[Measurement of pulmonary function in laryngectomized patients].
Comparative study upon clinic, radiological and spirometric parameters in 30 laryngectomees, which were spirometric tested by means of a device either simple, cheap, speed and efficient, designed by the AA. These are the conclusions drown out: 1st. There is a poor correlation clinic-functional in patients with obstructive pathology (which command, in the AA's opinion an exploration of the respiratory function in all laryngectomees). 2nd. On the contrary, there are a good radiological and functional correlation in patients suffering for restrictive disease (here the assessment functional means the quantification of the restrictive process). And 3rd. The laryngectomees show a higher functional affectation and can be expected if related to the age and sex. The explanation is to be found in the intercurrent diseases and also in the infections following the larynx removal.
