Ultrasonic Assessment

The article showed the results of ultrasonic assessment of topographic and functional diaphragm indices in patients with severe diffuse emphysema. They passed the selection for lung volume reduction surgery. The comparison of diaphragm indices was presented in patients with diffuse emphysema and control group of healthy volunteers. Dynamics of diaphragm condition was studied after surgical treatment. There wasn’t noted any statistical difference of diaphragm topographic indices as compared with the control group. There wasn’t shown a correlation between respiratory function indices and functional diaphragm indices, but it was noted a positive tendency in characteristics during quiet breathing.

ABSTRACT Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is an option for select patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current guidelines recommend LVRS for patients with appropriate physiology and heterogeneous distribution of emphysema predominately involving upper lobes. We present an unusual case of a 72-year-old male with an advanced COPD who suffered with recurrent exacerbations despite optimal medical management. He underwent a two-stage bilateral lower lobe LVRS for heterogeneous lower lobe emphysema via video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) approach. This resulted in a significant subjective as well as objective improvement in his pulmonary functions, 6-min walk distance and subsequent discontinuation of supplemental oxygen.
