摘要
Comparative measurements of functional residual capacity (FRC) made by plethysmography (FRC(pleth)) and by helium dilution (FRC(He)) were obtained on 27 infants and young children without known pulmonary disease (14 males, 13 females; 4 weeks-26 months; mean age 32.2 weeks) while under chloral hydrate sedation. Clinical histories, clinical examinations, and pulmonary functions were normal for all members of the group. FRC(pleth), whether measured near end expiration (EE) or near end inspiration (EI), and corrected to mean expiratory levels of at least 3 breathing cycles, was consistently and significantly greater than FRC(He). Comparative values for mean (+/- standard deviation) were FRC(pleth) EE, 182.0 (+/-79.7) mt and FRC(pleth) EI, 171.8 (+/-77.4) mt vs. FRC(He), 154 (+/-72.2) mt, P < 0.0001 and P < 0.005, respectively. Normalizing values by weight, FRC(pleth) EE was 23.8 mL/kg (+/-5.3) vs. FRC(He), 20.2 (+/-4.7) mL/kg, mean (+/- standard deviation). The difference between FRC(pleth) and FRC(He), expressed as FRC(pleth) - FRC(He)/FRC(pleth) x 100, was 9% for occlusions at end inspiration and 16% for occlusions at end expiration. The following equations describe our FRC results in relation to length: In (FRC(He) = 2.74 x In (length) - 6.53 r(2) = 0.781 slope = 2.74 +/- 0.29 SE Y intercept = 6.53 +/- 1.12 SE In (FRC(Pleth) EI) = 2.69 x In (length) - 6.21 r(2) = 0.752 slope = 2.69 +/- 0.31 SE Y intercept = 6.21 +/- 1.29 SE The difference between FRC(pleth) and FRC(He) was more marked when occlusions were performed at end expiration than at end inspiration. We conclude that normal infants and young children, at least when studied supine and sedated, have a small but significant amount of airway closure. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
