Abstract:Objective: To determinate by the OEP the effects of deep inspiration on physiological variables and thoracicabdominal asynchrony in patients with COPD, compared with healthy individuals matched for age.Methods: Ten patients with COPD and 12 healthy individuals were evaluated using OEP during deep inspiration. TAA was estimated using the phase angle in a Lissajous figure for three consecutive and consistent respiratory cycles.Results: There was significant difference (p<0.01) on the phase angle between the abdo… Show more
