ABSTRACT
Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a lung disease characterized by chronic airflow limitation associated with small airway fibrosis and obliteration, caused by viral infection in the first years of life. According to the current clinical guidelines in our country, the bases of its treatment involve pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies. Among non-pharmacological strategies, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is the standout, which consists of diagnostic and therapeutic management designed to evaluate and reverse function deterioration, and aimed at improving the quality of life and the prognosis of these patients.The objective of this review is to describe and discuss the components associated with pulmonary rehabilitation of PIBO patients, emphasizing the properties and attributes of the evaluation methods and the main treatment strategies that contribute to improving these patients' functionality
La bronquiolitis obliterante post infecciosa (BOPI) es una enfermedad pulmonar caracterizada por limitación crónica al flujo de aire asociado a fibrosis y obliteración de la vía aérea pequeña, que se produce como consecuencia de un cuadro infeccioso de origen viral durante los primeros años de vida. De acuerdo a la guía clínica vigente en nuestro país, las bases de su tratamiento se sustentan en estrategias farmacológicas y no farmacológicas. Entre las estrategias no farmacológicas destaca la rehabilitación respiratoria (RR), que se estructura a partir de la ejecución de protocolos de intervención con fines diagnósticos y terapéuticos, dirigidos a evaluar y revertir el deterioro funcional, teniendo como propósito central el mejorar la calidad de vida y el pronóstico de estos pacientes. El objetivo de la presente revisión es describir y discutir los componentes asociados a la rehabilitación pulmonar de los pacientes con BOPI, haciendo énfasis en las propiedades y atributos de los métodos de evaluación y en las principales estrategias de tratamiento que contribuyen a mejorar la funcionalidad de estos pacientes

ABSTRACT Objective: Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a clinical entity that has been classified as constrictive, fixed obstruction of the lumen by fibrotic tissue. However, recent studies using impulse oscillometry have reported bronchodilator responses in PIBO patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate bronchodilator responses in pediatric PIBO patients, comparing different criteria to define the response. Methods: We evaluated pediatric patients diagnosed with PIBO and treated at one of two pediatric pulmonology outpatient clinics in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Spirometric parameters were measured in accordance with international recommendations. Results: We included a total of 72 pediatric PIBO patients. The mean pre- and post-bronchodilator values were clearly lower than the reference values for all parameters, especially FEF25-75%. There were post-bronchodilator improvements. When measured as mean percent increases, FEV1 and FEF25-75%, improved by 11% and 20%, respectively. However, when the absolute values were calculated, the mean FEV1 and FEF25-75% both increased by only 0.1 L. We found that age at viral aggression, a family history of asthma, and allergy had no significant effects on bronchodilator responses. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with PIBO have peripheral airway obstruction that is responsive to treatment but is not completely reversible with a bronchodilator. The concept of PIBO as fixed, irreversible obstruction does not seem to apply to this population. Our data suggest that airway obstruction is variable in PIBO patients, a finding that could have major clinical implications.
RESUMO Objetivo: A bronquiolite obliterante pós-infecciosa (BOPI) é uma entidade clínica que tem sido classificada como obstrução fixa e constritiva do lúmen por tecido fibrótico. Entretanto, estudos recentes utilizando oscilometria de impulso relataram resposta ao broncodilatador em pacientes com BOPI. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resposta broncodilatadora em pacientes pediátricos com BOPI, comparando critérios diferentes para a definição da resposta. Métodos: Foram avaliados pacientes pediátricos com diagnóstico de BOPI tratados em um de dois ambulatórios de pneumologia pediátrica na cidade de Porto Alegre (RS). Parâmetros espirométricos foram medidos de acordo com recomendações internacionais. Resultados: Foram incluídos 72 pacientes pediátricos com BOPI no estudo. As médias dos valores pré- e pós-broncodilatador foram claramente inferiores aos valores de referência para todos os parâmetros, especialmente FEF25-75%. Houve uma melhora pós-broncodilatador. Quando medidos como aumentos percentuais médios, VEF1 e FEF25-75% melhoraram em 11% e 20%, respectivamente. Entretanto, quando os valores absolutos foram calculados, as médias de VEF1 e FEF25-75% aumentaram somente em 0,1 l. Verificamos que a idade da agressão viral, história familiar de asma e alergia não tiveram efeitos significativos na resposta ao broncodilatador. Conclusões: Pacientes pediátricos com BOPI têm uma obstrução das vias aéreas periféricas que responde ao tratamento, mas não uma reversão completa com o broncodilatador. O conceito de BOPI como obstrução fixa e irreversível parece não se aplicar a essa população. Nossos dados sugerem que a obstrução de vias aéreas em pacientes com BOPI é variável, e esse achado pode ter importantes implicações clínicas.

