Objectives: To evaluate the influence of obesity in the movement of thoracoabdominal complex at rest and during maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), and the contribution between the different compartments of this complex and the volume changes of chest wall between obese and non-obese patients. Materials and Methods: We studied 16 patients divided into two groups: the obese group (n = 8) and group non-obese (n = 8). The two groups were homogeneous in terms of spirometric characteristics (FVC mean: 4.97 ? 0.6 L - 92.91 ? 10.17% predicted, and 4.52 ? 0.6 L - 93.59 ? 8.05%), age 25.6 ? 5.0 and 26.8 ? 4.9 years, in non-obese and obese respectively. BMI was 24.93 ? 3.0 and 39.18 ? 4.3 kg/m2 in the groups investigated. All subjects performed breathing calm and slow and maneuver MVV, during registration for optoelectronic plethysmography. Statistical analysis: we used the unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney. Results: Obese individuals had a lower percentage contribution of the rib cage abdominal (RCa) during breathing at rest and VVM. The variation of end expiratory (EELV) and end inspiratory (EILV) lung volumes were lower in obese subjects. It has been found asynchrony and higher distortion between compartments of thoracoabdominal complex in obese subjects when compared to non-obese. Conclusions: Central obesity impairs the ventilation lung, reducing to adaptation efforts and increasing the ventilatory work / Contextualiza??o: A obesidade pode afetar o sistema respirat?rio, causando altera??es na mec?nica ventilat?ria, nos volumes e fluxos pulmonares. Objetivos: Avaliar a influ?ncia da obesidade no movimento do complexo t?raco-abdominal durante o repouso e durante a ventila??o volunt?ria m?xima (VVM), assim como a contribui??o entre os diferentes compartimentos desse complexo e as varia??es de volume da parede tor?cica e entre obesos e n?o obesos. Materiais e M?todos: Foram avaliados 16 indiv?duos divididos em dois grupos: grupo de obesos (n = 8) e grupo de eutr?ficos (n = 8). Os dois grupos foram homog?neos quanto ?s caracter?sticas espirom?tricas (m?dia de CVF: 4,97 ? 0,6 L 92,91 ? 10,17 % do predito, e 4,52 ? 0,6 L 93,59 ? 8,05 %), idade 25,6 ? 5,0 e 26,8 ? 4,9 anos, em eutr?ficos e obesos respectivamente. O IMC foi de 24,93 ? 3,0 e 39,18 ? 4,3 kg/m2, nos grupos investigados. Todos os sujeitos realizaram respira??o calma e lenta e a manobra de Ventila??o volunt?ria m?xima, durante o registro por pletismografia optoeletr?nica. Para an?lise estat?stica, foram utilizados os testes t n?o pareado e de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: Os indiv?duos obesos apresentaram menor contribui??o percentual da caixa tor?cica abdominal (RCa) durante a respira??o em repouso e na VVM. A varia??o dos volumes pulmonares expirat?rio (VEE) e inspirat?rio finais (VEI) foram menores nos sujeitos obesos. Foram constatados maiores assincronia e distor??o entre os compartimentos do complexo t?raco-abdominal nos obesos, quando comparados aos eutr?ficos. Conclus?es: A obesidade central interfere negativamente na ventila??o pulmonar, reduzindo a adapta??o aos esfor?os e incrementando o trabalho ventilat?rio

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of adapting a national electronic manovacuometer to measure the nasal inspiratory pressure (study 1) and analyze the level of load intensity of maximum voluntary ventilation, as well as the variables that may influence this maneuver in healthy subjects (study 2). We studied 20 healthy subjects by a random evaluation of two measures of SNIP in different equipments: a national and an imported. In study 2 it was analyzed the intensity of the load of MVV test, change in pressure developed during the maneuver, the possible differences between genders, and the correlations between the flow developed in the test and the result of MVV. In study 1 it was found the average for both measures of nasal inspiratory pressures: 125 ? 42.4 cmH2O for the imported equipment and 131.7 ? 