RESUMO
A avaliação da resposta broncodilatadora nas doenças pulmonares obstrutivas crônicas é fundamental no diagnóstico e no acompanhamento clínico, sendo importante no manejo terapêutico e na avaliação prognóstica. A espirografia é o primeiro teste funcional realizado e o mais importante na rotina da maioria desses pacientes. Outros testes, como a medida dos volumes estáticos e da resistência pulmonar, assim como o teste da caminhada de 6 minutos, podem ajudar nesta avaliação. A medida do óxido nítrico tem sido estudada na asma, mas a sua relevância clínica ainda não está estabelecida. A presente revisão descreve os testes funcionais mais usados na prática clínica e evidências científicas recentes sobre a melhor forma de interpretá-los.
ABSTRACT
The evaluation of the bronchodilator response in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is fundamental to the diagnosis and clinical follow up, also being important to the therapeutic management and the prognostic evaluation. The spirometry is the first and most important functional test in the routine of the majority of these patients. Other tests, as the measure of the static volumes and the pulmonary resistance, as well as the six-minutewalk test, may be help ful in this evaluation. The measure of exhaled nitric oxide levels has been studied in asthma, but its clinical relevance has not yet been established. The review describes the major functional tests used in clinical practice and the recent scientific evidences regarding the interpretation of the results of those tests.
