases, and cardiac function parameters: ie, vital capacity was correlated inversely with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) (-0.25; p<0.05); PaCO2 with PCWP (r=0.26; p<0.05), lung-to-ear circulation time (LECT) (r=-0.4; p<0.05), SOT (r=-0.33; p<0.0001), and cardiac index (CI) (r=0.27; p=0.003). Multiple regression analyses showed that arterial PCO2 was significantly correlated with SOT, LECT, and CI (r=0.51; r2=0.26; p<0.000001); the correlation became stronger considering only CSR patients (r=0.64; r2=0.4; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that patients with daytime breathing disorders have chronic hypocapnia. A reduced SOT may be one of the stimuli determining increased minute ventilation in these patients. 相似文献

To determine if ventilation (VE) during maximal exercise would be increased as much by 3% CO2 loading as by resistive unloading of the airways, we studied seven subjects (39 +/- 5 years; mean +/- S.D.) during graded-cycle ergometry to exhaustion while breathing: (1) room air (RA); (2) 3% CO2, 21% O2, and 76% N2; or (3) 79% He and 21% O2). VE and respiratory mechanics were measured during each 1-min increment (20 or 30 W) in work rate. VE during maximal exercise was increased 21 +/- 17% when breathing 3% CO2 and 23 +/- 16% when breathing HeO2 (P < 0.01). Further, the ventilatory response to exercise above ventilatory threshold (VTh) was increased (P < 0.05) when breathing HeO2 (0.89 +/- 0.26 L/min/W) as compared with breathing RA (0.65 +/- 0.12). When breathing HeO2, end-expiratory lung volume (% total lung capacity, TLC) was lower during maximal exercise (46 +/- 7) when compared with RA (53 +/- 6, P < 0.01). In conclusion, VE during maximal exercise can be augmented equally by 3% CO2 loading as by resistive unloading of the airways in younger subjects. This suggests that in younger subjects with normal lung function there are minimal mechanical ventilatory constraints on VE during maximal exercise. 相似文献

We present the case of a 51 year-old-white male with a giant right renal arteriovenous fistula secondary to a carcinoma. Neither the aorta nor the kidneys were visualized after the injection of 60 mL of contrast media into the abdominal aorta. Moreover, the right kidney could not be visualized after 30 mL of contrast media were injected selectively into the right renal artery. This was due to a great arteriovenous shunt through the right kidney. The right renal angiogram was obtained through digital imaging, after injecting contrast media into the right renal artery, previously occluded by a balloon-catheter. The image of an hypervascularized nephroma was obtained, depicting an important arteriovenous shunt of the contrast material toward the inferior vena cava from a fistula located in the right inferior renal pole. The occlusion of the right renal artery was partially achieved by injecting 40 mL of boiling contrast media, followed by small fragments of Gelfoam suspended in the contrast substance. The balloon-catheter remained inflated in the right renal artery until a nephrectomy was performed. As far as we know, a case in which the aorta and renal circulation are unable to be seen by means of conventional angiography, because of the presence of a renal arteriovenous shunt to the fistula, has not been described. 相似文献

The authors have studied chemical control of breathing in 37 normocapnic patients with OSA. These patients had increased apnea-hypopnea index (AHI = 51 +/- 22), obesity (BMI = 32.4 +/- 5.6 kg/m2) and normal lung function tests. Control group consisted of 20 healthy subjects with normal weight (BMI = 23.1 +/- 2.4 kg/m2). Respiratory responses (ventilatory and P0.1) to hypercapnic and hypoxic stimulation during rebreathing tests were measured with computerized methods. The obtained results in OSA patients were compared with the data of the control group. The results exceeding mean values of the control group above 1.64 SD were recognized as hyperreactive responses. The majority e.g. 26 patients (OSA-N) had normal respiratory responses during hypercapnic stimulation. delta V/delta PCO2 = 16.8 +/- 4.5 L/min/kPa, P0.1/delta PCO2 = 3.5 +/- 2.4 cm H2O/kPa/. In remaining 11 patients (OSA-H) respiratory responses were significantly increased delta V/delta PCO2 = 39.1 +/- 18.8 L/min/kPa, P0.1/delta PCO2 = 8.6 +/- 3.9 cm H20/kPa). During isocapnic hypoxic stimulation majority e.g. 25 patients (OSA-H) had significantly increased respiratory responses delta V/delta SaO2 = 3.28 +/- 1.63 L/min/%, delta P0.1/delta SaO2 = 0.54 +/- 0.43 cm H2O/%/. In remaining 12 patients (OSA-N) respiratory responses were within normal limits delta V/SaO2 = 1.2 +/- 0.28 L/min/%, delta P0.1/ delta SaO2 = 0.21 +/- 0.07 cm H2O/%/. The above results indicated, that majority OSA patients (67.5%) had increased ventilatory and P0.1 responses to hypoxic stimulation. Among them also 11 patients had increased respiratory responses to hypercapnia. It seems, that increased respiratory responses to hypoxic stimulus in OSA patients are symptoms of protective reaction to hypoxaemia occurring during repetitive sleep apnoea and reveals increased neuro-muscular output. 相似文献

