Effects of postpneumonectomy distention on pulmonary compliance and vascular resistance
The American Surgeon
|December 1, 1979
Abstract:
Postpneumonectomy pulmonary distention has been considered harmful by many clinicians. We measured changes in pulmonary compliance and vascular resistance with distention in five dogs. There was no significant change in compliance and vascular resistance in the range of pulmonary distention seen following pneumonectomy.
