Impacto de un Programa de Recuperación Funcional en Músculos Ventilatorios y Apendiculares en Pacientes Post-ventilación Mecánica por COVID-19

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
Los pacientes con COVID-19 subsidiarios de ventilación mecánica (VM), evolucionan con consecuencias funcionales en la musculatura ventilatoria y apendicular que no necesariamente se abordan de manera diferenciada. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el impacto de un programa de recuperación...

Distribution of global and regional lung ventilation using electrical impedance tomography before and after cardiac surgery

Rev. chil. anest; 51 (5), 2022
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) the distribution of lung volume during spontaneous breathing, between the preoperative and postoperative state of cardiac surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study carried out with 38 adult patients ...

Oxigenación de músculos respiratorios y locomotores durante el test cardiopulmonar en pacientes con circulación de fontan: serie de casos

Rev. chil. cardiol; 40 (1), 2021
Resumen: Antecedentes: Los pacientes con circulación de Fontan (PCF) presentan limitación cardíaca durante el esfuerzo máximo lo que repercute en menor capacidad de ejercicio (VO2-peak). La rehabilitación cardiovascular (RC) revierte este desacondicionamiento, al aumentar el gasto cardíaco y difere...

Relationship between respiratory muscle strength and grip strength in institutionalized and community-dwelling older adults

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between respiratory muscle strength and grip strength in institutionalized and communitydwelling older adults. METHODS: This convenience sampled cross-sectional study had 64 voluntary participants with a good general health status and without limiting chronic disea...

Panic disorder respiratory subtype: psychopathology and challenge tests - an update

Panic disorder (PD) pathophysiology is very heterogeneous, and the discrimination of distinct subtypes could be very useful. A subtype based on respiratory symptoms is known to constitute a specific subgroup. However, evidence to support the respiratory subtype (RS) as a distinct subgroup of PD with a we...

Padrão ventilatório e capacidade muscular em idosos: projeto AGA@4life

INTRODUÇÃO: As alterações musculares que acompanham o envelhecimento, traduzidas numa diminuição quer na massa quer na capacidade de trabalho da musculatura, condicionam diminuições na força e resistência ao esforço no idoso. OBJETIVO: Correlacionar a perda de capacidade de trabalho muscular c...

Respiratory evaluation through volumetric capnography among grade III obese and eutrophic individuals: a comparative study

Säo Paulo med. j; 137 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Excess trunk body fat in obese individuals influences respiratory physiological function. The aims of this study were to compare volumetric capnography findings (VCap) between severely obese patients and normal-weight subjects and to assess whether there is any association between ...

Evaluation of respiratory dynamics by volumetric capnography during submaximal exercise protocol of six minutes on treadmill in cystic fibrosis patients

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 95 (1), 2019
Abstract Objectives: Volumetric capnography provides the standard CO2 elimination by the volume expired per respiratory cycle and is a measure to assess pulmonary involvement. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the respiratory dynamics of healthy control subjects and those with cystic fib...

Effects of manual chest compression on expiratory flow bias during the positive end-expiratory pressure-zero end-expiratory pressure maneuver in patients on mechanical ventilation

J. bras. pneumol; 45 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effects of manual chest compression (MCC) on the expiratory flow bias during the positive end-expiratory pressure-zero end-expiratory pressure (PEEP-ZEEP) airway clearance maneuver applied in patients on mechanical ventilation. The flow bias, which influences pulmo...
