Changes in ventilatory and gas exchange pulmonary functions when the endobronchial valve block is effectively implanted to those with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis by L. A. Popova, E. A. Shergina, T. R. Bagdasaryan, N. A. Chernykh, N. F. Sidorova, O. V. Lovacheva

“…The level of PaCO2 increased in 7.0% of patients, and went down in 20.0% of them.After the successful endobronchial valve block, improvement of ventilatory lung capacity, determined by FEV1 increase, was more frequent in the patients who had it below the norm initially versus the normal level (23.4% versus 6.1%, p < 0.05), the same was observed in VC (47.3 and 14.3%, p < 0.05).If the endobronchial valve block is implanted for a longer period of time due to disseminated and severe tuberculosis, the frequency of positive changes of functional rates increases (according to values to FEV1, VC, Tiffeneau's test, PEF), as well as gas exchange parameters (according to РаО2, SаO2 and PaCO2). …”
