[Blood microcirculation disorder in patients with bronchopulmonary diseases and methods of microcirculation study]
Aim:
To investigate microhemocirculation in patients with bronchopulmonary pathology with application of Doppler flowmetry (DFM).
Material And Methods:
Videobronchoscopy (Olimpas or Pentax devices) was performed in 203 patients with bronchitis of different inflammation intensity: Functional activity of microhemocirculation in bronchial mucosa was studied with endobronchial laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) which was also made in 20 healthy controls.
Results:
LDF-grams demonstrated that patients with chronic bronchitis and pneumonia have congestive regional microcirculation with low activity of components of microcirculatory bed, venous blood congestion, weak blood flow and tissue ischemia. High informative value of the method and its availability was shown by comparison of LDF-grams on treatment day 7 and 14.
Conclusion:
High informative value of LDF procedure is found in diagnosis of vascular and intravascular microcirculatory disorders in patients with bronchopulmonary pathology.

Medical History
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
Primary Symptoms of COPD:
Blood Studies I: ABG and VBG
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) studies are crucial for assessing the lungs' ability to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, reflecting the patient's ventilation status. They also help understand the kidneys' capacity to reabsorb or...

Physiological Control of Respiration
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...
