Archivos de Bronconeumología

ISSN: 0300-2896

Archivos de Bronconeumologia is an international journal that publishes original studies whose content is based upon results of research initiatives dealing with several aspects of respiratory medicine including epidemiology, respiratory physiology, pathophysiology of respiratory diseases, clinical management, thoracic surgery, pediatric lung diseases, respiratory critical care, respiratory allergy and basic research. Other types of articles such as editorials, reviews, and different types of letters are also published in the journal. Additionally, the journal expresses the voice of the following scientific societies: the Spanish Respiratory Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR; https://www.separ.es/), the Latin American Thoracic Society (ALAT; https://alatorax.org/), and the Iberian American Association of Thoracic Surgery (AIACT; http://www.aiatorax.com/).

It is a monthly journal in which all manuscripts are sent to peer-review and handled by the editor or an associate editor from the team and the final decision is made on the basis of the comments from the expert reviewers and the editors. The journal is published solely in English. All the published data is composed of novel manuscripts not previously published in any other journal and not being in consideration for publication in any other journal..

The journal is indexed at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/Pubmed, Embase and SCOPUS. Access to any published article is possible through the journal's web page as well as from Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and other international databases. Furthermore, the journal is also present in X, Facebook and Linkedin. Manuscripts can be submitted electronically using the following web site: https://www.editorialmanager.com/ARBR/.

Statistics

Los valores de presión esofágica (Pes), gástrica (Pga) y transdiafragmática (Pdi) se pueden obtener por varios métodos. El de referencia es calcular su valor medio por planimetría de la curva. Como alternativas se han propuesto el valor medio obtenido por cuadratura y el valor máximo (“pico”). Las tres técnicas se comparan en 12 pacientes con EPOC. La cuadratura mostró Pes similares a la planimetría (-11,2 ± 1,0 vs -11,6 ± 1,1 cmH2O, NS), aunque las Pga fueron algo inferiores (3,8 ± 0,5 frente a 4,2 ± 0,5 cmH2O, p < 0,05). Sólo en 3 curvas de Pga pudo efectuarse la cuadratura; en el resto se calculó el área geométricamente. La diferencia en las Pga se expresó en las Pdi (15,0 ± 1,2 cmH2O frente a 15,8 ± 1,2; p < 0,05), pero desapareció para Pdi/Pdimax y TTdi. Las P pico (Pes -15,2 ± 1,1, Pga 8,2 ± 1,0 y Pdi 23,4 ± 1,7 cmH2O) fueron muy superiores a las P medias. La transformación cuadrática constituye una buena alternativa para la determinación de la Pes en pacientes con EPOC, aunque es menos útil para la Pga. Las P pico no debieran utilizarse.

The values of esophageal (Pes), gastric (Pga) and transdiaphragmatic (Pdi) pressure may be obtained by several methods. That of reference is to calculate their mean values by curve planimetry. The mean value obtained by squaring and the maximum value (peak) have been proposed as alternatives. The three techniques were compared in 12 patients with COPD. Squaring demostrated similar Pes to that of planimetry (-11.2 ± 1.0 vs -11.6 ± 1.1 cmH2O, NS) although the Pga were somewhat lower (3.8 ± 0.5 vs 4.2 ± 0.5 cmH2O, p < 0.05). Squaring could only be performed in 3 Pga curves, in the remaining the area was calculated geometrically. The difference in the Pga was expressed in the Pdi (15.0 ± 1.2 cmH2 vs 15.8 ± 1,2; p < 0.05) but disappeared for Pdi/Pdimax and TTdi. The P peak (Pes -15.2 ± 1.1, Pga 8.2 ± 1.0 and Pdi 23.4 ±1.7 cmH2O) were much higher than the mean pressures. Square transformation constitutes a good alternative for the determination of Pes in patients with COPD although it is less useful for the Pga. The P peak should not be used.
