This study was designed to compare the bronchodilatatory effect of terbutaline inhaled through Turbuhaler (TH) or pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) in young asthmatics, and to assess the possible relationship between patients' inspiratory capacity and bronchodilatation for both devices. One hundred and eighteen asthmatics (aged 4 10/12-20 6/12 years) with bronchial obstruction (mean Vmax 50%: 59.5% pred, SD 17.8% pred) were allocated at random to two groups of 59 patients to inhale 0.5 mg terbutaline either by TH or by pMDI (and placebo by dummy of the other device). In- and expiratory spirometry and bodyplethysmography were conducted before and 10 min after inhalation. Bronchodilatation was effective [change in airways resistance (delta RAW) -50%, change in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (delta FEV1)+15%, delta Vmax 50% or 25% + 25% of baseline] in 41 of 59 patients with pMDI (69.5%) and 33 of 59 patients with TH (55.9%). The effect on Vmax 50% was significantly better with pMDI than with TH. Turbuhaler users with higher inspiratory flow [forced inspiratory volume in 1 s (FIV1), forced inspiratory flow at 50% vital capacity (FIF50)] reached better bronchodilatation, while bronchodilatatory effect was not correlated with inspiratory performance in MDI users. Peak inspiratory flow (PIF) did not correlate well with bronchodilatation by TH. When using TH for bronchodilatation, the effectiveness of terbutaline depends upon the degree of inspiratory capacity. This can lead to impaired bronchodilatatory effect in subgroups of obstructive young asthmatics with low inspiratory flow. In contrast, when using a pMDI, inspiratory capacity does not seem to influence the effectiveness of terbutaline.
Twenty-one eligible COPD patients were studied (13 male/8 female, FEV % predicted of 36.5 ± 9.8). Both CPAP and EPAP demonstrated significant post-pre (Δ) changes for IC and PImax, with mean ΔIC for CPAP and EPAP of 200 ± 100 mL and 170 ± 105 mL (P = .001 for both) in 13 and 12 patients (responders) respectively. There were similar changes in % predicted IC and PImax (∼7%, P = .001 for both) for responders and poor responder/non-responder agreement depending on CPAP/EPAP mode (Kappa = .113, P = .604). There were no differences in CPAP and EPAP regarding intensity of lung deflation (P =.254) and no difference was measured regarding HR (P = .235) or SpO (P = .111) CONCLUSIONS: Both CPAP and EPAP presented a similar effect on lung deflation, without guaranteeing that the response to one modality would be predictive of the response to the other.
<p>Objetivo: validar o conteúdo da tecnologia educacional “Saúde do Homem: dicas para uma vida saudável”. Método: trata-se de estudo metodológico de validação de conteúdo com juízes especialistas. Aplicou-se um questionário validado que utiliza a escala do tipo Likert. O instrumento avalia três blocos de aspectos: objetivos, estrutura e apresentação, relevância. Utilizou-se a estatística descritiva para a obtenção do índice de validade de conteúdo. Participaram nove juízes-especialistas. Resultados: o índice de validade de conteúdo por blocos foi de 0,84, 0,73, 0,84. O índice geral foi de 0,78. As sugestões dos juízes contribuíram para a revisão da tecnologia educacional e foram consideradas e incluídas na versão final. Conclusão: validou-se o manual como tecnologia educacional para disseminar informações relevantes para a população masculina e também ser um dispositivo mediador de práticas educativas da equipe multidisciplinar, principalmente para o enfermeiro, podendo contribuir positivamente na qualidade de vida da população do sexo masculino.</p><p>Descritores: Saúde do Homem.
