ABSTRACT

Este relato de dois casos com os resultados da fração tardia de espaço morto (fDlate), fração do espaço morto alveolar end-tidal (AVDSf), gradiente artério-alveolar de CO2 [P(a-et)CO2] e slope da fase 3 do espirograma, submetidos à tromboendarterectomia pulmonar por tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP). O TEP foi diagnosticado pela cintilografia pulmonar, tomografia helicoidal computadorizada e por arteriografia pulmonar. O cálculo da fDlate, AVDSf e P(a-et)CO2 baseou-se na capnografia volumétrica associada à gasometria arterial. A fDlate préoperatória do primeiro paciente foi de 0,16 (cutoff de 0,12) e a AVDSf = 0,30 (cutoff de 0,15). Já a fDlate do segundo paciente resultou falso-negativa (0,01), embora a AVDSf resultasse positiva (0,28). A fDlate pós-operatória do primeiro paciente foi de -0,04 e a AVDSf de 0,16; a fDlate do segundo paciente foi de 0,07 e a AVDSf = 0,28. A associação destas variáveis com os exames por imagem reforça a importância deste método como ferramenta diagnóstica não-invasiva no diagnóstico de TEP.


In these case report, the results of late dead space fraction (fDlate), end-tidal alveolar dead space fraction (AVDSf), arterial-alveolar gradient CO2 [P(a-et)CO2], and slope phase 3 of spirogram of two patients who underwent thromboendarterectomy for pulmonary embolism (PE) are shown. PE was diagnosed by pulmonary scintigraphy, helical tomography, and pulmonary angiography. The calculation of fDlate, AVDSf and P(a-et)CO2 was based on volumetric capnography associated with arterial blood gas analysis. The pre-operative fDlate of the first patient was 0.16 (cutoff 0.12) and AVDSf was 0.30 (cutoff 0.15). However, the fDlate of the second patient was false-negative (0.01) but, the AVDSf was positive (0.28). Postoperative fDlate of the first patient was -0.04 and AVDSf was 0.16; for the second patient, the values were 0.07 and 0.28, respectively. The association of these capnographic variables with image exams reinforces the importance of this noninvasive diagnosis method.
