Resumen

Se determinó la capacidad residual funcional con el método de dilución de helio en 20 sujetos sanos jóvenes respirando aire y oxígeno 100 %, valorando la calibración y reproducibilidad del método. En posición sentado no se detectaron cambios en la FRC. En decúbito supino hubo una pequeña reducción (6 %) en la FRC al respirar oxígeno estadísticamente significativa (p < 0,01). La disminución de volumen con el cambio postural fue un 4 % mayor respirando oxígeno que aire.

La disminución de FRC al respirar oxígeno 100 % en decúbito supino se produciría probablemente por el colapso alveolar de las zonas con V'/Q' bajo, secundario a la eliminación de nitrógeno pulmonar. La repercusión que esta disminución de volumen pul monar tendría sobre el intercambio ga seoso sería mínima desde un punto de vista clínico.

Summary

The authors determined the functional residual capacity with the method of dilution of helium in 20 healthy young subjects breathing air and 100 % oxygen, evaluating the calibration and reproductibility of the method. In a sitting position, no changes in the FRC were detected. In dorsal decubitus position there was statistically significant small reduction (6 %) in the FRC when breathing oxygen (P < 0.01). The decrease of volume with the change of position was 4 % when breathing oxygen with air.

Probably the decrease of FRC when breathing 100 % oxygen in dorsal decubitus was produced by alveola collapse of the zone with low V/Q secondary to the elimination o pulmonary nitrogen. The repercussion that this decrease of pulmonary volume would have on gaseous exchange would be minimal from the clinica point of view.
