Lung transplantation is widely accepted as the only viable treatment option for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, the imbalance between the number of suitable donor lungs available and the number of possible candidates often results in intensive care unit (ICU) admission for the latter. In the ICU setting, critical care is essential to keep these patients alive and to successfully bridge to lung transplantation. Proper management in the ICU is also one of the key factors supporting long-term success following transplantation. Critical care includes the provision of respiratory support such as mechanical ventilation (MV) and extracorporeal life support (ECLS). Accordingly, a working knowledge of the common critical care issues related to these unique patients and the early recognition and management of problems that arise before and after transplantation in the ICU setting are crucial for long-term success. In this review, we discuss the management and selection of candidates for lung transplantation as well as existing respiratory support strategies that involve MV and ECLS in the ICU setting.

Purpose : We investigated the correlation between body composition and lung function in healthy adults. Methods : This study included 204 healthy adults in whom all measurements were obtained once, and all data were analyzed using the SPSS software for Windows, version 22.0. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to determine the correlation between body composition (represented by the total body water, protein mass, soft lean mass, mineral mass, basal metabolic rate, fat-free mass, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat percentage) and lung function (represented by the forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV₁], the FEV₁/FVC ratio, maximum voluntary ventilation [MVV], maximum expiratory pressure [MEP], and the maximum inspiratory pressure [MIP]). All measurements were obtained by two investigators to improve reliability. A significance level of α=.05 was used to verify statistical significance. Results : Among the lung function measurements obtained in both men and women, the FVC, FEV₁, MVV, and MIP were positively correlated with the total body water, protein mass, soft lean mass, mineral mass, basal metabolic rate, fat-free mass, and skeletal muscle mass in men (p<.05). The FEV₁/FVC ratio was negatively correlated with the total body water, soft lean mass, mineral mass, basal metabolic rate, fat-free mass and the body fat percentage (p<.05). Notably, the FVC, FEV₁, and MVV were positively correlated with the total body water, protein mass, soft lean mass, mineral mass, basal metabolic rate, fat-free mass, and skeletal muscle mass in women (p<.05). Conclusion : This study showed a significant correlation between body composition and lung function in healthy adults. In combination with future studies on lung function, our results can provide objective evidence regarding the importance of prevention of lung disease, and our data can be utilized in rehabilitation programs for patients with respiratory diseases.

