简要总结
Although single breath helium (He) dilution measurement (VASB) is currently used in pulmonary function laboratories to assess functional alveolar volume and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, the extent to which VASB reflects ventilatory and thoracic volume has not been prospectively determined in emphysema. We hypothesized that VASB underestimates rebreathe helium dilution volume (VARB), and plethysmographic volume (VApleth) as clinical and physiologic severity of emphysema increases.
详细描述
VASB, VARB, and VApleth were measured in 52 consecutive stable outpatients with clinical and radiographic emphysema. Thirteen patients with an obstructive ventilatory defect without emphysema (OVD) and 18 normal controls were similarly studied. All subjects underwent spirometry followed by whole body plethysmography and He dilution volume measurements; VASB and VARB order was randomized.

入选标准
- •All outpatients between the ages of 18 and 81 years referred to the Columbia University Medical Center Pulmonary Diagnostic Unit between 1/18/06 and 7/30/07 for full pulmonary function evaluation, and with an obstructive ventilatory defect on spirometry, were considered eligible.
排除标准
- •Patients who did not want to undergo the re-breathe diffusing capacity testing
- •Patients who could not give informed consent;and
- •Patients who were too physically compromised to undergo full testing including the re-breathe maneuver as deemed by our technicians.
结局指标
主要结局
Difference between DLCO SB alveolar volume and the total lung volume measurement from plethysmography
时间窗: 10 seconds
To test the hypothesis that DLCO SB underestimates DLCO derived by the re-breathe DLCO maneuver, and that VA SB similarly underestimates VA RB. Alveolar volume derived with the two maneuvers will be compared with body plethysmography, the gold standard of total lung volume measurement in patients with emphysema.