Introduction: Adenovirus infection is an important cause of pneumonia in Chilean children. Postinfectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans (PIBO) is the most important complication. There are few studies assessing pulmonary function and quality of life in PIBO patients. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the pulmonary function and the quality of life of patients with PIBO and the correlation between both variables. Methods: 14 children with PIBO in follow up at the pediatric pulmonology outpatient clinic of a public children hospital were included in this study. Study period: April 2009 - April 2010. Pulmonary function was assessed in a medical visit by spirometry, flow/volume curve and intrathoracic gas volume measurement. The following indices were analyzed FVC, FEV1, FEV25-75, FEV1/FVC, RV, TLC, RV and RV/TLC. A survey of a self-administered Quality of Life (PedsQL, version 4.0, Spanish for Chile) was applied at the visit to investigate their global, physical and psychosocial quality of life. The Pearson linear correlation between quality of life and the pulmonary function test parameters was assessed, in the statistical analysis ap value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of our patients was 12.4 (range: 9-19 years-old). The functional alterations were characteristics of an obstructive respiratory disorder in 64.3 percent of the patients. Average pulmonary function test indices showed decreases in FEV1 (75 percent), FEV25-75 (48.8 percent), FEV1/FVC (67.6 percent) with normal value of FVC (93,7 percent) as well as pronounced increases in RV (333.5 percent), TLC (156 percent) and RV/TLC (51.8 percent). Mean change of FEV1 and FEV25-75post-bronchodilator was 11.3 percent and 26.4 percent respectively. Only 14.3 percent of our patients showed normal pulmonary function. The quality of life parameters were in average 58.2 percent of overall quality of life, 58.6 percent of physical quality of life and 57.9 percent of psychosocial ...
Introducción: La infección por adenovirus es una causa importante de neumonía en niños chilenos. La bronquiolitis obliterante (BOPI) es la complicación más importante. Existen pocos estudios donde evalúen la función pulmonar y la calidad de vida de los pacientes con BOPI. Objetivo: Evaluar la función pulmonar y la calidad de vida de los pacientes con BOPI y la correlación entre ambas variables. Métodos: Se incluyeron 14 niños con BOPI en el policlínico de la unidad de broncopulmonar de un hospital público de niños. Período de estudio: abril de 2009-abril de 2010. La función pulmonar se evaluó en una visita médica por espirometría, curva flujo / volumen y la determinación de volumen de gas intratorácico. Los índices analizados fueron los siguientes CVF, VEF1, FEV25-75, VEF1/CVF, VR,CPT, VR y VR / CPT. En la misma visita se realizó una encuesta auto-administrada de Calidad de Vida (PedsQL, versión 4.0, español de Chile) para investigar la calidad de vida global, física y psi-cosocial. Se aplicó la correlación lineal de Pearson entre calidad de vida y los parámetros de función pulmonar. Se consideró estadísticamente significativo unp <0,05. Resultados: La edad media de nuestros pacientes fue de 12,4 (rango: 9-19 años). La alteración funcional característica fue la obstructiva en el 64,3 por ciento de los pacientes. El promedio de los índices de pruebas de función pulmonar mostraron una disminución en VEF1 (75 por ciento), FEV25-75 (48,8 por ciento), VEF1/CVF (67,6 por ciento) con un valor normal de la CVF (93,7 por ciento), así como aumentos pronunciados en VR (333,5 por ciento), CPT (156 por ciento) y VR/CPT (51,8 por ciento). La media del cambio del VEF1 y FEV25-75post-broncodilatador fue 11,3 por ciento y 26,4 por ciento respectivamente. Sólo el 14,3 por ciento mostró una función pulmonar normal. Los parámetros de calidad de vida fueron en promedio 58,2 por ciento de calidad de vida general, 58,6 por ciento de calidad de vida física y el 57,9 por ciento...

