RESUMO

Introducción: Las enfermedades pulmonares intersticiales son un grupo de afecciones raras con una importante morbimortalidad. La metaplasia peribronquiolar, también conocida como lambertosis, es un hallazgo histológico inespecífico que puede encontrarse en estas patologías. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso clínico de un niño con dificultad respiratoria y necesidad de oxigenoterapia suplementaria desde el periodo de lactancia. Se observó un infiltrado alvéolo-intersticial en la tomografía computarizada de tórax, por lo que ante la clínica y la imagen, la sospecha diagnóstica fue de neumopatía intersticial. La primera biopsia pulmonar no mostraba alteraciones. Al inicio recibió tratamiento con corticoides sistémicos y broncodilatadores de mantenimiento. Con una evolución clínica fluctuante y debido a la persistencia de las necesidades de oxígeno, se realizó una segunda biopsia pulmonar, cuyos hallazgos eran compatibles con una lambertosis. Finalmente el paciente inició tratamiento con hidroxicloroquina. En la actualidad realiza una vida prácticamente normal y sólo precisa oxígeno domiciliario en escasas ocasiones. Discusión: En este paciente, dada la clínica y la imagen compatibles, el resultado normal de la biopsia no descartó en un principio la patología intersticial. En los adultos la lambertosis se ha asociado con el tabaco y los agentes infecciosos, mientras que en los niños parece estar relacionada con causas genéticas. Se llevó a cabo un tratamiento con corticoides y, en segunda línea, con hidroxicloroquina. Conclusiones: Aunque el diagnóstico definitivo de la metaplasia peribronquiolar es histológico, un resultado normal en la biopsia no descarta una posible enfermedad intersticial. Son necesarios más ensayos clínicos que definan el tratamiento más apropiado en estos pacientes


Introduction: Interstitial lung diseases are a group of rare diseases related to important morbidity and mortality. Peribronchiolar metaplasia, also known as lambertosis, could be found in some of these illnesses. Clinical case: We present a child with respiratory symptoms and need of oxygen since he was an infant. An interstitial alveolar infiltrate was seen in the computarized tomography. According to the clinic and imaging, the first diagnostic approach was an interstitial lung disease. The first lung biopsy was normal. He initially received treatment with cortico-steroids and bronchodilators during years, with no clear improving. A second lung biopsy was performed in which we found changes compatible with lambertosis. Finally, he started treatment with hidroxychloroquine and currently he has a normal life and rarely needs oxygen at home. Discussion: In our patient, despite the normal result of lung biopsy, the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease was not discarded because of the suggestive symptoms, signs and imaging tests. Lambertosis in adults is related to tobacco and infectious agents, but in children genetics seem to be important. The initial treatment were corticosteroids and then hidroxychloroquine. Conclusions: Although the diagnosis is histopathological, a normal lung biopsy does not discard an interstitial lung dis-ease. There is need of more clinical trials to establish the appropriate treatment for these patients