28.7 cmH2O for the national one. Pearson analysis showed a significant correlation between the average, with a coefficient r = 0.63. The average values showed no significant differences evaluated by paired t test (p> 0.05). In the Bland-Altman analysis it was found a BIAS = 7 cmH2O, SD 32.9 and a confidence interval of - 57.5 cmH2O up to 71.5 cmH2O. In the second study it was found significant differences between the genders in the air volume moved, being higher in males 150.9 ? 13.1 l / min vs 118.5 ? 15.7 L / min for (p = 0.0002, 95% CI 44.85 to 20:05). Regarding the inspiratory and expiratory loading, they were significantly higher in men than in women, peak inspiratory pressure (34.7 ? 5.3 cmH2O vs 19.5 ? 4.2 cmH2O, 95% CI - 18.0 to -12.3, p <0.0001), peak expiratory (33.8 vs. 23.1 ? 5.9 cmH2O ? 5.4 cmH2O, 95% CI -17.1 to - 4.6, p <0.0001), and the delta pressure (59.7 ? 10 cmH2O vs 36.8 ? 8.3 cmH2O, 95% CI 14.5 to 31.2, p <0.0002). The Pearson correlation showed that the flow generated by the maneuver is strongly correlated with the delta-expiratory pressure / inspiratory (r2= 0.83,R = 0.91, 95%IC 0.72 a 0.97 e p< 0.0001).Through these results we suggest that the national electronic manovacuometer is feasible and safe to perform the sniff test in healthy subjects. For the MVV, there are differences between the genders in the intensity of pressure developed during the maneuver. We found a load intensity considered low during the MVV, and found a strong correlation between the flow generated in the test and the delta pressure expiratory / inspiratory / A import?ncia clinica de avaliar os m?sculos respirat?rios com uma variedade de testes vem sendo proposta por diversos trabalhos, pois a combina??o de v?rios testes possibilitaria um melhor diagn?stico e consequentemente um melhor seguimento cl?nico das disfun??es dos m?sculos respirat?rios. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a viabilidade da adapta??o do manovacu?metro nacional eletr?nico para a realiza??o da medida de press?o inspirat?ria nasal (estudo 1) e analisar o n?vel de intensidade de carga da ventila??o volunt?ria m?xima, assim como as vari?veis que possam influenciar a manobra em sujeitos saud?veis (estudo 2). Foram estudados 20 sujeitos saud?veis atrav?s da avalia??o aleat?ria de duas medidas de SNIP em equipamentos diferentes: um nacional e outro importado. No estudo 2 foi analisado a intensidade da carga do teste da ventila??o volunt?ria m?xima(VVM), a varia??o de press?o desenvolvida durante manobra, as poss?veis diferen?as entre g?neros, e as correla??es entre o fluxo desenvolvido no teste e o resultado da VVM. No estudo 1 as m?dias encontradas durante as duas medidas das press?es nasais foram de 125 ? 42,4 cmH2O para o aparelho importado e de 131,7 ? 28,7 cmH2O para o nacional. A an?lise de Pearson demonstrou uma correla??o significativa entre as m?dias com um coeficiente r=0.63. Os valores m?dios n?o apresentaram diferen?as significativas avaliadas pelo teste t pareado (p>0,05).Na an?lise de Bland-Altman foi encontrado um BIAS igual a 7 cmH2O, desvio padr?o 32,9 e um intervalo de confian?a de - 57,5cmH2O at? 71,5 cmH2O. No estudo 2 foi encontrada diferen?a significativa entre os g?neros para o volume de ar deslocado maior em homens 150.9 ? 13.1 l/mim vs 118.5 ? 15.7 L/mim para (p= 0.0002, IC95% 20.05 ? 44.85). Em rela??o carga inspirat?ria e expirat?ria foram significativamente maiores em homens que nas mulheres: pico inspirat?rio (34.7 ? 5.3 cmH2O vs 19.5 ? 4.2 cmH2O, IC95% - 18.0 a -12.3, p< 0.0001), pico expirat?rio (33.8 ? 5.9 cmH2O vs 23.1 ? 5.4 cmH2O, IC95% -17.1 a - 4.6, p< 0.0001), assim como o delta de press?o (59.7 ? 10 cmH2O vs 36.8 ? 8.3 cmH2O, IC95% 14.5 a 31.2 , p< 0.0002). A correla??o de Pearson mostrou que o fluxo gerado pela manobra est? fortemente correlacionado com o delta de press?o expirat?ria/inspirat?ria (r2= 0.83,R = 0.91, (95%IC 0.72 a 0.97 e p< 0.0001). Atrav?s dos resultados encontrados podemos sugerir que o manovacu?metro eletr?nico nacional ? vi?vel e seguro para realiza??o do sniff teste em sujeitos saud?veis. Em rela??o a VVM, existem diferen?as entre os g?neros na intensidade de press?o desenvolvida durante a VVM, a uma intensidade de carga durante a VVM foi considerada baixa assim como foi encontrada uma forte correla??o entre o fluxo gerado no teste e o delta de press?o expirat?rio/inspirat?rio
