The inspiratory airflow rate is the only active force generated and operating in the system for inducing the required pressure drop and eliciting the resistance-induced turbulence needed to disaggregate the powder through the device. The present study aimed to investigate in the most prevalent respiratory disorders whether and at what extent the inspiratory airflow rate achievable when inhaling through a DPIs' simulator reproducing different intrinsic resistance regimens (low, mid, and high resistance) is affected by peculiar changes in lung function and/or can be predicted by any specific lung function parameter.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The inspiratory airflow rate was assessed in randomized order by the In-Check DIAL G16 at low, mid, and high resistance regimens in a sample of consecutive subjects at recruitment. Independent predictors of the probability to achieve the expected inhalation airflow rate were investigated by means of a multivariate logistic regression model, specific to the disease.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 114 subjects were recruited (asthmatics n=30; COPD n=50, restrictive patients n=16, and normal subjects n=18). The mean values of the expected inspiratory airflow rate achieved proved significantly different within the groups (p<0.0001), independently of sex and age. In asthmatics and in COPD patients, the mid-resistance regimen proved highly associated with the highest mean values of airflow rates obtained. Low- and high-resistance regimens were significantly less likely to consent to achieve the expected level of inspiratory airflow rate (OR<1 in all comparisons). Restrictive patients performed the lowest airflow rates at the low-resistance regimen (p<0.01).

The patients' lung function profile also affects the extent of their inhalation airflow rate. Some specific lung function parameters (such as: FIF; RV; I<sub>Raw</sub>; TLC, but not FEV<sub>1</sub>) may be regarded as specific predictors in real-life.

The objective is to describe causal factors for persistent dyspnoea in patients after COVID-19. We examined patients reporting dyspnoea after recovery from COVID-19 by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. After exclusion of patients with pre-existing lung diseases, ten patients (mean age 50±13.1 years) were retrospectively analysed between May 14th and September 15th, 2020. On chest computed tomography, five patients showed residual ground glass opacities, and one patient showed streaky residua. A slight reduction of the mean diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide was noted in the cohort. Mean peak oxygen uptake was reduced with 1512±232 ml/min (72.7% predicted), while mean peak work rate was preserved with 131±29 W (92.4% predicted). Mean alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (AaDO2) at peak exercise was 25.6±11.8 mmHg. Mean value of lactate post exercise was 5.6±1.8 mmol/l. A gap between peak work rate in (92.4% predicted) to peak oxygen uptake (72.3% pred.) was detected in our study cohort. Mean value of lactate post exercise was high in our study population and even higher (n.s.) compared to the subgroup of patients with reduced peak oxygen uptake and other obvious reason for limitation. Both observations support the hypothesis of anaerobic metabolism. The main reason for dyspnoea may therefore be muscular.","PeriodicalId":49031,"journal":{"name":"Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":"732"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/f3/34/mrm-16-1-732.PMC7893311.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25398652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