Increase in lung size has been described in acromegalic patients, but data on respiratory muscle function and control of breathing are relatively scarce. Lung volumes, arterial blood gas tensions, and respiratory muscle strength and activation during chemical stimulation were investigated in a group of 10 patients with acromegaly, and compared with age- and sex-matched normal controls. Inspiratory muscle force was evaluated by measuring pleural (Ppl,sn) and transdiaphragmatic (Pdi,sn) pressures during maximal sniffs. Dynamic pleural pressure swing (Ppl,sw) was expressed both as absolute value and as percentage of Ppl,sn. Expiratory muscle force was assessed in terms of maximal expiratory pressure (MEP). In 8 of the 10 patients, ventilatory and respiratory muscle responses to hyperoxic progressive hypercapnia and to isocapnic progressive hypoxia were also evaluated. Large lungs, defined as total lung capacity (TLC) greater than predicted (above 95% confidence limits), were found in five patients. Inspiratory or expiratory muscle force was below normal limits in all but three patients. During unstimulated tidal breathing, respiratory frequency (fR) and mean inspiratory flow (tidal volume/inspiratory time (VT/tI)) were greater, while inspiratory time (tI) was shorter than in controls. Minute ventilation (V'E) and mean inspiratory flow response slopes to hypercapnia were normal In contrast, four patients had reduced delta(VT/tI)/arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2) and three had reduced deltaV'E/Sa,O2. Ppl,sw(%Ppl,sn) response slopes to increasing end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (PET,CO2) and decreasing Sa,O2 did not differ from the responses of the normal subjects, suggesting normal central chemoresponsiveness. At a PET,CO2 of 8 kPa or an Sa,O2 of 80%, patients had greater fR and lower tI compared with controls. Pdi,sn and Ppl,sn related both to deltaV'E/deltaSa,O2 (r=0.729 and r=0.776, respectively) and delta(VT/tI)/deltaSa,O2 (r=0.860 and r=0.90, respectively). Pdi,sn also related both to deltaV'E/deltaPET,CO2 (r=0.8) and delta(VT/tI)/deltaPET,CO2 (r=0.76). In conclusion, the data suggest the relative independence of pneumomegaly and respiratory muscle strength. Peripheral (muscular) factors appear to modulate a normal central motor output to give a more rapid pattern of breathing. 相似文献

