Horizontal gradients in the distribution of ventilation and of regional vital capacities, as well as a reversed vertical, esophageal pressure gradient, were observed in a patient with a unilateral painful chest wall lesion. The distribution abnormalities disappeared after surgical treatment. These findings suggest that the interdependency between chest wall and lungs, and within the latter, between lobes, is an important factor determining the regional distribution of ventilation and the pleural pressure gradient in man.
在一名患有单侧胸痛性胸壁病变的患者中,观察到通气分布和区域肺活量的水平梯度,以及相反的垂直食管压力梯度。手术治疗后,分布异常消失。这些发现表明,胸壁与肺之间以及肺内各叶之间的相互依存关系是决定人体通气区域分布和胸膜压力梯度的重要因素。
