2 Background Overview Helium-dilution technique Principle of Technique Equipment Procedure and Calculations Quality Control Nitrogen washout technique Principle of Technique Equipment Procedure and Calculations Quality Control Measurement of TLC and RV Conclusions

3 Static Lung Volumes and Capacities FRC = amount of air at end-expiration during tidal breathing

4 Static Lung Volumes and Capacities Correct measurement of IC and ERV is crucial!

5 Background Techniques Dilution Techniques Helium (He) Single breath Multiple breath Washout Techniques Compressible gas Nitrogen (N 2 ) Single breath Multiple breath Bodyplethysmography Imaging Chest X-ray and CT

6 Single Breath Technique Principle patient inhales from RV a gas mixture containing a tracer gas After breathhold, he expires the gas completely The dillution factor allows to recalculate the total volume in which the trace gas has been diluted

7 Single Breath Technique Principle Expiration RV = 2 L Inspiration TLC = 6 L He Expiration RV = 4 L

8

9 Single Breath Technique Practical Use In conjunction with a measurement of TL,CO Underestmates true lung volume in subjects with airflow limitation Not recommended (ERS 1993 recommentations on lung volumes) V A < TLC He < TLC Pleth

10 Overview Background Helium dilution technique Principle of Technique Equipment Procedure and Calculations Quality Control Nitrogen washout technique Principle of Technique Equipment Procedure and Calculations Quality Control Measurement of TLC and RV Conclusions

11 Helium Dilution Technique Principle To measure an unknown volume from the dilution of a known volume and concentration of a tracer gas, Helium (or another poorly soluble gas)

12 Helium Dilution Technique Principle volume? 500 mg

13 Helium Dilution Technique Principle patient is connected to a spirometer CO 2 is absorbed by soda lime O 2 is added to replace the subject's oxygen consumption Test gas air added O 2 (25-30%) He (10%)

16

17 Helium Dilution Technique Principle Initial amount of He = Final amount of He closed system [He] I x V s = [He] F x V F V F = V s + V TUB + V L V L = V F V s V TUB FRC = [He] I x V s V s V TUB [He] F

18 Helium Dilution Technique Add a known volume of gas to the spirometer containing concentration of Helium Open the breathing valve and allow the subject to inhale and exhale Gas from the spirometer will equilibrate with the air in the lungs Helium is now distributed equally in both the lungs and spirometer Measure final Helium concentration (< 5%) Measured volume is the lung volume at the instant the breathing valve was opened

19

20 Helium Dilution Technique Principle of technique Equipment Procedures and calculations Quality control

21 Helium Dilution Technique Procedures and Calculations I Check activity of the CO 2 absorber in spirometer Check activity of CO 2 and H 2 O absorber in Helium analyser Warm-up the Helium analyser Turn on the circulating fan

22 Helium Dilution Technique Procedures and Calculations III Ask about perforated eardrum ---) earplug Patient is seated, wearing a nose clip Patient is connected to mouthpiece breathing quietly for sec Wait for stable end-tidal expiratory level Switch the valve and connect the patient to the closed system at the end of a normal expiration

23 Helium Dilution Technique Procedures and Calculations IV Add O 2 (constant flow or bolus) to keep volume of spirometer constant at FRC O 2 is added to compensate for O 2 consumption CO 2 is absorbed

24 Helium Dilution Technique Procedures and Calculations VI Criteria for end of testing the decrement in He concentration < 0.02% in 30 sec or change in FRC < 40 ml in 30 sec Procedure rarely exceeds 10 min

25 Helium Dilution Technique Procedures and Calculations VII After meeting the end of test criterium determine the stability of FRC (several breaths) instruct to exhale slowly and fully to RV instruct the patient to inhale completely to TLC at least one satisfactory test should be obtained in adults two or more satisfactory tests within 10% should be obtained in children / in research

26

27 Helium Dilution Technique Duplicate Analysis Coefficient of variation for FRC 5% in normal subjects 6% in COPD patients 95% C.I. ± 400 ml 85% within 200 ml Single measurement, unless special circumstances 3 measurements, if two tests do not agree within 200 ml 5 to 8 [10-20] min between measurements

28 Helium Loss ----) leads to overestimation of FRC absorption of Helium into the body no corrections excretion of N 2 no corrections equipment leaks -> check before test swallowing - leaks around nose clip/mouthpiece -> be attentive ruptured tympanic membranes -> ask the patient

29 Helium Dilution Technique Switching Error Patient is not always switched exactly at end-expiratory level LUNG VOLUME SPIROMETER VOLUME Correction should be made

