연구배경: Auto-PEEP 혹은 intrinsic PEEP은 호기말에 폐용적이 전체 호흡기계의 이완 용적으로 돌아오지 않음으로써, 증가된 호흡기계의 탄성반도압만큼 호기말 폐포내압(alveolar pressure) 이양의 값을 보이는 것을 말한다. Auto-PEEP 이 존재하는 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에게 externa1 PEEP을 적용하면 환자의 호흡 일을 줄일 수 있어서, 질환의 급성악화시 혹은 기계호흡으로부터의 이탈시 환자의 자발호흡을 보조하기 위한 요법으로 제시되고 있다. 이에 기계호흡중인 환자에서 auto-PEEP의 존재가 호흡 일에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, externa1 PEEP의 사용이 auto- PEEP에 의해 증가된 호흡 일을 줄이는지를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 호흡부전으로 기계호흡을 하고 있는 환자 15명을 대상으로 연구가 이루어 졌으며, 이들 7명에서 auto-PEEP이 관찰되었고(auto-PPEP군) 8명에서 auto-PEEP이 auto-PEEP군). 양군 간의 환자의 호흡역학적 지표의 차이를 조사하였으며, auto-PEEP이 존재하는 환자들에 대해 3cm $H_2O$의 external PEEP을 적용한 뒤 호흡역학적 지표들의 변화를 조사하였다. 호흡역학적 지표는 상시호흡량(tidal volume, 이하 $V_T$), 분당 호흡수, 분당환기량 (minute ventilation 이하 $V_E$), 최고흡기유량(peak inspiratory flow rate, 이하 PIFR), 최고호기유행peak expiratory flow rate, 이하 PEFR), 최고흡기압(peak inspiratory pressure, 이하 PIP), $T_I/T_{TOT}$, auto-PEEP, 폐 동적탄성 (dynamic compliance of lung, 이하 Cdyn), 호기 기도저항(expiratory airway resistance, 이하 RAWe), 평균 기도저항(mean airway resistance, 이하 RAWm), $P_{0.1}$, 환자에 의해 수행되는 호흡 일 (work of breathing performed by patient, 이하 호흡 일), pressure-time product(이하 PTP)등이었다.

연구배경 : COPD환자에서 질환의 중증도, 치료 반응정도, 급성악화등을 평가하는데 $FEV_1$과 PEFR이 중요한 측정지표로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 COPD환자에서 PEFR과 $FEV_1$의 일치성에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않아 PEFR 측정이 중증도 분류 검사로 사용이 가능한지는 모르는 상태이다. 방 법 : 2003년 9월부터 2004년 8월까지 건국대학교 병원호흡기 내과 외래에서 진료받은 COPD환자 125명을 대상으로 $FEV_1$과 PEFR을 측정하여 그 결과를 통계, 분석하였다. 결 과 : $FEV_1$ 예측치의 평균은 $56.98{\pm}18.21$이었고 PEFR 예측치의 평균은 $70{\pm}27.60$로 PEFR 예측치가 $FEV_1$ 예측치보다 13%정도 높게 측정 되었다. 두 검사 사이에는 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. COPD환자들의 나이와 PEFR 과는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 주관적 증상인 호흡 곤란과 PEFR 과는 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 결 론 : COPD 환자들에서 PEFR 을 이용한 중증도 분류시 $FEV_1$에 비해 경한 쪽으로 분류되는 성향이 있으므로 증상이 심한 경우 중증도 분류 해석에 주의를 요해야 하겠다. COPD 환자들에서 중증도 분류가 확정된 경우 추적 관찰은 PEFR 값으로 $FEV_1$을 대체하는 것이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

The asthma is a clinical syndrome having three symptoms; dyspnea, wheezing and coughing, due to the narrowing of trachea in pulmonary system. Specially the asthma is common in children. The study was designed to identify the effect of Kinesio Taping Treatment as to asthmatic children. The Kinesio Taping Treatment was used on the Pectoralis major and Posterior diaphragm of twenty five asthmatic children(19 male, 6 female) for the period from September 1, 2001 to September 20, 2001. Peak expiratory flow rate(PEFR) for the condition of pulmonary function was measured using the Pocket Peak and wheeling and coughing symptom were measured using questionnaire. The results of this study are as follows: 1. There were statistically significant differences between before using the taping and after the kinesio taping increase of the PEFR(p<0.001). 2 There were statistically significant differences between before using the kinesio taping and after the kinesio taping improvement of the wheezing sign(p<0.001). 3. There were statistically significant differences between before using the kinesio taping and after the kinesio taping improvement of the coughing symptom(p<0.001).