연구배경 : 정상 성인에서 폐환기는 균등하지 않아서, 평상호흡(tidal volume breathing)시 폐상부 보다 하부에서 환기가 더 많이 일어나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 한편 유아에서는 흉곽벽이 단단하지 못하여 폐에 대한 견인력이 부족하므로 평상호흡시 폐저부에 기도폐쇄가 일어나, 폐상부의 환기가 하부보다 더 많은 것으로 보고되었다. 또한 성인에서도 폐쇄용적이 증가하면 평상호흡시 폐하부에 기도폐쇄가 일어나 폐하부보다 폐상부에 환기가 더 많이 일어날 수 있을 것으로 예상할 수 있겠다. 방법 : 이에 연구자들은 이를 증명하기 위하여 정상대조군 및 만성 폐질환 환자군을 대상으로 폐활량측정법(spirometry) 및 폐쇄용적(dosing volume)을 측정하고 환기의 불균형은 체위에 따르므로 $^{133}Xe$ 폐환기주사($^{133}Xe$ ventilation scan)를 정와위(supine), 좌와위(left lateral decubitus) 및 우와위(right lateral decubitus)에서 시행하여 좌우 폐의 환기비를 측정하였다. 결과 : 1) 대상 환자는 정상 대조군 7명(평균 연령$62.9{\pm}6.1$세), 환자군중 폐쇄용적 정상인 6명(폐쇄용적 정상군)(연령 $62.8{\pm}8.2$세), 폐쇄용적 증가된 7명(폐쇄용적 증가군)(연령 $63.0{\pm}15.3$세)이었다. 2) 정상대조군에서 FVC는 평균(${\pm}$표준편차) 추정정상치의 $104{\pm}11%,\;FEV_1\;120{\pm}16%,\;FEV_1/FVC\;112{\pm}5%$, 폐쇄용적 $86.9{\pm}12.5%$으로 모두 정상범위 이었으며, 만성 폐질환 환자중 폐쇄용적 정상군에서는 FVC $62{\pm}11%,\;FEV_1\;54{\pm}17%$ 및 $FEV_1/FVC\;84{\pm}23%$로서 제한성 환기 장애 소견을 보였고 폐쇄용적 $92.6{\pm}15.5%$이었으며, 폐쇄용적 증가군에서는 FVC $53{\pm}9%,\;FEV_1\;38{\pm}13%,\;FEV_1/FVC\;69{\pm}16%$로서 폐쇄성 환기장애의 소견을 보였고, 폐쇄용적 $176.1{\pm}36.6%$로 환기용적 증가군에서 폐쇄용적이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.02). 3) $^{133}Xe$ 폐환기 주사상 좌측폐의 환기량이 정상대조군에서는 정와위시 총 환기량의 $48.1{\pm}5.3%$, 좌측 하위시 $54.1{\pm}9.8%$, 좌측 상위시 $40.9{\pm}6.5%$, 폐쇄용적 정상 폐질환군에서는 정와위시 $44.6{\pm}2.1%$, 좌측 하위서 $58.7{\pm}5.6%$, 좌측 상위시 $31.7{\pm}8.3%$, 폐쇄용적 증가 만성 폐질환군에서는 정와위시 $48.7{\pm}4.5%$, 좌측 하위시 $41.7{\pm}9.4%$, 좌측상위시 $60.9{\pm}15.7%$로서 정상대조군과 폐쇄용적 정상 만성폐질환 군에서는 좌측하위시 좌측환기량이 정와위시보다 유의하지는 않으나 증가하였고, 좌측상위시 좌측 환기량이 좌측 하위시보다 유의하게 감소하였으며, 폐쇄용적 증가군에서는 좌측 하위시 좌측의 환기량이 정와위시보다 유의하지는 않으나 감소하였고 좌측 상위시 좌측의 환기량이 좌측 하위시보다 유의하게 증가하여 양환자군 사이에 상반된 소견을 보였다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로서 폐쇄용적이 증가한 성인 만성 폐 질환 환자에서 평상호흡시 폐상부의 환기가 폐하부보다 더 많이 일어나는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an uncommon disease characterized by progressive accumulation of lipoprotein material in the lungs due to impaired surfactant clearance. Whole-lung lavage (WLL) is the current standard treatment and consists of sequential lavage of each lung to mechanically remove the residual material from the alveoli. Although WLL is considered safe, unexpected complications can occur. Moreover, due to the rarity of the disease itself, this procedure is unknown to many physicians, and management of intraoperative complications can be challenging for anesthesiologists. Lung ultrasound (LUS) provides reliable and valuable information for detecting perioperative pulmonary complications and, in particular, quantitation of lung water content. There have been reports on monitoring the different stages of controlled deaeration of the non-ventilated lung during WLL using LUS. However, it has been limited to non-ventilated lungs. Therefore, we report the use of LUS in WLL to proactively detect pulmonary edema in the ventilated lung and implement a safe and effective anesthesia strategy. Given the limited diagnostic tools available to anesthesiologists in the operating room, LUS is a reliable, fast, and noninvasive method for identifying perioperative pulmonary complications in patients with PAP undergoing WLL.

연구배경 : 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환을 대변하는 폐기종에서 주요 기능적 장애는 호기의 장애이며, 최대 호기류량은 기도의 크기, 폐의 탄력반동압 그리고 기도의 함몰성에 의해 결정된다. 기도의 항몰성은 폐기종에서 기류를 제한하는 하나의 기전으로 작용하지만, 폐용적과 폐의 과팽창을 유지하는 기전으로 작용하여 가스교환을 증진시킨다는 주장도 있다. 따라서 폐기종에서 기관이 호흡에 미치는 생리학적 역할이 무엇인지를 알아보고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 방 법 : 1997년 1월 1일부터 8월 31일까지 보라매병원 호흡기내과를 방문하여 단순 흉부방사선검사, 체간용적기록계(body plethysmography)를 포함하는 폐기능검사 및 HRCT를 통해 폐기종으로 진단된 20명을 대상으로 하였다. HRCT에서 대동맥궁의 정상부위에서 기관의 단면적을 호흡주기에 따라 측정하고 이를 체표면적으로 보정한 값과 동맥혈의 이산화탄소분압 및 산소분압, 기도저항, 폐유순도 등 폐기능지표와의 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 폐기종에서 기관의 단면적은 호기시 동맥혈의 이산화탄소분압(r=-0.61, p<0.05) 및 산소분압(r=0.6, p<0.05) 그리고 매분환기량(r=0.73, p<0.05)과 유의한 상관관계가 있었지만, 흡기시에는 상관관계가 없었다(이산화탄소분압과는 r=-0.22, p>0.05, 산소분압과는 r=0.26, p>0.05, 매분환기량과는 r=0.44, p>0.05). 매분환기량은 상시호흡량(tidal volume)과는 r=0.45(p<0.05)로 유의한 상관관계가 있었지만, 호흡수와는 r=-0.31(p>0.05)로 상관관계가 없었다. 폐기종에서 기관의 단면적은 호흡주기와 상관없이 $FEV_1$ FVC, $FEV_1$/FEC, 최대 호기류량, 잔기용적, 폐확산능, 기도저항, 폐유순도 등의 다른 폐기능지표와는 상관관계가 없었다. 결 론 : 폐기종에서 호기시 기관의 단면적은 주로 가스 교환(gas exchange)의 지표들과 유의한 상관관계가 있었지만, 폐용적이나 폐의 과팽창을 시사하는 지표와는 상관관계가 없었다. 따라서 폐기종에서는 호기시 동일 압력점의 개념에 의해 발생하는 기도압박으로 기관의 단면적이 감소하고 이러한 현상이 기류를 제한하는 하나의 기전으로 작용하는 것이지 폐용적이나 폐의 과팽창을 유지시켜 가스교환을 증진시키는 것은 아니라고 생각된다.

