Introdução: A respiração diafragmática (RD) é uma técnica que integra um conjunto de ações de auto-cuidado no programa de reabilitação pulmonar com objetivo de melhorar a mecânica ventilatória e reduzir a dispnéia em pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). No entanto, questiona-se sua indicação e seus efeitos. Nesse contexto avaliamos o efeito da RD no padrão respiratório, movimento toracoabdominal e ventilação em pacientes com DPOC. Método: Foram estudados 44 indivíduos entre 45 e 75 anos conforme o grau de obstrução da via aérea (VEF1), divididos em grupos controle, DPOC moderado e DPOC grave. Avaliou-se padrão respiratório, movimento toracoabdominal e ventilação por meio de sistemas de pletismografia respiratória por indutância (Respitrace) e análise metabólica de gases (MGC) durante 10 minutos. Após quatro minutos de respiração tranqüila os indivíduos realizavam dois minutos de respiração diafragmática e novamente, quatro de respiração tranqüila. Dispnéia foi avaliada antes, durante e após a RD (escala de Borg modificada). Mobilidade diafragmática foi avaliada utilizando radiografias de tórax. Resultados: Verificou-se aumento do volume corrente e redução da freqüência respiratória durante a RD a partir da elevação do fluxo inspiratório médio e do tempo inspiratório. Houve maior participação do compartimento abdominal com o grupo moderado apresentando incoordenação. A ventilação pulmonar se elevou em associação à redução na ventilação em espaço morto, no equivalente ventilatório para o gás carbônico, e elevação da saturação periférica de oxigênio. Mobilidade diafragmática, ausência de dispnéia, menor grau de hipoxemia e movimento toracoabdominal coordenado associaram-se ao melhor desempenho da RD. Conclusões: A respiração diafragmática é capaz de promover melhora no padrão respiratório e eficiência ventilatória sem conduzir a dispnéia naqueles pacientes com sistema muscular respiratório preservado.

Abstract in English
Introduction: Diaphragmatic breathing (DB) is a technique which is part of a set of self-care actions in the lung rehabilitation program for the purpose of improving the ventilatory mechanical and reducing dyspnea. There are doubts, however, as to its effects and recommended use. In this context we assessed the effect of the DB on respiratory pattern, thoracoabdominal motion and ventilation in patients with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD). Method: Forty-four subjects aged between 45 and 75 years were studied according to the degree of obstruction of the airway (FEV1). This group was subdivided into three: a control group and two others, respectively, of moderate and severe COPD. Their breathing pattern, thoracoabdominal motion and ventilation by means of respiratory inductive plethysmograph (Respitrace) and metabolic analysis of gases (MGC) systems were assessed during ten minutes. After four minutes of quiet breathing, the subjects would perform two minutes of the DB and four other minutes of quiet breathing. Dyspnea was assessed before, during and after diaphragmatic breathing (modified Borg scale). Diaphragmatic mobility was assessed by thoracic radiography. Results: An increase in tidal volume and a reduction in breathing frequency were found during DB as from the rise in mean inspiratory flow and inspiratory time. There was greater participation of the abdominal compartment with the moderate group presenting asynchronous motion. The pulmonary ventilation increased together with the reduction of the ventilation in the dead space and of the ventilatory equivalent for carbonic gas, with the increase in arterial oxygen saturation. Diaphragmatic mobility, absence of dyspnea, minor degree of hypoxemia and coordinated thoracoabdominal motion were associated with the better DB performance. Conclusions: Diaphragmatic breathing is capable of promoting an improvement in the breathing pattern and ventilatory efficiency without provoking dyspnea in patients whose muscular respiratory system has been preserved.
