Abstract

The aims of this study were 1. To evaluate the measurement of resistance by interruption (Rint) of bronchoconstriction induced by inhalation of methacholine and 2. To determine a threshold of increase of resistance in young children to differentiate responders from non-responders. Forty-six children (mean age 5 [4.3-6.1] years) referred for methacholine challenge were tested by measurement of Rint and transcutaneous oxygen tension. A fall of 20% or more in oxygen tension from the baseline was used to define the responders. The children studied had a baseline Rint significantly higher than normal (0.84 [0.68-1.01] vs. 0.76 [0.60-0.90] kPa L(-1)s; p < 0.03). Forty-one children were responders and had an increase in Rint significantly different from the non-responders (p < 0/04). An increase in Rint of 35% distinguished responders from non-responders in young children with chronic cough. Interrupter resistance increases significantly during bronchial provocation in responding young children and may be used to measure the degree of bronchoconstriction.

Abstract

Between 1977 and 1990, 11 children with carinal bronchogenic cysts were operated in our institution: 8 girls and 3 boys, ranging in age from 1 month to 5 years. All were symptomatic (acute respiratory distress and recurrent bronchiolitis). Chest X-ray showed an unilateral over distension in 10/11 cases. Barium oesophagogram showed a compression in 6/10 cases. Bronchoscopy noticed an extrinsic compression in 10/11 cases and a tracheal and/or bronchial diskinesia in 5/11 cases. The computed tomography showed a low density mass in 4/4 cases. 9 cysts were left-sided and 2 right-sided. Both children underwent a second surgery for a second cyst. 2 pneumonectomies for complete parenchyma destruction were realised. 1 left pulmonary hypoplasia was noticed. A tracheal and/or bronchial diskinesia in post-operative was noticed in 5/6 cases. The clinical and functional respiratory following was good in 10/11 cases. An early surgery treatment is necessary before definitive sequelae.
