Analysis of lung volume restriction in patients with respiratory muscle weakness.
Open accessAbstract
We investigated pulmonary mechanics in 25 patients, 9 to 55 years of age, with a variety of generalised neuromuscular diseases and variable degrees of respiratory muscle weakness. The average degree of inspiratory muscle force was 39.2% (range 8-83%) of predicted. The lung volume restriction far exceeded that expected for the degree of muscle weakness: the observed decrement in respiratory muscle force should, theoretically, decrease vital capacity to 78% of its control value, while the mean VC in our patients was only 50% of predicted. Analysis of lung pressure-volume curves indicated that the two principal causes of the disproportionate loss of lung volume were a reduction in lung distensibility probably caused by widespread microatelectasis, and a decrease in the outward pull of the chest wall. Because it reflects both direct (loss of distending pressure) and secondary (alterations in the elastic properties of the lungs and chest wall) effects of respiratory muscle weakness on lung function, we conclude that, in these patients, the vital capacity remains the most useful measurement to follow evolution of the disease process or response to treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
