  • Title: [Paradoxical respiration in patients with chronic diffuse lung diseases and regional lung rheography for its diagnosis].
    Author: Zhukovskiĭ LI.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1994; (4):33-4. PubMed ID: 7984612.
    Abstract:
    The paper shows that some patients with disseminated pneumo- and pleurofibrosis and pulmonary emphysema, which have developed in chronic specific and nonspecific lung diseases, have severe local disorders of respiratory biomechanics, which appear as the paradoxical ventilation phenomenon It also indicates that these abnormalities can be identified by the rather easy-to-use and accessible technique, regional rheography of the lung. The significance of detection of the paradoxical local ventilation phenomenon for clarifying the mechanism responsible for ventilation disorders is illustrated by a clinical note.
