Abstract Introduction: The spine deformity due to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) generates respiratory mechanical limitations that may reduce the physical activity performance. Objective: To evaluate the thoracic deformity, exercise capacity and lung function in AIS patients comparing to healthy...
Abstract Objective: To describe the efficacy and safety of chloral hydrate sedation in infants for pulmonary function tests. Methods: All sedation attempts for pulmonary function tests in infants carried out between June 2007 and August 2014 were evaluated. Obstructive sleep apnea and heart disease wer...
ABSTRACT Objective: Many patients with proportional reductions in FVC and FEV1 on spirometry show no reduction in TLC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role that measuring lung volumes and airway resistance plays in the correct classification of patients with a possible restrictive pattern on s...

Introdução: A pressão positiva contínua nas vias aéreas (CPAP) pode auxiliar na restauração da função pulmonar após a gastroplastia. Objetivo: Comparar os efeitos da aplicação da CPAP por meio de dois dispositivos diferentes, na função pulmonar e na prevalência de atelectasias pulmonares a...
O teste cardiopulmonar de exercício (TCPE) é um exame complementar que fornece importantes dados
sobre a real capacidade funcional e respostas do metabolismo, ventilação e trocas gasosas do paciente.
Deste modo, o TCPE permite classificar a aptidão cardiorrespiratória de um indivíduo e identificar...
Abstract Introduction: Literature shows that patients undergoing hemodialysis present poor physical conditioning and low tolerance to exercise. They may also suffer from respiratory dysfunctions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on pulmonary f...
Abstract Background: Marfan's Syndrome (MFS) is a disorder of connective tissue, mainly involving the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and ocular systems. The most severe problems include aortic root dilatation and dissection. Anesthetic management is vital for the improvement on perioperative morbidity...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia do cicloergômetro de membros superiores no condicionamento ardiorrespiratório em pacientes com lesão medular. MÉTODOS: Três pacientes participantes do programa de reabilitação do Hospital Estadual Mário Covas realizaram o programa de condicionamento físico durante 6...
Background: Spirometry is the gold-standard diagnosis test for COPD. However, the impulse oscillometry system (IOS) has proven to be effective for early detection of COPD and little is known about the association between the two techniques in the presence or absence of pulmonary disease. Objective: To in...
Resumen: Introducción: La escoliosis es una deformidad de la columna vertebral; se diagnostica por el método de Cobb presentando una angulación mayor de 10o en proyección radiográfica anteroposterior. Produce alteraciones pulmonares de tipo restrictivo en angulaciones mayores a 50o. Su manejo pued...