RESUMO

Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia de las atelectasias en la fibrosis quística (FQ) en la Comunidad de Madrid, con el fin de encontrar factores de riesgo predisponentes. Material y métodos. Se ha llevado a cabo un estudio retrospectivo en las unidades de FQ de la Comunidad de Madrid, de aquellos que habían padecido atelectasias. Se estudiaron: infecciones, complicaciones pulmonares y comorbilidades, tratamiento previo y posterior, el empleo de la fibrobroncoscopia y su respuesta, el diagnóstico mediante tomografía computarizada (TC) y la resolución o no de la atelectasia. Resultados: 16 (2,66%) pacientes habían padecido atelectasias, siete hombres (43,8%), con una edad media a la primera atelectasia de 23,81 ± 11,2 años. 14 (87,5%) presentaron infección bronquial crónica (IBC), especialmente por S. aureus meticilin-sensible y P. aeruginosa. Tres (18,8%) habían padecido aspergilosis broncopulmonar alérgica (ABPA) y uno hemoptisis (6,3%) con embolización. No hubo diferencias significativas en los tratamientos usados antes y después. En 10 (62,5%) se realizó fibrobroncoscopia, mejorando ocho pacientes. La TC demostró mejoría radiológica en un 62,5%, completa en siete pacientes. Hubo diferencias significativas entre FEV1/FVC, FEV1 y FVC en la evolución de los pacientes; entre el número total de exacerbaciones del año previo y del posterior (p= 0,012) y entre las exacerbaciones graves del año previo y las últimas registradas (p= 0,013). Cinco (31,25%) tuvieron una evolución tórpida tras el evento. Conclusiones: Una función pulmonar con obstrucción moderada-grave, y haber padecido otras complicaciones respiratorias (ABPA y IBC) podrían predisponer a padecer atelectasias en FQ. Además, esta complicación empeora las exacerbaciones y la función pulmonar


Aim: To determine the prevalence of atelectasis in cystic fibrosis (CF) in Madrid Community, in order to find predisposing risk factors. Material and methods. A retrospective study in the CF Units of Madrid Community was carried out, of the patients who suffered atelectasis We studied: infections, pulmonary complications and comorbilities, prior and subsequent treatment, the use of broncoschopy and its results; the diagnosis using computed tomography (CT), and the resolution or not the atelectasis. Results: 16 (2,66%) patients has suffered atelectasis (2,66%), 7 males (43,8%) with a mean aged with the first atelectasis was 23,81 ± 11,2 year-old 14 (87,5%) presented chronic bronchial infection (CBI), specially by meticillinsensitive S and P. aeruginosa. Three (18,8%) had suffered allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and one (6,3%) haemoptysis with embolization. There were no significant differences with prior and subsequent treatment. A bronchoscopy was performed in 10 patients (62,5%): improving in eight cases. A radiological improve was observed using a CT in 10 (62,5%) patients, complete in seven patients. We have found significant differences in FEV1/FVC, FEV1 and FVC, in the evolution of the patients; between the total number of exacerbations of the previous year and the following one. Five (31.25%) had a torpid evolution after the event. Conclusions: Pulmonary function with moderate to severe obstruction and other respiratory complications (ABPA and CBI) may predispose to atelectasis in CF. In addition, this complication worsens exacerbations and pulmonary function

Se describen la Misión, Visión y Valores; los objetivos asistenciales, sociales y de docencia e investigación y las líneas estratégicas de Gestión Clínica de la Sección de Neumología Pediátrica (Pacientes/Profesionales/Procesos/Alianzas Estratégicas/Calidad Asistencial). A continuación, se describe la Cartera de Servicios, la Estructura y los Recursos (humanos y materiales) con los que cuenta nuestra Sección, para desarrollar una actividad orientada a la humanización de todo el proceso asistencial del paciente pediátrico con patología respiratoria, siguiendo la línea estratégica del Servicio Madrileño de Salud. Por último, hacemos referencia a los Programas Específicos de Gestión — Áreas de Mejora, a medio y largo plazo, que permitan consolidarnos como una Sección de Neumología Pediátrica referente en nuestro ámbito (AU)


With this document we aim to show what we believe health care for the pediatric population who suffer respiratory pathology should be like; it should be led by highly specialized personnel Who can attend to the patients, and should be able to handle the demand for educational health-oriented work placements (pre and post—graduate) as well as the demand for investigation and innovation which are part and parcel of a highly complex and third level centre. All of this should be enveloped in high level of quality and external controls as is the case of the lung function laboratory accredited by Norma ISO 9001 and the Outpatient Clinics which will also be included by the same certificate. We outline our mission, our vision our values; the objectives for patient attendance, and as social, teaching and investigative objectives and the strategies for Clinical management within the Pediatric Pneumology Unit (Patients/Professionals/Processes/ Strategic Allíances/Healthcare Quality management). We continue by describing the full list of services we offer, in order to develop an activity which is oriented to the humanization of the attendance process for the pediatric patient with respiratory problem, in line with the Madrid Health Service Strategies. Finally, we make reference to specific Management Programmes - areas in which we can improve, in the medium to long-term, which will allow us to consolidate our position as the Pediatric Pneumology Unit of reference in our field (AU)

