  • Title: [Ventilation mechanics as an aid to diagnosis of early emphysematous disease (author's transl)].
    Author: Hussenet F, Thénault D, Friemel F, Larger C, Cannet G.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 1979 Dec; 130(12):697-701. PubMed ID: 539689.
    Abstract:
    Respiratory function in 27 subjects with at least one anomaly in ventilation mechanics suggestive of emphysema was compared with that of a control population by means of plethysmographic indices. Results showed that static compliance to CRF and compliance for a volume nil for the elastic properties of the lung on the one hand and alveolar compression for dynamic properties on the other hand, appear to be valid criteria for early diagnosis of emphysema.
