Resumo

Introdução: Asma e rinite frequentemente coexistem no mesmo paciente. Parece existir uma condição que afecta o tracto respiratório como um todo e que pode produzir sintomas na via aérea inferior e/ou superior.

Objetivo: Estudar as alterações funcionais das vias aéreas inferiores e superiores em pacientes em crise de asma antes e pós-curso de corticóide oral.

Métodos: No período de Julho de 2000 a Agosto de 2002, dezasseis pacientes (69% do sexo feminino) em crise de asma com sintomas de rinite atendidos no pronto atendimento de pneumologia foram analisados por meio de um ensaio clínico observacional porquestionário de sintomas, exame físico, radiograma, espirometria, rinometria acústica e rinomanometria computadorizada.

Resultados: Dezasseis pacientes apresentaram sintomas de comprometimento das vias aéreas superiores. Na espirometria, o VEF1, o VEF1 /CVF e o FEF25-75%, apresentaram diferenças estatísticas significativas. A rinometria acústica apresentou diferença estatística significativa na área variável transversal mínima 1 e 2 do lado esquerdo e volume total nasal, pós-intervenção medicamentosa.

Conclusões: Nas avaliações funcionais de vias aéreas inferiores e superiores, foram observadas melhora do VEF1, VEF1 /CVF e FEF, medidos pela espirometria e do volume total nasal, analisado pela 25-75% rinometria acústica pós-intervenção de corticóide oral.

Abstract

Introduction: Asthma and rhinitis frequently coexist in the same patient. It may exist a specific condition witch affects the general respiratory activity and also able to produce symptoms into upper and/ or lower airways.

Purpose: To analyze the alteration and functional burst of upper and lower airways before and after oral corticoid.

Methods: From July of 2000 to August of 2002, sixteen (69 % was female), acute asthmatics patients with rhinitis symptom assisted in the pneumology department, were analyzed through cross-sectional study using: symptoms questionnaire, physical examination, radiogram, spirometry, acoustic rhinometry, and rhinomanometry.

Results: Sixteen patients presented compromising symptoms of the upper airways. In the spirometry, FEV1, FEV1 /FVC e FEF, presented major statistically differences. The acoustic rhinometry 25-75% presented important statistical differences in the minimal cross- sectional area 1 e 2 in the left side and total nasal volume, after medicine intervention.

Conclusions: The functional evaluations upon lower and upper airways, improvements in FEV1, FEV1 / FVC e FEF, were observed through spirometry 25-75% and total nasal volume, analyzing the acoustic rhinometry after oral corticoid.
