Tracheobronchomalacia Clinical Trial
— PDTOOfficial title:
Pressure Dependent Tracheal Obstruction in Copd Patients
Background. Do pressure dependent tracheal obstructions (PDTO) often seen during
bronchoscopy in COPD patients affect pulmonary function tests and breathing symptoms?
Method. Model study. A garden hose was compressed from one side to simulate the posterior
wall of the trachea bulging into the lumen. For two obstruction lengths - 3 cm and 12 cm,
the hose was increasingly compressed in eight steps. Resistance was measured at each step
for airflows 1 l/s through 9 l/s, and digital photos of the luminal area were taken which
were used by a computer to estimate the cross sectional area reduction and the corresponding
distance between the bulging (posterior)and the opposite (anterior) wall (AP-distance).
Patient study. 104 stable COPD patients studied by pulmonary function tests and
bronchoscopy. The tracheal obstruction was observed during forced expiration and cough, and
the cross sectional area reduction was estimated using the results from the model study.
