Resumen

Se estudian dos grupos de sujetos jóvenes: uno de diabéticos (n = 10) y otro de normales (n = 8). Los volúmenes pulmonares y la conductancia asícomo los flujos aéreos son iguales en los dos grupos.

Solamente parámetros mecánicos pulmonares resultaron anormales, específicamente la presión de media inflación y la curva Pst/V.

Es conveniente el empleo del Vmax en vez de la TLC en la representación de las curvas presión-volumen para obviar factores no ligados directamente a la elasticidad pulmonar.

Los resultados sugieren que el pulmón de los diabéticos juveniles es elásticamente diferente del de los sujetos normales de su misma edad.

Summary

The authors study two groups of young people: one group of diabetics (n = 10) and one group of normal subjects (n = 8). The pulmonary volumes and conductance as well as air flows are equal in both groups.

Only the pulmonary mechanical parameters were abnormal, specifically the pressure of medium inflation and the Pst/V curve.

The use of Vmax instead of TLC in the representation of the pressure-volume curves is convenient in order to obviate factors not directly tied to pulmonary elasticity.

The results suggest that the lung of the juvenile diabetics is elastically different from that of normal subjects of the same age.
