Abstract
ABSTRACT
Aim and Objectives: The functional residual capacity was given
the least importance than the other lung volume parameters.
Studies have revealed the restrictive pattern of lung disease in
patients with liver cirrhosis. We aimed to analyze the importance
of the functional residual capacity and other lung volumes of
cirrhotic patients.
Subjects and Methods: Forty (40) patients with cirrhosis
(Child’s-B) were enrolled in this study. The vital capacity was
measured by an instrument called V02 Max 22. The other lung
volumes which were measured were derived parameters. The
functional residual capacity was measured by the nitrogen
wash-out method.
Results: The measured value of the functional residual capacity
was below normal as compared to the reference value. The total
lung capacity and the vital capacity were positively correlated
with the functional residual capacity. The residual volume was
found to be increased in twelve out of forty cirrhotic patients.
Conclusion: The functional residual capacity can be determined
by the compliance of the lung and the chest wall. The patients
with a reduced functional residual capacity may be suffering
from dyspnoea, probably due to the restrictive pattern of the lung
disease. Hence, the reduced lung volumes of the subjects may
be due to the abnormalities in the mechanics of ventilation.
