Abstract

Infection, pulmonary embolism caused by mostly deep venous thrombosis (DVT), hypoxaemia and drugs, used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), related arrhythmia, aspiration are mostly responsible for acute exacerbations of COPD. The incidences of DVT and pulmonary embolus were investigated in 56 hospitalised cases with acute exacerbation of COPD. DVT was diagnosed in six (10.7%) cases with coloured doppler ultrasonography (CDU) and in two cases whose examinations were not sufficient enough to diagnose or refuse DVT. Diagnosis of pulmonary embolus was investigated with ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy in eight cases of clinically medium–high-probable pulmonary embolus. Pulmonary embolus was determined in five cases (8.9%). Age, weight, height, disease course, pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases and haematocrit values of the cases did not predict the diagnosis of DVT and pulmonary embolus in our cases.

Abstract

Background: Air cysts or blebs in the lungs may predispose pulmonary barotrauma (PBT) by causing air trapping when there is a change in environmental pressure. The changes in the environmental pressure are also seen during hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT)., Aim: The aim of this study was to determine how patients were evaluated for pulmonary blebs or bullae, and PBT prevalence in different HBOT centers., Methods: HBOT centers were asked to participate in this study and a questionnaire was send via e-mail. A total of 98 centers responded to our questionnaire., Results: Sixty-five HBOT centers (66.3%) reported that they applied HBOT to the patients with air cysts in their lungs. X-ray was the most widely used screening method for patients with a history of a lung disease. The prevalence of PBT in theses centers was calculated as 0.00045%., Conclusions: Our survey demonstrated that (1) a significant portion of the HBO centers accept patients with pulmonary bleb or bullae, (2) although insufficient, X-ray is the mostly used screening tool for patients with a history of pulmonary disease and (3) the prevalence of pulmonary barotrauma is very low in HBOT.
