The results were compared with the same measurements made in patients with chronic cirrhosis anaesthetised and scheduled to have injection sclerotherapy under general anaesthesia but who, because of variceal obliteration, only had an oesophagogastroscopy. In the injected group PaO2 decreased by 9.3 (3.0) mm Hg (1.2 (0.4) kPa) (mean (SEM)) (p &lt; 0.02) but in the controls did not change. The difference between the two groups was significant (p &lt; 0.02). Vital capacity decreased by 0.39 (0.08) litres (BTPS) (p &lt; 0.01) after injection sclerotherapy but in the controls did not change. Again the difference between the two groups was significant (p &lt; 0.02). In the injected group there was a significant correlation between the change in PaO2 and the percentage change in vital capacity (r = 0.787, p &lt; 0.01) but no such relation was seen in control subjects. These results suggest that oesophageal injection sclerotherapy is associated with a restrictive defect in respiratory function one day after the injection caused, possibly, by sclerosant embolising to the lung.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.35.10.1459","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T17:41:31Z","timestamp":1190137291000},"page":"1459-1463","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Respiratory function after injection sclerotherapy of oesophageal varices."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"T","family":"Samuels","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M C","family":"Lovett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I T","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Makin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S A","family":"Jenkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J N","family":"Baxter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"823","article-title":"Complications of endoscopic injection scierotherapy: review","volume":"82","author":"Schuman, B.M.; Beckman, J.W.; Tedesco, F.T.; JW, Jr, Griffin; Assad, R.T.","year":"1987","unstructured":"Schuman BM, Beckman JW, Tedesco FT, Griffin JW Jr, Assad RT.