Lung homotransplantation was performed in 15 pairs of dog. Methotrexate and R.E.S. blocking were used to prolong the survival time. Details of handling the transplant, operative technique and management of the recipient were discussed and following results were obtained: 1]. 7 dogs out of 15 dogs of homotransplantation of lung were survived beyond 3 days. In the group of dogs treated with methotrexate, the average survival was 8.5 days, and in the group of dogs treated with R.E.S. blocking, the average survial was 9.7 days with longest survival of 17 days. 2]. The causes of immediate postoperative death in homotransplantation of dogs were lung edema and disruption of bronchial anastomosis. 3]. The main causes of death in successful homotransplantation dogs which were survived beyond 3 days were infection of lung parenchyma and bronchial necrosis rather than the occurence of graft rejection. 4]. Graft rejection was not revealed even after 7 days of operation in the group treated with methotrexate as well as in the group treated with R. E.S. blocking. This finding made it suggest that the R. E.S. blocking may be effective to control the rejection reaction. 5]. Even though the pulmonary function of transplanted lung was revealed the evidence of severe impairment immediate after operation by bronchospirometry, it was increased gradually and 10 days after operation the minute ventilation and oxygen uptake were decreased 8%, 13% respectively less than pre-operative one.

In order to assess the method which is more sensitive one to detect the early change of lung tissue by the inhaled dust, we have performed the various medical examinations such as chest radiography, pulmonary function test, high resolution chest CT, brnchoalveolar lavage and lung biopsy used bronchoscope and ultrathin bronchoscopy examination to 48 persons. The control group were 8 persons who did not exposed to dust, 40 cases of the experimental group have professionally exposed to the mineral dust. The results were as follows 1. The total number of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage was significantly increased in all of the pneumoconiosis group classified by chest and high resolution chest CT. 2. The composition rate of macrophage to the total number of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was significantly decreased in all of the pneumoconiosis group compared with the control group. 3. The composition rate of neutophils and lymphocytes to the total number of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was significantly increased in all of the pneumoconiosis group compared with the control group. 4. The forced expiratory volume in one second ($FEV_{1-0}$), maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMF), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) were significantly increased only in the group of the progressed pneumoconiosis relatively. 5. We observed submucosal edema, anthracotic pigmentation and granuloma formation in transbronchial lung biopsy of the suspected pneumoconiosis (category 0/1) case which is thought to the early change of coal workers' pneumoconiosis.

Thoracic sympathetic ganglion block(TSGB) with alcohol is a traditional method for treating a variety of disease at pain clinics. But it is a difficult block to perform requiring both skill and experience. Therefore, we performed a thoracic endoscopic cauterization to evaluate the efficacy of this method. A patient suffering sever forearm and hand pain due to radius fracture of the right arm, one and half years earlier, was referred to several different orthopaedic department of various hospitals with continued aggravated symptoms. He was then admitted to our hospital's orthopaedic department. Our diagnosis, confirmed by thermography, revealed reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Patients was therefore referred to the pain clinic where treatment consisted of endoscopic thoracic sympathetic cauterization under general anesthesia. Patient was intubated with Robertashow 37 Fr. double lumen tube left sided. Left lateral and slight head up position was applied to make lesion side up. Incisions were made to penetrate trocas 5 mm diamether on 4 th intercostal space along mid axillary line and midclavicular line. Negative pressure suction on ipsilateral lung and CO2 insufflation under 10 mmHg was applied to reduce lung size. Cauterization on thoracic sympathetic chain at T3 level was done under endoscoic guide. 24 Fr. chest tube was inserted. Patient's symptoms cleared and he was satisfied with the results of this treatment.
