[Value of right cardiac microcatheterization in the prescription and control of oxygen therapy in chronic respiratory insufficiency].
The authors studied 24 patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency divided in 2 groups, one of them subjected to long lasting oxygen therapy. They studied the correlations between the variations of hemodynamic and non dynamic parameters registered during a previous assay of oxygen therapy and those observed during the evolution so as to deduct criteria of prescription of a long lasting oxygen therapy. They stress the importance of microcatheterism at the beginning. On the other hand if it suggests the indication for a controlable oxygenation, the ponctual assays of oxygen therapy, such as defined, present no interest where the appreciation of later successes of a long term oxygen therapy is concerned.