We previously reported that patients with mild to moderate airflow limitation have a lower exercise capacity than age-matched controls with normal lung function, but the mechanism of this reduction remains unclear (1). Although the reduced exercise capacity appeared consistent with deconditioning, the patients had altered breathing mechanics during exercise, which raised the possibility that the reduced exercise capacity and the altered breathing mechanics may have been causally related. Reversal of reduced exercise capacity by an adequate exercise training program is generally accepted as evidence of deconditioning as the cause of the reduced exercise capacity. We studied 11 asymptomatic volunteer subjects (58 +/- 8 yr of age [mean +/- SD]) selected to have a range of lung function (FEV1 from 61 to 114% predicted, with a mean of 90 +/- 18% predicted). Only one subject had an FEV1 of less than 70% predicted. Gas exchange and lung mechanics were measured during both steady-state and maximal exercise before and after training for 30 min/d on 3 d/wk for 10 wk, beginning at the steady-state workload previously determined to be the maximum steady-state exercise level that subjects could sustain for 30 min without exceeding 90% of their observed maximal heart rate (HR). The training workload was increased if the subject's HR decreased during the training period. After 10 wk, subjects performed another steady-state exercise test at the initial pretraining level, and another maximal exercise test. HR decreased significantly between the first and second steady-state exercise tests (p < 0.05), and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and ventilation increased significantly (p < 0.05) during the incremental test, indicating a training effect. However, the training effect did not occur in all subjects. Relationships between exercise parameters and lung function were examined by regression against FEV1 expressed as percent predicted. There was a significant positive correlation between VO2max percent predicted and FEV1 percent predicted (p < 0.02), and a negative correlation between FEV1 and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) at maximal exercise (p < 0.03). There was no significant correlation between FEV1 and maximal HR achieved during exercise; moreover, all subjects achieved a maximal HR in excess of 80% predicted, suggesting a cardiovascular limitation to exercise. These data do not support the hypothesis that the lower initial VO2max in the subjects with a reduced FEV1 was due to deconditioning. Although increased EELV at maximal exercise, reduced VO2max and a reduced VO2max response with training are all statistically associated with a reduced FEV1, there is no direct evidence of causality. 相似文献

Exercise tolerance may be reduced in patients with cystic fibrosis, but it is not always possible to predict this from standard lung function measurements. Formal exercise testing may, therefore, be necessary, and the test should be simple and readily available. We have developed a "3-minute step test" and compared it with the standard 6-minute walking test. Subjects stepped up and down a 15-cm-high single step at a rate of 30 steps per minute for 3 minutes. The effect of the step test on spirometry was tested first in 31 children with CF (mean age, 12.0 years), who had a mean (range) baseline forced expired volume in 1 second (FEV1) of 64% (18-94%) of predicted values. The step test was then compared with the standard 6-minute walk in a further 54 patients with cystic fibrosis (mean age, 12.5 years), with mean (range) baseline FEV1 of 61% (14-103%) of predicted values. Outcome measures were minimum arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), maximum pulse rate, and the modified Borg dyspnea score. Post-step test spirometry showed mean (95% CI) changes of -1.1% (-6.0 + 3.9%) for forced vital capacity, of -1.6% (-4.2 + 1.1%) for FEV1, and +0.25% (-2.8 + 3.3%) for peak expiratory flow, although 5/31 children showed >15% drop in one or more parameters. The step and walk tests both produced significant changes (P < 0.0001) in all outcomes, with a mean (range) minimum SaO2 of 92% (75-98%) versus 92% (75-97%), a maximum pulse rate of 145 b.p.m. (116-189) versus 132 (100-161), and a Borg score of 2.5 (0-9) versus 1.0 (0-5), respectively. Comparison of the two tests showed that the step test increased breathlessness (mean change Borg score, 2.3 vs. 0.8; P < 0.0001) and pulse rate (mean change, 38% vs. 24%, P < 0.0001) significantly more than the walk, whereas the decrease in SaO2 was similar (mean change, -2.9% vs. -2.6%; P = 0.12). Some patients with a significant drop in SaO2 (>4%) would not have the decrease predicted from their baseline lung function. Reproducibility for the two tests was similar. The step test is quick, simple and portable, and is not dependent on patient motivation. Although the step test is more tiring, its effect on SaO2 is similar to the 6-minute walking test. It is a safe test that may prove to be a valuable measure of exercise tolerance in children with pulmonary disease, although longitudinal studies are now needed. 相似文献

