[Generation and determination of pulmonary distribution disturbances (author's transl)].
Pulmonary distribution disturbances could be generated in patients with bronchial hyperreactivity by inhalation of a Falicain aerosol (Propoxipiperocainhydrochlorid); The inhomogeneities of ventilation and mechanics of breathing were determined by means of several simple and complex methods. Comparison between these methods of analysis of distribution shows that small alterations of inhomogeneity can be indicated also by simple screening tests. The results confirm the significant relationship between ventilation disturbance and pulmonary inhomogeneity. Distribution disturbance enhances both the obstructive and the restrictive component of a ventilation disturbance. These two components cannot be separated exactly by means of the parameters of ventilation and mechanics of breathing because of the influence of inhomogeneity. The generated disturbances of distribution and ventilation became regular after inhalation of an Alupent aerosol.
