  • Title: [External respiratory function in patients before and after saving lung resections].
    Author: Sokolova VS, Strel'tsov VP, Bronskaia LK, Semenov GI, Latyshev AN.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1998; (2):13-6. PubMed ID: 9613176.
    Abstract:
    External respiratory function (ERF) was studied in 129 patients with restrictive pulmonary processes (tuberculomas, infiltrative and cavernous tuberculosis) before and after surgery. All the patients underwent saving lung resections. Changes in ERF were examined by conventional and the new method telespirography. This technique detects general and individual pulmonary ventilation disorders, which underlie criteria for assessing whether patients with pulmonary tuberculosis can be operated on. The authors show that the outcomes of surgical treatment are determined by the baseline status of the respiratory apparatus generally and each lung specifically. Distinctive features of complicated and uncomplicated postoperative periods are identified. The benefits of the new method are demonstrated.
