Pulmonary mechanics and diffusion after 'shock lung'.

Pulmonary function studies performed in seven patients who had recovered from 'shock lung' showed a highly significant decrease of diffusing properties of the lung, a slight loss of lung recoil pressure, and a borderline increase of residual volume with normal vital capacity and total lung capacity. Pulmonary compliance was normal. The interpretation of these findings is discussed.

Pulmonary function in metastatic carcinoma to the lung.

Pulmonary function tests, at rest and during exercise, were performed in nine patients with metastatic carcinoma to the lung. The results are compared to the usual characteristics of diffuse interstitial fibrosis. Differences also occur between the pure multiple metastases pattern and the lymphangitic one. Literature on this topic is reviewed.

[Regional distribution of ventilation and perfusion in the beginning chronic bronchopneumopathies].

The regional distribution of lung ventilation and perfusion was determined in five normal subjects and in patients suffering from chronic bronchitis or asthma with variable functional repercussion, and also in some cases of beginning lung emphysema. The system of detection under use is a scanning camera coupled with a computer. In the case of chronic bronchitis or of asthma, there exists, the more often, a redistribution of lung ventilation and perfusion from the bases towards the vertices. The alterations are less evident in the cases of emphysema submitted to study. The limits of the method are object of discussion. Its application to the early detection of bronchopneumopathies does not appear as possible.