Objectives : Dyspnea is one of the most common symptoms that we meet, but so far there has been no research about the effects of acupuncture therapy on it. This study was performed in order to evaluate the effect of acupuncture therapy on dyspnea by means of using objective indexes. Methods : The effect of acupuncture therapy was assessed by analyzing the pulmonary function test (PFT) in 10 patients, who had suffered from dyspnea and had pain at the acupuncture point Tian-zong (SI11) when it was compressed by a finger, at our outpatient department. Each patient was treated with acupuncture therapy at both sides of Tian-zong. We compared the results of pre-treatment and post-treatment PFTs, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1.0), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). Results : FVCs of pre-treatment and post-treatment PFTs were $2.23{\pm}0.34(L)$ and $2.40{\pm}0.36(L)$ respectively (P<0.01). FEV1.0s of pre-treatment and post-treatment PFTs were $1.54{\pm}0.37(L)$ and $1.65{\pm}0.41(L)$ respectively (p<0.05). PEFRs of pre-treatment and post-treatment PFTs were $3.41{\pm}1.26(L)$ and $3.93{\pm}1.42(L)$ respectively (p<0.05). Conclusions From the above data, we conclude that FVC, FEV1.0, and PEFR in dyspneic patients have been improved after acupuncture therapy of Tian-zong, so acupuncture therapy of Tian-zong may relieve the dyspnea symptom.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate pulmonary function in patients with mandibular fractures and to determine the pattern of pulmonary functions in these patients. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of pulmonary functions in Nigerian non-smoking patients with isolated mandibular fractures managed at our health institution from December 2015 to June 2017. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), and ratio of FEV₁ to FVC (FEV₁/FVC) were measured for all participants using a portable spirometer just before treatment. The pulmonary indices were compared with the predicted reference values for Nigerians to determine the respiratory pattern. Results: Forty participants consisting of six females (15.0%) and thirty-four males (85.0%) with a female to male ratio of 1:5.7 were included in this study. The mean patient age was 34.5±13.1 years (range, 17-63 years). The mean FVC, FEV₁, FEV₁/FVC, and PEFR were 3.8±1.2 L, 3.0±1.0 L, 74.3%±13.8%, and 5.2±2.2 L/s, respectively. Comparison of data with predicted values revealed that 17 subjects (42.5%) had normal pulmonary function pattern while 23 subjects (57.5%) had features suggestive of obstructive and restrictive pulmonary function patterns. Conclusion: Isolated mandibular fractures presented with abnormal pulmonary function pattern.

Background: Patients with advanced asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have postural deviations such as thoracic hyperkyphosis, forward shoulder posture (FSP) due to an increase in head and cervical protraction, reduced shoulder range of motion and a corresponding increase in scapula elevation and upward rotation. Unlike congenital vertebral kyphosis that are permanent and rigid deformities with bony and other structural deformations which cause respiratory impairment, these deformities in these patients may be more flexible. Since the thoracic hyperkyphosis has been implicated as having adverse health consequences it is necessary to evaluated the relationship between thoracic kyphosis and cardiopulmonary functions of patients with COPD and asthma. Methods: It was a cross-sectional analytical study. Eighty-four eligible patients with COPD and asthma were recruited from the Respiratory Unit, Department of Medicine, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), and basic anthropometric parameters, pulmonary parameters, cardiovascular parameters, thoracic kyphosis (Cobb) angle and presence of respiratory symptoms of participants were assessed. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: There was no significant correlation between the thoracic kyphosis and selected pulmonary parameters (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1, p=0.36), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC, p=0.95), Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR, p=0.16), Thoracic expansion (TE, p=0.27)/cardiovascular parameters (Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP, p=0.108), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP, p=0.17) and Pulse Rate (PR, p=0.93) as well as the respiratory symptoms (SGRQ scores, p=0.11) in all subjects. Conclusion: There was no relationship between thoracic kyphosis and selected pulmonary/cardiovascular parameters as well as respiratory symptoms in patients with COPD and asthma.

Background: Focusing on the respiratory function for health effect indices, we conducted a cross-sectional study on workers who did and did not handle toner to compare the longitudinal changes. Methods: Among 116 individuals who worked for a Japanese business equipment manufacturer and participated in the study, the analysis included 69 male workers who we were able to follow up for 4 years. We categorized the 40 workers engaged in toner-handling work as the exposed group and the 29 workers not engaged in these tasks as the referent group, and compared their respiratory function test results: peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), vital capacity (VC), predicted vital capacity (%VC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second ($FEV_1$), and forced expiratory volume in 1 second as a percent of forced vital capacity ($FEV_1%$). Results: The cross-sectional study of the respiratory function test results at the baseline and at the $5^{th}$ year showed no statistically significant differences in PEFR, VC, %VC, $FEV_1$, and $FEV_1%$ between the exposed and referent workers. Also, respiratory function time-course for 4 years was calculated and compared between the groups. No statistically significant differences were shown. Conclusion: Our study does not suggest any toner exposure effects on respiratory function. However, the number of subjects was small in our study; studies of larger populations will be desired in the future.
