[Usefulness of volumetric studies in the evaluation of respiratory efficiency in nervous system diseases].

In nervous system diseases impairing the efficiency of respiratory muscles the authors determined vital capacity, minute ventilation and respiratory capacity. On the basis of volumetric investigations the authors tried to find an optimal schedule for administration of drugs in myasthenia and determine the usefulness of volumetric and gasometric measurements for the evaluation of respiratory efficiency in neurological diseases.

[Complications arising from the use of controlled respiration in patients with neurological diseases].

The authors applied controlled respiration in 112 cases of central nervous system diseases, polyneuropathies and myasthenia. During clinical observation or on autopsy in 30 cases complications were found in the form of subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema or pneumothorax, narrowing or chondromalacis of the trachea, granuloma formation, decubitus ulcers in the trachea with or without bleeding, and haemorrhagic-ulcerative tracheitis. In 7 cases (6.25%) these complications caused death. Factors leading to complications and their prevention are discussed.

Studies on acute lung lymphatic edema.

The outflow from lymphatic vessels running along with the right cardinal bronchus was interrupted in six dogs by the removal of the corresponding hilar lymph nodes. After 6-8 days the right lung showed slight subpleural areas of atelectasis and edema. Edema of endothelial cells of the lung septal capilaries was observed electron-microscopically. This lesion is similar to the findings in cases of mitral stenosis.
