To investigate microhemocirculation in patients with bronchopulmonary pathology with application of Doppler flowmetry (DFM).
Videobronchoscopy (Olimpas or Pentax devices) was performed in 203 patients with bronchitis of different inflammation intensity: Functional activity of microhemocirculation in bronchial mucosa was studied with endobronchial laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) which was also made in 20 healthy controls.
LDF-grams demonstrated that patients with chronic bronchitis and pneumonia have congestive regional microcirculation with low activity of components of microcirculatory bed, venous blood congestion, weak blood flow and tissue ischemia. High informative value of the method and its availability was shown by comparison of LDF-grams on treatment day 7 and 14.
High informative value of LDF procedure is found in diagnosis of vascular and intravascular microcirculatory disorders in patients with bronchopulmonary pathology.
