Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of different inspiratory loads and different interfaces on the breathing pattern and activity of the respiratory muscles. Methods: Twenty healthy adults were recruited and assigned to two groups (20% and 40% of the Maximal Inspiratory Pressure) by way of randomized crossover allocation. Subjects were evaluated during quiet breathing, breathing against inspiratory load, and recovery. The measurements were repeated using two different interfaces (nasal and oral). Chest wall volumes and respiratory muscle activity were assessed with optoelectronic plethysmography and surface electromyography, respectively. Results: During the application of inspiratory load, significant changes were observed in the respiratory rate (p < 0.04), inspiratory time (p < 0.02), minute ventilation (p < 0.04), tidal volume (p < 0.01), end-inspiratory volume (p < 0.04), end-expiratory volume (p < 0.03), and in the activity of the scalene, sternocleiomastoid, and parasternal portion of the intercostal muscles (RMS values, p < 0.01) when compared to quiet breathing, regardless of the load level or the interface applied. Inspiratory load application yielded significant differences between using nasal and oral interfaces with an increase in the tidal volume (p < 0.01), end-inspiratory volume (p < 0.01), and electrical activity of the scalene and sternocleiomastoid muscles (p < 0.01) seen with using the nasal interface. Conclusion: The addition of an inspiratory load has a significant effect on the breathing pattern and respiratory muscle electrical activity, and the effects are greater when the nasal interface is applied.

Acute Effects of Inspiratory Loads and Interfaces on Breathing Pattern and Activity of Respiratory Muscles in Healthy Subjects.

Purpose: Purpose: To compare the use of the Glatzel mirror and peak nasal inspiratory flow in the evaluation of mouth-breathing participants and to analyze the correlation between these instruments. Methods: Sixty-four children were evaluated  —  32 mouth breathers and 32 nasal breathers; the children were aged 4 to 12 years. The mouth breathers were subdivided according to the cause of obstruction by a multidisciplinary team. The Glatzel mirror and peak nasal inspiratory flow were used in both groups to evaluate patency and nasal airflow. Data were then subjected for statistical analysis. Results: The Glatzel mirror allowed us to differentiate the breathing mode considering gender, age, weight, height, and body mass index, but it did not help in identifying the cause of mouth breathing. The peak nasal inspiratory flow did not allow differentiation of the breathing mode and identification of the cause of mouth breathing. In our sample, there was no correlation between the instruments used. Conclusion: The Glatzel mirror was reliable in identifying participants with and without nasal obstruction, although it was not possible to differentiate subgroups of mouth breathers using this instrument. The peak nasal inspiratory flow showed differences only between nasal breathers and surgical mouth breathers. Low correlation was found between these two instruments.

Os fonoaudiologos que atuam no campo da Motricidade Orofacial atendem com frequencia, pacientes com obstrucao nasal; entretanto, nem sempre o acesso ao profissional responsavel pelo diagnostico otorrinolaringologico e facil. O Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow e um instrumento barato, de facil manuseio, amplamente citado na literatura internacional, que tem por objetivo avaliar a patencia nasal. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisao da literatura acerca do Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow, fornecendo subsidios para reflexoes acerca de seu emprego nos disturbios miofuncionais orofaciais e cervicais. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisao da literatura nas bases de dados Medline, Cochrane Library, LILACS e SciELO empregando-se os descritores peak, inspiratory, nasal e flow. O Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow mostrou-se uma tecnica simples, barata, validada e com boa reprodutibilidade. Parece, portanto, tratar-se de um instrumento util para avaliacao da patencia nasal, apesar de algumas limitacoes, fornecendo dados complementares ao diagnostico miofuncional orofacial e cervical. Entretanto, estudos clinicos precisam ser conduzidos para que se comprove ou refute a hipotese.

Peak nasal inspiratory flow: a possible instrument in orofacial myology?

BACKGROUND: We sought to evaluate the acute effects of different inspiratory loads using nasal and oral interfaces on the volumes of the chest wall and its compartments, breathing pattern, and respiratory muscle activation in children with mouth-breathing syndrome. METHODS: Children with mouth-breathing syndrome were randomized into 2 groups, one with an inspiratory load intensity 20% of maximum inspiratory pressure (n = 14), and the other with an inspiratory load intensity 40% of maximum inspiratory pressure (n = 15). The chest wall volumes and electromyography of sternocleidomastoid, rectus abdominis, scalene, and internal intercostal muscles were used to analyze respiration against the 2 load intensities and using 2 interfaces (ie, nasal and oral). RESULTS: A total of 72 children with mouth-breathing syndrome were recruited, and 29 were evaluated in this study. The use of inspiratory load promoted improvement in the components of the breathing pattern: breathing frequency (P = .039), inspiratory time (P = .03), and total respiratory time (P = .043); and increases in tidal volume (P CONCLUSIONS: The use of acute inspiratory loads improved the breathing pattern and increased lung volume and electrical activity of inspiratory muscles. This work brings new perspective to the investigation of using nasal interfaces during the application of inspiratory loads. The nasal interface was more effective compared to the oral interface commonly used in clinical practice.

