简要总结
Bronchiectasis is characterized by abnormal and irreversible airway dilation and can be caused by a wide variety of diseases, including congenital diseases, mechanical bronchial obstruction, respiratory infections, and immunodeficiencies. It is a chronic condition with varying severity. Although some patients remain stable for years, the natural history of the disease is progressive deterioration of lung function, Regarding pulmonary function in this group of patients, there are several changes. In a study of 304 patients with bronchiectasis, spirometry was performed in 274 patients. Most of these patients (46.7%) had an obstructive ventilatory disorder, a small percentage of patients (8%) had restrictive disorder and a portion of patients (23.7%) had mixed disorder. The remaining patients (21.5%) had normal spirometry. Dyspnea in this situation occurs due to neuromechanical dissociation, that is, the respiratory drive is increased, but the inspiratory muscles show a reduction in their ability to produce effective ventilation. Besides not knowing if dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is present in patients with bronchiectasis, the mechanism responsible for its onset is also unknown. Exercise capacity is reduced in many patients with bronchiectasis, but there is little information about the exercise response in this population.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of dynamic hyperinflation in patients with bronchiectasis
详细描述
Bronchiectasis is characterized by abnormal and irreversible airway dilation and can be caused by a wide variety of diseases, including congenital diseases, mechanical bronchial obstruction, respiratory infections, and immunodeficiencies.
It is a chronic condition with varying severity. Although some patients remain stable for years, the natural history of the disease is progressive deterioration of lung function, chronic respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension, and right ventricular failure.
Bronchiectasis is a consequence of injury and remodeling with destruction of structural components of the bronchial wall by inflammation and chronic or recurrent infection.The best-known model of developing bronchiectasis is the hypothesis of Cole's vicious cycle. An environmental insult associated with a genetic predisposition impairs mucociliary transport resulting in persistence of microorganisms in the bronchial tree. The infection causes inflammation resulting in tissue damage and further impairing ciliary motility. This leads to further infection, inflammation and lung damage.The patient with bronchiectasis has a cough, chronic sputum, hemoptysis and progressive dyspnea. The clinical course is marked by recurrent infectious exacerbations and over time the patient develops progressive airway obstruction with functional loss.
Regarding pulmonary function in this group of patients, there are several changes. In a study of 304 patients with bronchiectasis, spirometry was performed in 274 patients. Most of these patients (46.7%) had an obstructive ventilatory disorder, a small percentage of patients (8%) had restrictive disorder and a portion of patients (23.7%) had mixed disorder. The remaining patients (21.5%) had normal spirometry.
Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is characterized by progressive air trapping, which leads to increased end-expiratory lung volume (equivalent to dynamic functional residual capacity) associated with decreased inspiratory capacity (IC) in situations where ventilation is increased, such as exercise. . Dynamic hyperinflation is one of the mechanisms responsible for dyspnea and reduced exercise tolerance in patients with conditions that lead to expiratory flow limitation, such as asthma and COPD.

结局指标
主要结局
Prevalence of dynamic hyperinflation during cardiopulmonary exercise testing
时间窗: Day 1 (single visit)
During cardiopulmonary exercising testing, patients were asked to perform inspiratory capacity maneuvers every 2 minutes. Dynamic hyperinflation was considered as present when the patient had a reduction of 10% or more of the inspiratory capacity.
