Introduction: The inhalation route is currently the preferred method for administering drugs in the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases, contributing to improving the quality of life of patients. There are several inhalation systems available: dry powder inhalers, pressurized inhalers and nebulizers. The amount of drug deposited at the level of the airways depends, among other factors, on the device used and on the way the inhalation technique is performed. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the technique and understanding of the use of inhalation devices in patients with chronic respiratory diseases, identifying the main errors and the different clinical profiles of patients. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional observational study, using a standardized questionnaire and checklist as a data collection instrument submitted to patients undergoing chronic lung diseases, seen at the pulmonology outpatient clinic of the CESUPA Medical Specialties Center (CEMEC). Data collection started with socioeconomic variables. Then, the clinical conditions of each patient were questioned and, finally, patients were asked to demonstrate objectively the way in which they used their respective devices. Results: Among the 50 participants, 98% performed the inhalation technique incorrectly and 28% stated that they had never received any guidance regarding the use of the devices. Among the 29 users of pressurized devices, a total of 85 errors were verified in the inhalation technique, while among the 26 who used powdered devices, a total of 55 errors were verified. Among patients who used dry powder devices, expiration and removal of the used capsule were the steps with the most errors, and among users of pressurized devices, the device's agitation and tilting the head back were the most compromised phases. Conclusion: Factors such as age, education and socioeconomic conditions can influence the patient's learning and, therefore, practical measures must be taken in order to reduce the amount of errors in the use of the devices, observing the learning capacity and the main difficulties of learning. each group of patients. Errors were more frequent among those who used pressurized devices compared to those who used dry powder devices.
Avaliação clínica da gravidade em pacientes portadores de Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) atendidos no CEMEC – CESUPA

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - COPD is a common, preventable and irreversible condition, defined as a syndrome characterized by chronic airflow limitation, evolving with destruction of the pulmonary parenchyma. Smoking is the main cause and respiratory signs and symptoms characterize it. The FEV1 / FVC ratio < 0.7 after bronchodilator administration is used for diagnosis and is classified by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) in ABCD for clinical severity and 1234 for degree of obstruction. Objectives: General: To evaluate the severity of COPD in patients followed at CEMEC. Specifics: 1) Classify patients according to severity in groups A, B, C and D. 2) Characterize the relationship of severity with the variables gender, age, BMI, smoking load, oximetry and medications in use of the patients studied. 3) Characterize the relationship of variables with the mMRC scales and exacerbating profile. 4) Compare FEV1 among patients classified by symptomatology. 5) Compare the spirometric profile of exacerbating and non-exacerbating patients. Methodology: The medical records were searched through ICD J44 in CEMEC where 25 of them fit the delimited profile and their variables were collected and analyzed. Results: A higher prevalence was found in groups C and D (66.66%), aged 55 to 78 years, with the highest mean BMI in group B (30.9 kg / m2) and most females (12). / 21). Post-bronchodilator FEV1 was found to be higher in less symptomatic patients (59.4 ± 24.1). 61.11% of the patients had a smoking load > 20 packs / year, most of them also exacerbating (13/21). Regarding the therapy applied to the GOLD ABCD groups (n = 17), it was found that 12 were on monotherapy, five in combination and only one had no scheme. Conclusion: A significant number of patients who did not really fit the ICD J44 were observed; Of the 25 patients, only 21 had sufficient data for ABCD classification, among them, most were in groups C and D. The female gender was more prevalent, as well as the patients with the highest smoking load; Among the most symptomatic, there was a higher obstructive degree, and it was possible to trace the severity profile of these patients treated at the service.
