Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction is a procedure that involves placement of valves into the lung to intentionally cause atelectasis to help with perfusion-ventilation matching. There are strict exclusion criteria, such as hypercapnia, that prevent patients from qualifying for the procedure based on the early trials. We present a case of a patient that became a candidate for the procedure after utilizing AVAPS after BPAP failed to lower his PCO2 to qualify for the procedure. Additionally, newer studies show that patients who are hypercapnic might benefit from the procedure to improve hypercapnia.
支气管镜肺减容术是一种将瓣膜置入肺部以故意造成肺不张,从而帮助改善通气灌注匹配的手术。该手术存在严格的排除标准,如高碳酸血症,这使得基于早期试验结果,患者不符合手术条件。我们报告了一例患者,在双水平气道正压通气(BPAP)未能降低其二氧化碳分压(PCO₂)以符合手术条件后,使用自适应通气辅助压力支持(AVAPS)后该患者成为了该手术的候选对象。此外,最新研究表明,高碳酸血症患者可能从该手术中获益,以改善高碳酸血症。
