Asthma Clinical Trial
In patients with obstructive lung disease like asthma aerosol therapy is the most used for drug administration. A order to make better use of aerosolized drugs in asthmatic patients, studies focus on ways to optimize this administration. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of nebulized bronchodilators carried by heliox associated with positive expiratory pressure (PEP) in lung deposition of radiation activity in adult asthmatic patients between episodes and its impact on lung function. Methods: A randomized controlled trial involving 32 with a mean age of 47.28 ± 9.67 of which 25% of the sample are male, these patients were divided into four groups: heliox + PEP, + PEP oxygen, heliox and oxygen in Regarding the anthropometric characteristics, parameters and cardiopulmonary baseline spirometry data were similar for all groups. For inhalation lung scintigraphy was used a noninvasive delivery system - orofacial mask with two unidirectional valves nontoxic - inspiratory and expiratory branch - connected to the nebulizer for radioisotopes associated with PEP of 10 cm H2O. At the end of inhalation, the images were acquired in a scintillation camera at 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min. In order to analyze the aerosol deposition in different lung areas were delineated regions of interest (ROIs) in the vertical - the upper, middle and bottom - and horizontal central, intermediate and peripheral. Results: The spirometric data showed an increase in the values of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) predicted when compared with the heliox group + PEP (80%, p = 0.030) with PEP + O2 (65%, p = 0.030). As for CI, there was also an increase in PEP + heliox group (0.05 L, p = 0.012) compared to groups without oxygen and heliox PEP (0.03 L, 0.03 L, p = 0.012 respectively) for the total number of counts, no differences were seen between groups with heliox and oxygen with PEP PEP (482510, 577598, p = 0.262 respectively) for the total number of counts by comparing the oxygen group + PEP (577,598) with the heliox group (332,951, p = 0.004) and oxygen without PEP (409,526, p = 0.045), there was a greater number of counts in the O2 + PEP group. By analyzing the rate of pulmonary deposition (IDP) in the vertical gradient, higher deposition in the middle third (p = 0.001) when compared to upper and lower in both groups. With regard to IDPs in the horizontal gradient, there was greater deposition in the intermediate region when compared to central and peripheral (p = 0.003, 0.001 respectively) in all groups. As the penetration rate, no significant differences between groups (p = 0.726). When considering the pulmonary clearance, decreased with the number of counts over time within groups (p <0.05) but no differences between them: heliox + PEP (20.67%), PEP + oxygen (13.50%), heliox (16.27%) and oxygen (16%) - (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Although no differences in the rate of penetration and clearance of pulmonary radiation activity between groups, we noted a higher number of counts in patients who underwent nebulization with oxygen associated with PEP and a functional improvement in patients who underwent nebulization with PEP as spirometric values and CI.

Primary | Pulmonary deposition radioaerosol | For inhalation lung scintigraphy, was administered an average dose of acid dietilnotriaminopentaacético labeled with Technetium (DTPA - 99mTc) from 25 to 10 mCi associated bromide drops and 20 drops of Fenoterol bromide ipatropium diluted to a total of up to 3 ml saline 0.9%. | 6 mouths | Yes |
Secondary | Pulmonary Function | To obtain spirometric values and CI were asked the patients to perform three maneuvers. Spirometry were analyzed FEV1, PEF and forced vital capacity (FVC), considering the percentage of predicted as the best value recorded in accordance with American Thoracic Society. For CI, this correction was performed by body mass index (BMI) and weight. | The patient was the pulmonary function test before and after intervention. | Yes |
