Abstract
We studied respiratory muscle endurance with an inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) device using Martyn's method (2-min incremental loading test) in 9 patients with chronic pulmonary emphysema (CPE patients) and in 9 elderly subjects with no lung disease (NE subjects), and their endurance was compared with that of 9 normal young subjects (NY subjects). In 11 cases (8 CPE patients and 3 NE subjects) a treadmill exercise test was performed and cardiopulmonary parameters obtained from the ITL and treadmill tests were compared. The maximum weight tolerated for 2 minutes (Wmax) and the mean peak inspiratory mouth pressure/maximum inspiratory mouth pressure ratio at the maximum load (Ppk/MIP at Max Load) were used as indices of respiratory muscle endurance. CPE patients had significantly decreased Wmax compared with those of NE and NY subjects. Wmax in all cases positively correlated with Ppk/MIP at Max Load, and endurance time of both the ITL and treadmill tests. During both tests, SaO2 significantly decreased, and heart rate and mean blood pressure significantly increased. There was less change in SaO2 and heart rate during the ITL test than during the treadmill test, and neither arrhythmias nor ST changes on ECG were observed during the ITL test. These results indicate that the ITL test can be easily and safely employed in CPE patients and elderly subjects to estimate respiratory muscle endurance.
我们采用Martyn法(2 min增量负荷试验)对9例慢性肺气肿(CPE)患者和9例无肺部疾病的老年受试者(NE)的吸气阈值负荷(ITL)装置进行了呼吸肌肉耐力的研究,并与9例正常青年受试者(NY)的耐力进行了比较。11例(8例CPE患者和3例NE患者)进行了跑步机运动试验,并比较了ITL和跑步机试验获得的心肺参数。以2分钟最大耐受重量(Wmax)和最大负荷下平均吸气口压峰值/最大吸气口压比(Ppk/MIP at Max load)作为呼吸肌耐力指标。CPE患者与NE和NY患者相比,Wmax显著降低。在所有情况下,Wmax与最大负荷时的Ppk/MIP、ITL和跑步机试验的耐力时间呈正相关。在两项测试中,SaO2均显著降低,心率和平均血压均显著升高。与跑步机试验相比,ITL试验期间SaO2和心率的变化较小,ITL试验期间ECG未观察到心律失常和ST的变化。这些结果表明,ITL试验可以方便和安全地用于CPE患者和老年受试者评估呼吸肌耐力。
