Three-dimensional imaging forced oscillation technique to assess position-dependent airway obstruction in relapsing polychondritis: A case report

文摘
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is characterized by recurrent systemic inflammation of the cartilages and is accompanied by central airway collapse. We report a case wherein three-dimensional imaging of respiratory system resistance (Rrs) and respiratory system reactance (Xrs) by using MostGraph (CHEST M.I., Tokyo, Japan), a forced oscillation system, revealed that Rrs and Xrs in the inspiratory and expiratory phases correlated with proximal airway collapse. The degree of difference in Rrs and Xrs between the supine and sitting positions reflected airway collapse more closely than did the pulmonary function test. MostGraph could be a useful tool for assessing airway collapse in RP.
