[Morphological changes in lung tissue developing during controlled respiration in patients with severe neurological diseases].

Morphological analysis of lungs was carried out in patients dying in the Department of Neurology who were treated before death by controlled respiration with respirators. Changes in the pulmonary tissue included mainly atelectasis and chronic oedema. For a better analysis the material was divided into 4 groups. Group I included earliest changes with slight atelectasis and hyperaemia of alveolar septa. Group II comprised cased with advanced atelectasis and manifest oedema. Group III contained cases with hyaeline membrane presence. In group IV pulmonary fibrosis was found. These findings were similar to those observed in other patients treated with respirators.

[Controlled respiration in patients with severe neurological diseases. Syndrome of functional changes].

The investigations were carried out on a group of neurological patients treated by means of assisted or controlled respiration from respirators. Volumetric and gasometric measurements were performed and radiological examinations of the chest were done periodically. The obtained results suggest that neurological patients constitute a specific group with a more rapid fall in the values of VC and PaO2, increased alveolar-capillary gradient (PA-a) and decreased actual compliance delta t/ delta p.