The influence of PaO2, pH and SaO2 on maximal oxygen uptake 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
HB Nielsen P Madsen LB Svendsen RC Roach NH Secher 《Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly》1998,164(1):89-87
Influence of arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) and pH on haemoglobin saturation (SaO2) and in turn on O2 uptake (VO2) was evaluated during ergometer rowing (156, 276 and 376 W; VO2max, 5.0 L min-1; n = 11). During low intensity exercise, neither pH nor SaO2 were affected significantly. In response to the higher work intensities, ventilations (VE) of 129 +/- 10 and 155 +/- 8 L min-1 enhanced the end tidal PO2 (PETO2) to the same extent (117 +/- 2 mmHg), but PaO2 became reduced (from 102 +/- 2 to 78 +/- 2 and 81 +/- 3 mmHg, respectively). As pH decreased during maximal exercise (7.14 +/- 0.02 vs. 7.30 +/- 0.02), SaO2 also became lower (92.9 +/- 0.7 vs. 95.1 +/- 0.1%) and arterial O2 content (CaO2) was 202 +/- 3 mL L-1. An inspired O2 fraction (F1O2) of 0.30 (n = 8) did not affect VE, but increased PETO2 and PaO2 to 175 +/- 4 and 164 +/- 5 mmHg and the PETO2-PaO2 difference was reduced (21 +/- 4 vs. 36 +/- 4 mmHg). pH did not change when compared with normoxia and SaO2 remained within 1% of the level at rest in hyperoxia (99 +/- 0.1%). Thus, CaO2 and VO2max increased to 212 +/- 3 mL L-1 and 5.7 +/- 0.2 L min-1, respectively. The reduced PaO2 became of importance for SaO2 when a low pH inhibited the affinity of O2 to haemoglobin. An increased F1O2 reduced the gradient over the alveolar-arterial membrane, maintained haemoglobin saturation despite the reduction in pH and resulted in increases of the arterial oxygen content and uptake. 相似文献

We studied oxygen saturation (SaO2) using a pulse oximeter in 120 patients undergoing non-sedated diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The baseline SaO2 was 98.3 +/- 1.0%. During the procedure, absence of oxygen desaturation (SaO2 > or = 95%) was found in 56%, mild oxygen desaturation (95% > SaO2 > or = 90%) in 35%, and severe oxygen desaturation (SaO2 < 90%) in 9%. Age (p = 0.56), gender (p = 0.47), smoking (p = 0.35), hemoglobin level (p = 0.52), body mass index (p = 0.27), or total endoscopy time (p = 0.72) was not related to the degree of oxygen desaturation. These results suggest that oxygen desaturation is frequently observed during non-sedated diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy although severe oxygen desaturation, which may induce rare but serious cardiopulmonary events, is not common. Furthermore, we cannot predict in which patients desaturation will occur. We therefore recommend continuous monitoring of arterial oxygenation in all patients during the procedure. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has been recently used as pulmonary vasodilator without any systemic effects because of a rapid inactivation by haemoglobin. We studied haemodynamic and oxygenation effects during iNO administration in cystic fibrotic patients during preoperative evaluation and during anaesthesia for lung transplantation. METHODS: From March 1996 to November 1997, 35 patients received iNO (40 ppm) during preoperative evaluation in spontaneously breathing. 13 patients, who underwent double lung transplantation, received iNO (40 ppm) during the surgical procedures, after pulmonary artery clamping. RESULTS: In the preoperative evaluation a significant decrease of mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance index and intrapulmonary shunt, with an increase of PaO2/FiO2, were observed during iNO administration, compared to baseline in 100% O2. During lung transplantation a significant decrease in intrapulmonary shunt was noted. All the transplants were successfully performed without cardio-pulmonary bypass. In all procedures, after iNO administration, we observed no modification of systemic haemodynamics. In conclusion, our study confirms the pulmonary effects of iNO without any systemic effects in patients affected by cystic fibrosis during preoperative evaluation and during anaesthesia for lung transplantation. 相似文献