30 Helium Dilution Technique Changes in Lung Volume Patient is sometimes encouraged to take intermittent deep inhalations not recommended in patients with airways obstruction, because: it may take several breaths to return to the original FRC it may cause errors in addition of O 2

31 Helium Dilution Technique Principle of technique Equipment Procedures and calculations Quality control

32 Helium Dilution Technique Quality Control After each measurement Inspection of volume-time tracings switch-in and switch-out volume > 300 ml suggests leaks Mention time for equilibration for each patient

33 Background Overview Helium dilution technique Principle of Technique Equipment Procedure and Calculations Quality Control Nitrogen washout technique Principle of Technique Equipment Procedure and Calculations Quality Control Measurement of TLC and RV Conclusions

34 Nitrogen Washout Technique Principle To measure an unknown volume from the washout of a known volume and concentration of a nitrogen

35 20% 80% How many balls?

36 How many balls? Red balls = 80% total amount

37 How many balls? Red balls = 80% total amount

38 Nitrogen Washout Technique Principle of Closed Circuit Method patient connected to a spirometer, inhales 100% O 2 during inspiration the expired volume of air is collected in a large bag or Tissot spirometer (± 120 L) lung volume is derived from expired volume and N 2 concentration in the large bag

39 100% O 2

40

41 Nitrogen Washout Technique Principle of Closed Circuit Method Initial amount of N 2 in lung = Final amount of N 2 in bag [N 2 ] I = 0.80 N 2 in lung = 0.80 x V L = [N 2 ] F x V b FRC = V L = [N 2 ] F x V b 0.80 Remarks: [N 2 ] F > 0 N 2 stores in tissue: ± 220 ml = ((BSA x 96.5) + 35)/08 ml) FRC = [N 2 ]F x V b 220 ml [N 2 ]I [N 2 ]F

42 Nitrogen Washout Technique Methodology Gas collection method [N 2 ] F might be very low Inaccuracy in determining [N 2 ] F Inaccuracy in determining bag volume Open circuit methods Immediate analysis of expired gas Frequent gas analysis and flow sampling Real time data processing Integration of data

44 O 2 Measurement of flow Integration of flow over time --> volume Continuous sampling On-line measurement of N 2 fraction 40 samples/sec 1 sample/25 msec

45 O 2 Measurement of flow Integration of flow over time --> volume Measurement of N 2 fraction

46 O 2 Measurement of flow Integration of flow over time --> volume Measurement of N 2 fraction (over 25 msec) N 2 fraction = 40%

47 O 2 Measurement of flow Integration of flow over time --> volume Measurement of N 2 fraction N 2 fraction = 40%

48 O 2 Measurement of flow Integration of flow over time --> volume Measurement of N 2 fraction N 2 fraction = 40%

49 O 2 Measurement of flow flow x time = volume e.g. volume = 5 ml V N 2 = [N 2 ] (t). flow. dt Measurement of N 2 fraction N 2 fraction = 40% Wash-out of N 2 5 ml x 40% = 2 ml N 2

53 Nitrogen Washout Technique Procedures 1. Adequate warm-up time with calibration 2. Ask for eardrum perforation 3. Patients sits comfortably 4. Breathing through mouthpiece for sec - stable end-expiratory level 5. Switched into the circuit at FRC - inspiration of 100% O 2 breathing should generate enough negative pressure to open valves

54 Nitrogen Washout Technique Procedures 6. Monitoring of N 2 during washout 7. Measuring of exhaled volume 8. Stability of signal should be examined for noise and drift N 2 = 0 during inspiration configuration of end-expiratory N 2 curve 9. End of test: [N 2 ] < 1.5% for 3 breaths

55

56 Subject with early COPD

57 Nitrogen Washout Technique Procedures 10. Repeat test if leak is reported or results are not physiological 11. Document leaks eardrum perforation degree of effort during vital capacity maneuvers min between two tests 13. Take care of patients on O 2 therapy

58 Nitrogen Washout Technique Principle of technique Equipment Procedures Quality control

59 Nitrogen Washout Technique Quality Control 1. N 2 analyser [O 2 and CO 2 analyser] should be calibrated before each test at 0% N 2, 40% N 2 and room air 2. vacuum level, pneumotachograph temperature (38-40 C), flow (zero) and N 2 (79-81%) should be checked 3. volume calibration check of pneumotachograph every 24 h (both in- and exhalation)

60 Nitrogen Washout Technique Quality Control 4. Test of a technician with normal lung function at least once a week; error < 5% or < ± 3 SD of the mean of previous measurements 5. Volume of exhalations with room air and pure N 2 should be checked every month 6. Check the accuracy, drift and linearity characteristics of the O 2 and CO 2 analysers if measurements of N 2 concentration are made indirectly
