TY - JOUR T1 - Surgical procedures in emphysema: any impact on dynamic hyperinflation? JF - European Respiratory Review JO - EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY REVIEW SP - 96 LP - 99 DO - 10.1183/09059180.00010008 VL - 15 IS - 100 AU - M. I. Polkey Y1 - 2006/12/01 UR - http://err.ersjournals.com/content/15/100/96.abstract N2 - Bullectomy, lung volume reduction surgery and transplantation can palliate dyspnoea in emphysema. The available data suggest that their mode of action, at least with regard to pulmonary mechanics, includes beneficial effects on dynamic hyperinflation. In single lung transplant recipients, this may be asymmetric, causing native lung hyperinflation. ER -
