Η ΔΙΑΧΥΣΙΣ ΤΩΝ ΑΕΡΙΩΝ ΕΙΣ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΝΕΥΜΟΝΑΣ ΚΑΙ Η ΜΕΤΡΗΣΙΣ ΑΥΤΗΣ

Abstract

THIS STUDY DEALS WITH THE EXCHANGE OF RESPIRATORY GASES BETWEEN THE ALVEOLAR AIR AND THE CAPILLARY BLOOD, THAT IS THE DIFFUSING CAPACITY OF THE LUNG. THIS WORK HAS THREE SECTIONS. IN THE FIRST SECTION ARE DESCRIBED THE PATHOLOGIC ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY ASPECTS OF THE DIFFUSION OF GASES IN THE LUNGS. ALSO ARE DESCRIBED THE MOST COMMON DISEASES USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFUSING CAPACITY ABNORMALITIES, AS WELL AS THE USUAL CLINICAL AND LABORATORY FINDINGS IN THESE CONDITIONS. IN THE SECOND SECTION ARE INCLUDED THE DATA RELATED TO THE MEASUREMENT OF THE DIFFUSING CAPACITY BY THE VARIOUS CO METHODS. IN THE THIRD SECTION ARE GIVEN THE RESULTS OF MEASUREMENTS CARRIED OUT IN THE RESPIRATORY LABORATORY OF THE CARDIOLOGY CLINIC OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS. THE MEASUREMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT IN 22 NORMAL SUBJECTS AND 26 PATIENTS, IN THE SITTING AND SUPINE POSITION, AS WELL AS AFTER EXERCISE IN MOST OF THEM. THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED AND COMPARED WITH THE PREDICTED VALUES FOR BOTH NORMALS AND PATIENTS AS THEY ARE GIVEN IN THE RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY.

Η ΔΙΑΤΡΙΒΗ ΑΣΧΟΛΕΙΤΑΙ ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΔΙΑΧΥΣΙΝ ΤΩΝ ΑΕΡΙΩΝ ΑΠΟ ΤΑΣ ΚΥΨΕΛΙΔΑΣ ΤΩΝ ΠΝΕΥΜΟΝΩΝ ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΑΙΜΑ ΤΩΝ ΠΝΕΥΜΟΝΙΚΩΝ ΤΡΙΧΟΕΙΔΩΝ. ΠΕΡΙΛΑΜΒΑΝΕΙ ΤΡΙΑ ΜΕΡΗ. ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΠΡΩΤΟΝ ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΟΝΤΑΙ Η ΠΑΘΟΛΟΓΙΚΗ ΑΝΑΤΟΜΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΟΙ ΦΥΣΙΟΛΟΓΙΚΑΙ ΣΥΝΘΗΚΕΣ ΤΗΣ ΔΙΑΧΥΣΕΩΣ ΤΩΝ ΑΕΡΙΩΝ ΕΙΣ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΝΕΥΜΟΝΑΣ. ΕΠΙΣΗΣ ΑΙ ΚΥΡΙΩΤΕΡΑΙ ΠΑΘΗΣΕΙΣ ΠΟΥ ΣΥΝΟΔΕΥΟΝΤΑΙ ΣΥΝΗΘΩΣ ΑΠΟ ΔΙΑΤΑΡΑΧΑΣ ΤΗΣ ΔΙΑΧΥΣΕΩΣ ΚΑΘΩΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΑ ΣΥΝΗΘΗ ΚΛΙΝΙΚΑ ΚΑΙ ΕΡΓΑΣΤΗΡΙΑΚΑ ΕΥΡΗΜΑΤΑ ΑΥΤΩΝ. ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΝ ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΟΝΤΑΙ ΑΙ ΚΥΡΙΩΤΕΡΟΙ ΜΕΘΟΔΟΙ ΜΕΤΡΗΣΕΩΣ ΤΗΣ ΔΙΑΧΥΣΕΩΣ. ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΤΡΙΤΟΝ ΠΕΡΙΛΑΜΒΑΝΟΝΤΑΙ ΤΑ ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ ΤΩΝ ΜΕΤΡΗΣΕΩΝ, ΕΠΙ ΑΣΘΕΝΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΚΛΙΝΙΚΗΣ. ΤΕΛΟΣ ΓΙΝΕΤΑΙ ΣΥΖΗΤΗΣΙΣ ΤΩΝ ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΣΥΓΚΡΙΣΙΣ ΑΥΤΩΝ ΜΕ ΤΑ ΔΕΔΟΜΕΝΑ ΤΗΣ ΞΕΝΗΣ ΒΙΒΛΙΟΓΡΑΦΙΑΣ.