Twenty-one arteriovenous malformations were prospectively evaluated using magnetic resonance angiography and compared with stereotactic angiography. The goals were to establish the feasibility of magnetic resonance angiography, compare it to stereotactic angiography, employ magnetic resonance angiography in follow-up, and semiquantify flow. A correlative evaluation between flow and response to stereotactic radiosurgery was carried out. Phase contrast angiograms were obtained at flow velocities of 400, 200, 100, 60, and 20 cm/sec. The fractionated velocities provided images that selectively demonstrated the arterial and venous components of the arteriovenous malformations. Qualitative assessment of the velocity within the arteriovenous malformations and the presence of fistulae were also determined by multiple velocity images. In addition, 3-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiograms were obtained to define the exact size and shape of the nidus. This technique also permitted evaluation of the nidus and feeding arteries for the presence of low flow aneurysms. Correlation between the two imaging modalities was carried out by subjective and semiquantitative estimation of flow velocity and estimation of nidus size. The following velocity parameters were employed: fast, intermediate, slow, and none (arteriovenous malformation obliterated). In 19 of 21 (90.5%) arteriovenous malformations, magnetic resonance angiography was equal or superior to stereotactic angiography for flow quantification and visualization of the nidus. Only 2 of 21 arteriovenous malformations were better demonstrated by stereotactic angiography than by magnetic resonance angiography (failure rate of 9.5%). The nidus size in one case was clearly underestimated by stereotactic angiography and would have resulted in a geographic miss without magnetic resonance angiography. Seven post-radiosurgery arteriovenous malformations were evaluated for follow-up with both magnetic resonance angiography and stereotactic angiography. In 6 of 7 arteriovenous malformations, magnetic resonance angiography response matched stereotactic angiography response. Correlation of flow with outcome was carried out for 14 arteriovenous malformations using magnetic resonance angiography only. Interestingly, all nine arteriovenous malformations with intermediate or slow flow demonstrated partial or complete obliteration; whereas only 3 of 5 fast flow arteriovenous malformations achieved a response with a median follow-up of 10 months. This early analysis suggests that slower flowing arteriovenous malformations may obliterate faster after stereotactic radiosurgery and flow parameters could be employed to predict response. In conclusion, magnetic resonance angiography permits semiquantitative flow velocity assessment and may therefore be superior to stereotactic angiography. An additional advantage of magnetic resonance angiography is the generation of serial transverse images which can replace the conventional CT scan employed for stereotactic radiosurgery treatment planning.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

In this study, we show that oxygen regulates nitric oxide (NO) levels through effects on NO synthase (NOS) enzyme kinetics. Initially, NO synthesis in the static lung was measured in bronchiolar gases during an expiratory breath-hold in normal individuals. NO accumulated exponentially to a plateau, indicating balance between NO production and consumption in the lung. Detection of NO2-, NO3-, and S-nitrosothiols in lung epithelial lining fluids confirmed NO consumption by chemical reactions in the lung. Interestingly, alveolar gas NO (estimated from bronchiolar gases at end-expiration) was near zero, suggesting NO in exhaled gases is not derived from circulatory/systemic sources. Dynamic NO levels during tidal breathing in different airway regions (mouth, trachea, bronchus, and bronchiole) were similar. However, in individuals breathing varying levels of inspired oxygen, dynamic NO levels were notably dependent on O2 concentration in the hypoxic range (KmO2 190 microM). Purified NOS type II enzyme activity in vitro was similarly dependent on molecular oxygen levels (KmO2 135 microM), revealing a means by which oxygen concentration affects NO levels in vivo. Based upon these results, we propose that NOS II is a mediator of the vascular response to oxygen in the lung, because its KmO2 allows generation of NO in proportion to the inspired oxygen concentration throughout the physiologic range. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to demonstrate that the arteriovenous shunt at the arteriovenous crossing could occur in major retinal vascular diseases other than Takayasu disease. DESIGN: Clinical review of consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS: The authors studied 1885 eyes with retinal vascular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, branch retinal vein occlusion, central retinal vein occlusion, central retinal artery occlusion, Leber's miliary aneurysms, Eales disease, Beh?et disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus retinopathy. INTERVENTION: Fluorescein fundus angiography using a wide-field fundus camera (60 degrees) was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Dye transit from artery to vein through sequential angiography. RESULTS: The arteriovenous shunt at the arteriovenous crossing was found in 8 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, 27 eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion in the chronic stage, 2 eyes with central retinal vein occlusion, 2 eyes with central retinal artery occlusion, and 2 eyes with miliary aneurysms. The arteriovenous shunt was formed by a direct inflow from artery to vein, showing vasodilation and hyperpermeability, followed by obliteration peripheral to the shunts. The pattern of initial inflow was classified into axial flow and laminar flow, and the inflow became wider and more rapid in the advanced stage. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that the arteriovenous shunt at the arteriovenous crossing is not a unique phenomenon in Takayasu disease but rather is a basic pattern of retinal vascular reaction pathologic states. 相似文献
