RESUMEN

Introducción:

La espirometría es el examen más utilizado para evaluar la función pulmonar. El año 2007 se publicaron guías que definieron criterios de aceptabilidad y repetibilidad para su realización e interpretación en preescolares. Nuestro objetivo fue describir las espirometrías de pacientes de este grupo etario según el cumplimiento de estos criterios. Pacientes y

Método:

Se revisaron las espirometrías basales de pacientes de 2 a 5 años realizadas en el Laboratorio de Función Pulmonar Pediátrico de la P. Universidad Católica de Chile derivados por tos o sibilancias recurrentes o persistentes. Se consideraron solo las obtenidas en pacientes que la realizaban por primera vez. Se analizaron según criterios internacionales.

Resultados:

Se obtuvieron 93 espirometrías (edad promedio 57,4 ± 8,6 meses, 48 varones) 44 (47%) tuvieron todos los criterios aceptables, 87 (93%) obtuvieron un tiempo espiratorio ≥ 0,5 segundos, 67 (72%) de los pacientes tuvieron un flujo espiratorio de final de espiración en valor ≤ 10% del flujo espiratorio máximo. La variabilidad de las mediciones de capacidad vital forzada (CVF) y volumen espirado al primer segundo (VEF1) fue muy baja (coeficiente de correlación intraclase > 0,9).

Conclusión:

En nuestro centro fue factible cumplir criterios de aceptabilidad y repetibilidad en espirometrías en preescolares, semejante a descripciones previas. Al igual que en niños mayores, se recomienda realizar este examen en preescolares que requieren estudio de la función pulmonar.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Spirometry is the most used test to evaluate pulmonary function. Guidelines that defined acceptability and repeatability criteria for its implementation and interpretation among preschoolers were published in 2007. Our objective was to quantify the actual compliance with these criteria among pre-school patients.

Methods:

A review was performed on the baseline spirometry measured in patients aged 2 to 5 years in the Pediatric Respiratory Laboratory of the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, who were admitted due to recurrent or persistent coughing or wheezing. Only those results obtained in patients who took the test for the first time were considered. They were analyzed by international standards.

Results:

A total of 93 spirometry results (mean age 57.4 ± 8.6 months, 48 males) were obtained, of which 44 (47%) met all acceptable criteria, 87 (93%) obtained expiratory time of ≥ 0.5 seconds, and 67 (72 %) of the patients had an end-expiratory flow of ≤ 10% from peak flow. The variation in the measurement of forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) was very low (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9).

Conclusion:

It was possible to meet the acceptability and repeatability criteria for spirometry among pre-school children in our Center, which was similar to previous reports. As in older children, this test is fully recommended for pre-school children who require lung function studies.
