ABSTRACT

A doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica ocupacional, apesar de ampla discussão há quase meio século, ainda é muito pouco abordada em nosso meio. Diversos estudos, especialmente os de base populacional, revelaram a associação entre as exposições ocupacionais aos aerodispersóides e o comprometimento das vias aéreas. Este capítulo objetiva alertar para o diagnóstico da doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica de origem ocupacional apresentando uma revisão suscinta sobre o tema que deverá ser incorporado ao projeto Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, tanto no seu escopo de fundamentação diagnóstica quanto em seu questionário específico. O detalhamento da história ocupacional e a caracterização da exposição a agentes inalatórios, de reconhecida ação deletéria para o aparelho respiratório, seguramente proporcionarão uma melhor abordagem para o reconhecimento, prognóstico e controle dessa doença.


Occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, despite having been widely discussed for nearly half a century, is still rarely addressed in Brazil. Various studies, especially those that were population-based, have revealed the relationship between occupational exposure to aerosols and impairment of the airways. This chapter aims to remind physicians of the diagnosis of occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by presenting a succinct review of the literature on the theme, which should be incorporated into the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, in terms of the scope of the diagnostic basis as well as in terms of the questionnaire specific for the disease. Collecting detailed work histories and characterizing exposure to inhaled agents known to have deleterious effects on the respiratory system will surely result in improved approaches to making diagnoses and prognoses of this disease, as well as contributing to its greater control.
