RESUMO

Surgical procedures may affect respiratory muscles through various mechanisms. Previous patients health conditions may also contribute to increase this dysfunction. The objective of this study was to verify if respiratory muscle strength in the preoperative phase could influence the outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). It was an descriptive and prospective, cohort-type study, conducted in the Instituto de Cardiologia de Santa Catarina (ICSC), located in the city of São José/SC. The cohort was composed of male adults of any age and post menopause women waiting for elective RM surgery, without previous history of cardiac surgery, or recent aneurism and unstable angina. 28 patients were consecutively evaluated between the months of August and November of 2008, and the final cohort was composed of 24 individuals: 18 male adults and 6 women. Due to the preoperative evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength (RMS) 2 groups were formed: G1, composed of individuals with standard RMS value (n=13); and G2 (n=11), with abnormal RMS results (inspiratory pressure, Pimax, lower than 70% of the predicted value). In inferential statistics, we decided to adopt the Fishers exact and Mann-Whitney tests, besides risk calculations for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC), expressed by Relative Risk measurements (RR) Odds Ratio (OR) and with significance level of 5%. The results show that the groups were homogeneous, showing no significant difference in either the patients preoperative profile in both groups or in the surgical procedures conducted. There was a high prevalence of respiratory muscle dysfunction in preoperative: 46% of the patients had PImax <70% of the predicted value, 20,83% also presented PEmax <70% of the predicted value and abnormal postoperative spirometry. There was a significant reduction of RMS from pre to postoperative in both groups, where PImax and PEmax were significantly lower in G2 also in post operative. Postoperative evolution data, like mechanical ventilation time, ICU time, postoperative hospitalization, time degree of PPC did not estatistically differ between the groups. It was found an increase in the risk for G2 patients to develop PPC in relation to G1, with RR of 2.36 (IC 95% between 0.7636 and 7.316) and OR of 4.00 (IC 95% between 0.6927 and 23.099), although without statistical confirmation, probably due to the small sample.
