RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The comparative characteristic of respiratory muscles function in patients with bronchial obstruction JF European Respiratory Journal JO Eur Respir J FD European Respiratory Society SP p551 VO 38 IS Suppl 55 A1 Tetyana Pertseva A1 Olena Myronenko YR 2011 UL http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/38/Suppl_55/p551.abstract AB Almost all patients with bronchial obstruction have respiratory muscles (RM) dysfunction of various severity levels.The aim of our investigation was to evaluate the change of RM function in bronchial asthma (BA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients on different stage of diseases.Study population: 48 COPD and 12 BA patients were included. Subjects were divide depending on a stage of disease. The mean age of COPD pts. is 52,33±0,70 years, 8 females (22,3%) and 28 (77,7%) males. In gr. with BA the mean age is 49,78±5,64 years, 5 females (41,7%) and 7 (58,3%) males.Methods: Spirometry and pneumotonometry were performed by means MasterScreen Body/Diff (“Jaeger”, German). FEV1 and PImax were evaluated.Results: Results are performed in table 1.View this table:Conclusion: We estimate the dysfunction of RM in all groups pts with BA and COPD. Correlation interrelation between FEV1 and PImax in pts with BA was positive (r=0,78), in COPD pts – negative (r=-0,94). We assume, that obtained data should be considered at drawing up of individual programs of treatment and rehabilitation of COPD and BA pts.