The Oral Breathing Syndrome consists in a set of signals and symptoms presented by people who breaths partially or totally through the mouth. This alteration in the respiratory pattern may cause modifications in all body dynamics, which may cause reduction in ventilatory muscle strength (VMS) and, consequently, reduction of the respiratory flows, being this reduction also explained by the obstruction that provokes the syndrome. The aim of this work was to evaluate if a program based on Ventilatory Muscular Training (VMT) and Nasal Breathing Training (NBT) makes it possible an improvement in the VMS and in the nasal inspiratory flow. Were participants of this study 8 children from 5 to 12 years-old with medical diagnosis of Oral Breathing Syndrome (OBS), who were submitted to evaluation, which consisted in: anamnesis, physical examination, evaluation of the RMS, Peak of Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) test and postural evaluation. The training program consisted of 15 sessions, in which the children made RMT in the Nasomanometro and NBT concomitantly with the RMT, as well as through activities that stimulated the nasal breathing. After the training, a reevaluation was done. The results were submitted to the non-parametric test Wilcoxon (p<0,05) and was observed significant increase in the maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, in the maximal inspiratory and expiratory nasal pressures and in the PNIF, which means that the execution of VMT and NBT improved RMS and respiratory nasal flow in these children.

To evaluate the effects of oral supplementa- tion of L-carnitine associated with physical and respiratory muscles training in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Participated 14 COPD volunteers (65±10.4 years), divided in group training mat (GTM) and respiratory mus- cle training group (RMTG). Passed by the six minute walk test (6MWT) and shuttle walk test (SWT), nutritional as- sessment of body mass index (BMI), dose recommended daily L-carnitine and evaluation of the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and expiratory muscle training (EMT). They made 30 min walk on a treadmill 3 times/week for 10 weeks, and the RMTG also carried out 10 min with inspi- ratory muscle training (Threshold® IMT) and 10 min with expiratory muscle training (Threshold® PEP) with 50% of the MIP and MEP adjusted weekly. After 10 weeks, the vol- unteers were reevaluated. In 6MWT pre and post physical training programs, the variables changed were distance travelled (DT), final cardiac frequency (FCF), final systolic blood pressure (FSBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and final Borg in RMTG. At GTM the variables changed were ini- tial CF, final CF, SBP final, initial Borg and DT. Comparing the groups, we showed that in 6MWT, GTM presented final CF, final DBP and final Borg higher than RMTG in reevaluation. In shuttle walk test, the final SBP and final Borg were higher in GTM, and DT was higher in RMTG. In respiratory evalu- ation, the MEP was higher in RMTG in reevaluation. The aerobic training and L-carnitine supplementation in COPD patients presented performance optimization, improve- ment in physical capacity and greater exercise tolerance.

RESUMO: A realizacao de exercicio fisico regular e a terapia nao-medicamentosa de primeira escolha para tratamento de individuos com Sindrome Metabolica (SM), com reducao de peso, melhora da sensibilidade a insulina, diminuicao dos niveis de glicose, prevencao do aparecimento de diabetes e melhora da qualidade de vida (QV). O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os beneficios de um programa de caminhada supervisionada (PCS) na QV de individuos com SM. Participaram 8 voluntarios com SM (63 ± 9,65 anos). Antes do PCS todos realizaram o teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6’), o teste de caminhada com carga progressiva ou Shuttle Walk Test (TCP) e foi aplicado o questionario de QV SF-36, verificando as variaveis: distância percorrida (DP), percepcao de esforco pela escala de Borg, pressao arterial e frequencia cardiaca em repouso e ao final dos testes. Os voluntarios foram orientados a caminhar 30 minutos, 2 vezes por semana por 10 semanas, sempre com a supervisao do pesquisador, e, ao final do PCS, foram reavaliados com o mesmo protocolo da avaliacao. Apos a verificacao da normalidade dos dados, optou-se pelo teste Wilcoxon para variaveis dependentes e para analise de correlacao o teste de Speerman. No TC6’ e no TCP, observou-se aumento na DP com menor Borg final. Na avaliacao da QV observou-se aumento na pontuacao total do SF-36, bem como nos dominios analisados de forma individualizada. Conforme os resultados obtidos, conclui-se que o PCS aumentou a tolerância aos esforcos, com menor sensacao de dispneia e melhora da QV em individuos com SM.
