Resumen

Se estudiaron 31 enfermos con bronconeumopatía obstructiva crónica, separados tipológicamente según sus características clínicas, desde un punto de vista funcional en busca de los criterios con mayor capacidad diferencial. Los Grupos A («enfisema») y B («bronquitis crónica») mantuvieron un comportamiento funcional claramente distinto. Los índices estáticos de elasticidad utilizados (compliance estática, resorte elástico e índice de retracción) y en menor cuantía los gases arteriales, fueron los parámetros más útiles en esta diferenciación. Los pacientes con características clínicas mezcla de los anteriores (Grupo C) no sólo se diferenciaron de forma más pobre sino que mostraron un comportamiento menos coherente que pudiera achacarse a los criterios empleados para su selección.

Summary

The authors studied a group of 31 patients with chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy who were separated typologically according to their clinical characteristics, from a functional point of view in the search for criteria with greater differential capacity. Groups A (Emphysema) and B (Chronic Bronchitis) maintained a clearly distinct functional behaviour. The static indices of elasticity used (static compliance, elastic spring and idex of retraction) and to a lesser degree the arterial gases, were the most useful parameters in this differentiation. The patients with clinical characteristics that were a mixture of the previous ones (Group C) not only were differentiated in a poorer way but also showed a less coherent behaviour that could be attributed to the criteria used for their selection.