Post infectious obliterans bronchiolitis (OB) causes persistent pulmonary function impairment and could affect patient ability to perform exercise. Six minute-walk test (6MWT) is a useful tool to study these aspects. Objective: Children with OB were evaluated with spirometry and 6MWT and the relationship between spirometrics measurements and 6MWT were determined. Twenty-seven children with OB were studied with a base line spirometry and 6MWT. Correlation between spirometry and 6MWT: covered distance, Borg index (BI), oxygen saturation (0(2)S) and heart rate (HR), were carried out using Rho of Spearman with SPSS 11.5. There was not relation between the covered distance and spirometrics values; only FVC correlates with final 0(2)S (rho = 0.4; p = 0.02). The other spirometrics variables correlates with BI, 0(2)S andHR; Interestingly FEV1correlates with: BI (rho = -0.7; p < 0.01), 0(2)S (rho = 0.5; p < 0.01) and HR (rho = -0.5; p < 0.01). BI was significant related to FEV1/FVC (rho = -0.7; p < 0.01) and FEF25-75 (rho = -0.8; p < 0.01). Airflow obstruction, especifically a low FEV1 is related with a high BI and HR; and also with a lower 0(2)S at the end of6MWT Increase ofBI is the change most related with airflow obstruction.
La Bronquiolitis Obliterante (BO) postviral produce alteraciones en la función pulmonar que pueden repercutir en la capacidad para realizar ejercicio, la cual se puede evaluar con el test de marcha de 6 minutos (TM6). Objetivo: Estudiar con esta prueba a niños con BO postviral y determinar la relación entre variables espirométricas y los resultados del TM6. Veintisiete pacientes, se estudiaron con espirometría basal y TM6. Se relacionaron variables espirométricas con resultados del TM6: distancia caminada, índice de Borg (IB), saturación de oxígeno (Sa0(2)) y frecuencia cardíaca (FC), mediante Rho de Spearman utilizando SPSS 11,5. No hubo correlación entre la distancia caminada y ninguna variable espirométrica; la CVF sólo se correlacionó con Sa0(2) final (rho = 0,4; p = 0,02). El resto de las variables espirométricas se correlacionaron con IB, Sa0(2) y FC; destacando VEF1 con: IB (rho = -0,7; p < 0,01), Sa0(2) (rho = 0,5; p < 0,01) y FC (rho = -0,5; p < 0,01). El IB también se correlacionó significativamente con FEV1/CVF (rho = -0,7; p < 0,01) y FEF25-75 (rho = -0,8; p < 0,01). La obstrucción al flujo aéreo, en especial un menor FEV1, se relaciona con altos IB y FC; además con una menor Sa0(2) al final del TM6. El aumento del IB es la variable que más se relacionó con obstrucción al flujo aéreo.

Bronquiolitis Obliterante (BO) en niños es una entidad nosológica pulmonar poco frecuente y de escaso entendimiento fisiológico. Sin embargo, para el kinesiólogo es fundamental conocerla a fondo, pues cuenta con un importante papel en la prevención, reconocimiento y tratamiento, tanto en la etapa aguda como secuelar. En este artículo se da a conocer el estado del arte de esta patología con énfasis en la BO post viral que en nuestro país es la más importante. El desarrollar estrategias terapéuticas innovadoras en ésta y otras patologías crónicas debe ser nuestro desafío en el futuro próximo.
