Positional dyspnea and oxygen desaturation related to carcinoma of the lung. Up with the good lung

DA Mahler, PE Snyder, JA Virgulto and J Loke

Body position can lead to respiratory symptoms and affect gas exchange in disease states. We describe a patient with carcinoma of the left lung in whom dyspnea and oxygen desaturation developed in the right lateral position only. Fiberoptic bronchoscopic study demonstrated a tumor mass protruding into the left main-stem bronchus, which caused further narrowing when the patient turned on his right side.
