ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: There are few studies on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) establishing differences between the functional parameters of the disease and sleep variables. The aim of the study was to describe the sleep pattern of these patients and to correlate spirometric, gasometric and polysomnographic variables. METHODS: Transversal study using COPD patients submitted to spirometry, arterial gasometry, and polysomnography. RESULTS: 21 male patients were studied with average age = 67 ± 9; 7 ± 4 average points in the Epworth sleepiness scale, average Tiffenau's index (FEV1/FVC) = 54 ± 13.0 percent, average PaO2 = 68 ± 11 mmHg, average PaCO2 = 37 ± 6 mmHg. Sleep efficiency decreased (65 ± 16 percent) with the reduction of slow wave sleep (8 ± 9 percent) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (15 ± 8 percent). Average T90 was 43 ± 41 percent. Average apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) = 3 ± 5/h, where two patients (9.5 percent) presented obstructive sleep apnea. A significant correlation was observed between PaO2 and T90 (p < 0.01), PaCO2 and T90 (p < 0.05), and AHI and the cardiac rate during REM (p < 0.01). A higher number of arousals and stage change was observed. There was no linear correlation between spirometric and polysomnographic variables. CONCLUSION: Poor sleep quality of these patients was characterized by low sleep efficiency, high number of awakenings and shift of stages. There were no correlations between the spirometric and polysomnographic variables.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A espirometria e a gasometria são largamente utilizadas na estimativa da limitação ventilatória e do prognóstico de pacientes portadores de doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica. Entretanto, testes físicos funcionais, como o teste de caminhada de seis minutos (Tc6), têm surgido como complemento na avaliação dinâmica de portadores de doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica. Objetivo: Determinar as correlações entre as provas funcionais respiratórias e o teste de caminhada de seis minutos em portadores de DPOC. Pacientes e métodos: 45 pacientes foram submetidos à coleta de história clínica e a exame físico completo realizado pela equipe médica do Serviço de Pneumologia do Hospital Universitário de Brasília. Em seguida, foi realizada a avaliação das variáveis espirométricas, gasométricas, das pressões respiratórias e o teste de caminhada de seis minutos (Tc6). Resultados: Observaram-se correlações positivas estatisticamente significativas (p < 0,05) das variáveis VEF1, PaO2, SpO2 e Pe máx em relação ao teste de caminhada de seis minutos. Conclusões: O teste de caminhada de seis minutos correlacionou-se de forma significativa (p < 0,05) e positiva e pode ser utilizado como instrumento alternativo na avaliação funcional do paciente portador de DPOC
