- ItemSomente MetadadadosCan bronchodilators improve exercise tolerance in COPD patients without dynamic hyperinflation?(Soc Brasileira Pneumologia Tisiologia, 2014-03-01) Scuarcialupi, Maria Enedina Aquino; Berton, Danilo Cortozi; Cordoni, Priscila Kessar; Squassoni, Selma Denis; Fiss, Elie; Neder, Jose Alberto [UNIFESP]; Fac Ciencias Med Paraiba; Univ Fed Rio Grande do Sul; Fac Med ABC; Queens Univ; Kingston Gen Hosp; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Objective: To investigate the modulatory effects that dynamic hyperinflation (UFO, defined as a reduction in inspiratory capacity (lC), has on exercise tolerance after bronchodilator in patients with COPD. Methods: An experimental, randomized study involving 30 COPD patients without severe hypoxemia. At baseline, the patients underwent clinical assessment, spirometry, and incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). On two subsequent visits, the patients were randomized to receive a combination of inhaled fenoterol/ipratropium or placebo. All patients then underwent spirometiy and submaximal CPET at constant speed up to the limit of tolerance (Tlim). The patients who showed Delta lC(peak-rest) < 0 were considered to present with DH (DH+). Results: In this sample, 21 patients (70%) had DH. The DH+ patients had higher airflow obstruction and lower Tlim than did the patients without Did (DH-). Despite equivalent improvement in FEV1 after bronchodilator, the DH- group showed higher Delta lC(bronchodilator-placebo) at rest in relation to the DH+ group (p < 0.05). However, this was not found in relation to Delta lC at peak exercise between DH+ and DH- groups (0.19 +/- 0.17 L vs. 0.17 +/- 0.15 L, p > 0.05). in addition, both groups showed similar improvements in Tlim after bronchodilator (median [interquartile range]: 22% [3-60% vs. 10% [3-53%]; p > 0.05). Conclusions: Improvement in TLim was associated with an increase in lC at rest after bronchodilator in HD- patients with COPD. However, even without that improvement, COPD patients can present with greater exercise tolerance after bronchodilator provided that they develop DH during exercise.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Capacidade inspiratória, limitação ao exercício, e preditores de gravidade e prognóstico, em doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica(Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia, 2007-08-01) Freitas, Clarice Guimarães de; Pereira, Carlos Alberto de Castro [UNIFESP]; Viegas, Carlos Alberto de Assis; Universidade de Brasília; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de Brasília Faculdade de MedicinaOBJECTIVE: To correlate the postbronchodilator (post-BD) inspiratory capacity (IC), % of predicted, with other markers of severity and prognostic factors in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: Eighty stable patients with COPD performed forced vital capacity and slow vital capacity maneuvers, as well as the 6-min walk test, prior to and after receiving albuterol spray (400 µg). Patients were divided into four groups, based on post-BD forced expiratory volume in one second. Several variables were tested to establish correlations with the post-BD distance walked, using univariate and multivariate analysis. Post-BD IC was found to correlated with Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) staging and with the Body mass index, airway Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise capacity (BODE) index. RESULTS: Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the distance walked, % predicted, correlated significantly with the IC post-BD, % predicted (p = 0.001), long-term oxygen use (p = 0.014), and number of medications used in the treatment (p = 0.044). IC < 70% was observed in 56% patients in GOLD stages 3 or 4 vs. 20% in GOLD 1 or 2 (p < 0.001). IC < 70% was observed in (60%) patients with BODE score 3 or 4 vs. (33%) BODE score 1 or 2 (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Post-BD IC% predicted is the best functional predictor of distance walked and is significantly associated with GOLD staging and BODE index. Therefore, We propose that the inspiratory capacity should be added to the routine evaluation of the COPD patients.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosDynamic hyperinflation during treadmill exercise testing in patients with moderate to severe COPD(Soc Brasileira Pneumologia Tisiologia, 2012-01-01) Cordoni, Priscila Kessar; Berton, Danilo Cortozi; Squassoni, Selma Denis; Scuarcialupi, Maria Enedina Aquino; Neder, Jose Alberto [UNIFESP]; Fiss, Elie; Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC); Federacao Estabelecimentos Ensino Super Novo Hamb; Fac Med & Ciencias Med Paraiba; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Objective: To characterize the presence, extent, and patterns of dynamic hyperinflation (DH) during treadmill exercise testing in patients with moderate to severe COPD. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 30 non-hypoxemic patients (FEV1 = 43 +/- 14% of predicted) who were submitted to a cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill at a constant speed (70-80% of maximum speed) to the tolerance limit (Tlim). Serial inspiratory capacity (1C) maneuvers were used in order to assess DH. Results: Of the 30 patients studied, 19 (63.3%) presented with OH (DH+ group), having greater pulmonary function impairment at rest than did those without UN (OH group). None of the variables studied correlated with exercise tolerance in the DH- group, whereas Tlim, 1C, and perception of dyspnea during exercise did so correlate in the DH+ group (p < 0.05). In the DH+ group, 7 and 12 patients, respectively, presented with a progressive and a stable pattern of DH (Delta 1C(Tlim,2min)= -0.28 +/- 0.11 L vs. 0.04 +/- 0.10 L; p <0.01). Patients with a progressive pattern of DH presented with higher perception of dyspnea/Tlim rate and lower exercise tolerance than did those with a stable pattern (354 +/- 118 s and 465 +/- 178 s, respectively; p < 0.05). Conclusions: The presence of DH is not a universal phenomenon during walking in COPD patients, even in those with moderate to severe airflow limitation. In the patients who presented DH, a progressive pattern of DH had a greater impact on exercise tolerance than did a stable pattern of DH.
