The Chest Wall has Minimal Protecting Effect on
the Lungs in Situations with High Airway Pressures
Methods: We have built a respiratory system model with a recoiling
elastic lung and an expansive chest wall complex (rib cage, diaphragm
and abdominal container):

Background: Upper inflexion point (UIP) on a pressure-volume (PV)
curve of the respiratory system indicates the airway pressure where the
elastance of the respiratory system (Ers) increases steeply. However, on
an ordinary PV curve it is not clear whether this increase is mainly due
to distension of the lung or to restriction of chest wall expansion. In the
latter case, the chest wall would protect the lung against high pressure
by preventing an increase in transpulmonary pressure (Ptr). Therefore,
we investigated the PV-relations of the lung, chest wall and respiratory
system during a slow inspiration until pneumothorax occurred in lungs
from piglets during different conditions.
Methods: 10 anesthetized and mechanically ventilated piglets (25-30
kg) were subjected to hydroperitoneum (3 L starch-solution infused
intra-peritoneally) that in 5 animals was combined with lung lavage
(30 ml saline/kg, repeated until P/F < 200 mmHg). An esophageal
balloon catheter was introduced for esophageal pressure (Pes) measu-
rement. The tracheal tube was connected to the measurement device
for registration of PV-curves using slow interrupted insufflation1. The
lungs were insufflated from ZEEP to an airway pressure (Paw) where
the PV curve indicated pneumothorax. Paw, Pes, and Ptr at UIP and si-
milar pressures when pneumothorax occurred were recorded. Ers ,Ecw
and lung elastance (EL) were obtained as the steepest slope below and

increased with 43±14 and 41±14 cmH2O, respectively.

Materials and methods: After ethical approval, adult patients were
included into this prospective non-randomized observational study at
their first visit to a sleep clinic. The patients answered the STOP-Bang
screening questionnaire and underwent a portable polysomnography
(PSG). Data are presented as mean ± SD for continous variables and
median and range for categorical variables.
Results: 203 patients with a mean age of 55 years, BMI of 30,5 and
56% male were included. 89 % of the patients were positive at STOP
Bang and the median STOP-Bang score was 4 (3-6). An apnea hy-
popnea index (AHI) of >5 and >15 defining mild and moderate/severe
OSA was seen in 72% and 41% of the patients, respectively. The mean
AHI was 20 ± 22, oxygen desaturation index (ODI) 20 ± 20. There was
a good correlation between the STOP Bang score and AHI.
Conclusions: The STOP BANG screening questionnaire might be a
useful screening tool in the sleep clinic.

Bakgrund: Cirka 12 % av de patienter som genomgår kirurgi drabbas
av postoperativa komplikationer (1–3). Risken att drabbas av detta är
relaterat till ingreppets omfattning, patientens preoperativa hälsotill-
stånd samt det perioperativa medicinska omhändertagandet (4).
Syfte: Att utvärdera hur ofta ett team bestående av postopsjuksköterska
och anestesiolog identifierar behov av ytterligare behandling, provtag-
ning eller utökad övervakningsnivå efter utskrivning till vårdavdelning.
