Abstract: Objective:To evaluate pulmonary function and functional capacity in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease. Methods:This was a cross-sectional study involving 70 children and adolescents (8-15 years of age) with sickle cell disease who underwent pulmonary function tests (spirometry) and functional capacity testing (six-minute walk test). The results of the pulmonary function tests were compared with variables related to the severity of sickle cell disease and history of asthma and of acute chest syn… Show more

“…Recently, Vieira et al evaluated pulmonary function in 70 children and adolescents with SCD. Of the 64 patients who underwent spirometry, 8 (12.5%) showed restrictive lung disease and 7 (10.9%) had OLD.…”

“…Complementando o estudo 5, a pesquisa de número 11 identifica um prejuízo na ventilação pulmonar nas crianças portadoras de asma, quando comparadas com crianças sem a enfermidade, o achado se concretiza através de exames de imagem como ressonância magnética de gás hiperpolarizado, estando o comprometimento associado a gravidade da asma (de caminhada de 6 minutos, foi utilizado nesta pesquisa, buscando correlacionar a dessaturação como diagnóstico precoce também para hipertensão pulmonar. O estudo identificou ainda que há relação entre anormalidade da função pulmonar e os valores de saturação, podendo indicar doença pulmonar crônica na presença de doença falciforme (Vieira et al, 2016).…”

“… 8 It was also demonstrated that patients with PH (including those with postcapillary PH) have reduced exercise tolerance, despite having preserved or even increased cardiac output. In the study conducted by Vieira et al, 7 the lack of echocardiographic evaluation constitutes a limitation that precludes the identification of other factors associated with desaturation. In patients with high-output PH, increased pulmonary flow can lead to diffusion/perfusion mismatch enhanced by a rightward shift of the hemoglobin dissociation curve and associated V• //Q mismatch ( Figure 1 ).…”

“…In the previous issue of the JBP, Vieira et al 7 evaluated children and adolescents with sickle cell disease using spirometry and the six-minute walk test. It is of note that changes in gas exchange during exercise were common in the study sample: 52% had a significant decrease in SaO 2 as assessed by pulse oximetry (SpO 2 ) at the end of the six-minute walk test.…”
