Thoracic malformation with early-onset scoliosis: Effect of serial VEPTR expansion thoracoplasty on lung growth and function in children
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryThe effect on pulmonary function of serial VEPTR expansion thoracoplasty was studied longitudinally in anesthetized children with spondylothoracic dysplasia using a special mobile unit. The median age of 24 children at the start of surgery was 4.6 years (1.8–10.8) and most exhibited a moderate-to-severe restrictive lung defect. After a median of 3.2 years (1.0–6.5), their forced vital capacity (FVC) was found to have increased by an average of 11.1%/year. The rate of increase was greater in children who were younger than 6 years at the start of the study than in older children (14.5% versus 6.5%, p < 0.01). The average specific respiratory system compliance (Crs) was mildly-to-moderately decreased at the start, and over the study it decreased on average to 56% of the initial value in spite of clinically successful expansion thoracoplasty and lung growth, indicating increasing stiffness of the thorax with growth.
