使用特殊的移动装置对患有脊椎胸廓发育不良的麻醉儿童进行连续 VEPTR 扩张胸廓成形术对肺功能的影响进行纵向研究。 24 名儿童开始手术时的中位年龄为 4.6 岁（1.8-10.8 岁），大多数表现出中度至重度限制性 King 缺陷。平均 3.2 年（1.0-6.5）后，他们的用力肺活量 (FVC) 平均每年增加 11.1%。研究开始时 6 岁以下儿童的增长率高于年龄较大的儿童（14.5% vs 6.5%，p
The effect on pulmonary function of serial VEPTR expansion thoracoplasty was studied longitudinally in anesthetized children with spondylothoracic dysplasia using a special mobile unit. The median age of 24 children at the start of surgery was 4.6 years (1.8-10.8) and most exhibited a moderate-to-severe restrictive king defect. After a median of 3.2 years (1.0-6.5), their forced vital capacity (FVC) was found to have increased by an average of 11.1%/year. The rate of increase was greater in children who were younger than 6 years at the start of the study than in older children (14.5% versus 6.5%, p
