Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of positive-pressure ventilation on dust removal in whole lung lavage( WLL).METHODS: By random sample method,21 patients with stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ pneumoconiosis were chosen for different WLL.Using the patients' own left and right lung was used for matched control study. The positive pressure ventilation was performed at the end of the 3rd,6th,9th and 12 th lavage in treatment lung( treatment groups). The positive-pressure ventilation was not implemented at the end of the 3rd and 6th lavage in the contralateral lung( control groups) but implemented at the end of the 9th,11 th and 12 th lavage. The recovery of lavage fluid,dust and dust concentration drained from 4th to 9th lavage were compared in the two groups. RESULTS: There was no statistical difference in the recovery of the lavage fluid in the 4th to 9th lavage in the two groups( P > 0. 05). The amount of dust and the dust concentration in the fourth lavage drainage in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group( P < 0. 01). The amount of dust and the dust concentration in the 6th,8th and 9th lavage drainage in the treatment group was lower than that in control group( P < 0. 01). The amount of dust and the dust concentration in the 3rd positive pressure ventilation were higher than that in the 6th positive pressure ventilation in the treatment group( P < 0. 01). The total amount of dust in the treatment group was higher than that in the the control group( P < 0. 01). CONCLUSION: In whole lung lavage,the positive pressure ventilation can accelerate the discharge of dust in the lung of patients with pneumoconiosis.
