Efeitos sistêmicos da hipoxemia noturna em pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica sem síndrome da apnéia obstrutiva do sono

Abstract: Objective: To study the effects of nocturnal hypoxemia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Methods: We studied 21 patients-10 desaturators and 11 nondesaturators-submitted to arterial blood gas analysis, polysomnography, spirometry, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (cycle ergometer), and hand-grip dynamometry, as well as measurements of maximal inspiratory pressure, maximal expiratory pressure, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Patients with arter… Show more

“…Other studies have used pulse oximetry rather than polysomnography to diagnose nocturnal hypoxemia in small samples and found prevalence rates ranging from 47% to 52%. 10 , 11 , 13 In contrast, authors using methodologies similar to that of the present study have found similar prevalence rates. 7 , 12 …”

“…In a study focused on the systemic effects of nocturnal hypoxemia in COPD patients, the number of patients presenting C reactive protein (CRP) levels above those considered normal was significantly greater in the desaturation group which is the evidence of pronounced inflammatory activation in COPD patients with nocturnal hypoxemia. [16] …”

“…Because of a number of factors, mainly including: alveolar hypoventilation, airway obstruction, hyperinflation, respiratory muscle dysfunction, blunted ventilatory responses to hypoxia and ventilation-perfusion mismatch, emphysematous patients run a high risk of developing SH [8][10]. Compared to their non-SH brethren, emphysematous patients with SH have greater degrees of pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale [11], require more frequent hospitalizations, sustain higher mortality rates [12][15] and demonstrate systemic evidence of pronounced inflammatory activation [16] which may cause inflammatory damages to the liver as well.…”

“…In fact, these patients frequently presented periods of hypoxia, especially when exercising, 9 , 10 during activities of daily living 11 and sleep. 12 , 13 Although the use of the expression “chronic hypoxia” is accepted in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for instance, its timely measurement during evaluation can yield results which fall between normal limits. The expression will be used in a consistent way throughout this manuscript.…”
