Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease

Bronchiectasis is characterized by dilatation of bronchi, airflow limitation and chronic infection/ inflammation. The aetiology, pathology and management are discussed in this review. It is vital that we distinguish bronchiectasis from other obstructive airways disease like Asthma and Chronic obstructive airways disease as management strategies are different.

Symptomatic Benefit

Cerebral blood flow was measured before and after lowering of haematocrit in four patients with primary polycythaemia and in nine with polycythaemia secondary to chronic obstructive airways disease. Cerebral blood flow values in each group were abnormally low to a similar degree at the start of the study and the degree of rise in cerebral blood flow per unit fall in haematocrit after venesection also was similar in each. Oxygen delivery fell despite increased cerebral blood flow and symptomatic benefit was infrequent. In male secondary polycythaemic patients rise in cerebral blood flow was not associated with any improvement in hypothalamo-pituitary-testicular function which we had previously noted to be suppressed in such hypoxic subjects. Our findings suggest viscosity changes rather than alteration in blood oxygen carriage to be responsible for cerebral blood flow improvement. It is concluded that therapeutic venesection in such patients should be applied with caution.
