Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a lung disease characterized by chronic airflow limitation associated with small airway fibrosis and obliteration, caused by viral infection in the first years of life. According to the current clinical guidelines in our country, the bases of its treatme...

Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is an emerging tool in the study of pulmonary function in respiratory diseases. In this review we compare its usefulness with that of forced spirometry in children. Although these techniques measure different mechanical properties of the respiratory system, -the first, resistan...
Introducción: la duración ideal de la asistencia ventilatoria mecánica (AVM) genera debate e incertidumbre. El intento de desvinculación prematuro condiciona fracaso y aumento de mortalidad, mientras que la desvinculación tardía aumenta el riesgo del paciente. La utilización de pruebas de ventilac...
Abstract Introduction: The peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a practical method that evaluates the caliber of the proximal airways. The ease in handling and the low cost of portable PEF meters made their use frequent. However, few studies have examined the correlation between the different equipment and com...
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of malnutrition in patients attending an adult cystic fibrosis (CF) program and to investigate the associations of malnutrition with the clinical characteristics of those patients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving patients with clinic...

Abstract Background: The occurrence of minute-ventilation oscillations during exercise, named periodic breathing, exhibits important prognostic information in heart failure. Considering that exercise training could influence the fluctuation of ventilatory components during exercise, we hypothesized that...
ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The combined effect of obesity and asthma may lead to significant impairment of quality of life (QOL). The aim here was to evaluate the prevalence of asthma among obese individuals, characterize the severity of impairment of quality of life and measure its relationship wi...

ABSTRACT Objective To assess whether the spontaneous breathing test can predict the extubation failure in pediatric population. Methods A prospective and observational study that evaluated data of inpatients at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit between May 2011 and August 2013, receiving mechanical v...
ABSTRACT Objective: To infer the prevalence and variables predictive of isolated nocturnal hypoxemia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with COPD and mild hypoxemia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving clinically stable COPD outpatients with mild hypoxemia (oxygen saturation ...
