Pulmonary water content in critical illness.

Pulmonary extravascular water content was measured using a double indicator technique and results compared with chest radiography. It is concluded that careful chest radiography is an effective and simple technique for assessing the pulmonary extravascular water content.

Post-operative respiratory function: a ventilation-perfusion study.

Many studies have shown that after uncomplicated abdominal surgery arterial hypoxaemia frequently occurs because of regional underventilation in relation to perfusion. This paper produced evidence that shows a small increase in physiological dead space to tidal volume ratio following general anaesthesia for abdominal surgery. This increase is thought to be due to tachypnoea rather than alteration in pulmonary blood flow.

Pulmonary oedema in chronic bronchitis - a haemodynamic study.

Right heart catheterization was performed in ten patients with pulmonary oedema. Mean wedge pressures in excess of 12 mmHg above the mid-axillary line were regarded as abnormal and indicating left heart failure. If the wedge pressure was less than 12 mmHg, and pulmonary congestion was present, frusemide was given. Brief descriptions of the ten cases are given.