RESUMO

La displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) es la secuela más prevalente del recién nacido pretérmino, y sigue suponiendo un motivo frecuente de consulta en las unidades de Neumología Pediátrica. La decisión del alta de la unidad neonatal debe apoyarse en una valoración exhaustiva de la situación clínica del paciente y en el cumplimiento de unos requisitos, que incluyen la estabilidad respiratoria y nutricional, y la instrucción a los cuidadores en el manejo domiciliario. Para un control adecuado de la enfermedad, es necesario que quede establecido, previamente al alta, un calendario de visitas y de exploraciones complementarias, y deben aplicarse las pautas de prevención de exacerbaciones y el tratamiento apropiados. El concepto de DBP como enfermedad multisistémica es fundamental en el seguimiento de los pacientes y debe ser tenido en cuenta para un buen control de la enfermedad. En este documento, el Grupo de Trabajo de Patología Respiratoria Perinatal de la Sociedad Española de Neumología Pediátrica propone un protocolo que sirva como referencia para unificar el seguimiento de los pacientes con DBP entre los diferentes centros y ámbitos asistenciales. Se revisan los aspectos a tener en cuenta en la evaluación previa al alta de la Unidad Neonatal y las principales complicaciones durante el seguimiento. Seguidamente, se detallan las recomendaciones en materia de tratamiento de la enfermedad y prevención de complicaciones, los controles tras el alta y su cronología


Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common complication of preterm birth, and remains a major problem in pediatric pulmonology units. The decision of discharging from the Neonatal Unit should be based on a thorough assessment of the condition of the patient and compliance with certain requirements, including respiratory and nutritional stability, and caregiver education on disease management. For proper control of the disease, a schedule of visits and complementary tests should be established prior to discharge, and guidelines for prevention of exacerbations and appropriate treatment should be applied. In this paper, the Working Group in Perinatal Respiratory Diseases of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Pulmonology proposes a protocol to serve as a reference for the follow up of patients with BPD among different centers and health care settings. Key factors to consider when planning discharge from the Neonatal Unit and during follow up are reviewed. Recommendations on treatment and prevention of complications are then discussed. The final section of this guide aims to provide a specific schedule for follow-up and diagnostic interventions to be performed in patients with BPD

RESUMO

La pletismografía corporal completa permite la medición de volúmenes, capacidades y resistencias pulmonares. Es una técnica bien estandarizada y ampliamente utilizada en neumología pediátrica, aunque requiere equipo específico, personal especializado y cierta colaboración por parte del paciente. La pletismografía utiliza la ley de Boyle para determinar el volumen de gas intratorácico o capacidad residual funcional, y una vez determinada esta, se extrapolan el volumen residual y la capacidad pulmonar total. La medición de la capacidad pulmonar total es necesaria para el diagnóstico de patología restrictiva. La resistencia de la vía aérea es una medida de obstrucción, pudiéndose determinar la resistencia total, que incluye la resistencia de la pared torácica, tejido pulmonar y vía aérea, y la resistencia específica, que es un parámetro más estable que corresponde al producto de la resistencia de la vía aérea por la capacidad residual funcional. La complejidad de esta técnica, las ecuaciones de referencia, las diferencias en el equipamiento, la variabilidad de la misma y las condiciones en las que se realiza han hecho necesaria su estandarización. Se analizan a lo largo del artículo los aspectos prácticos de esta técnica, especificando las recomendaciones para su realización, sistemática de calibración y los cálculos que se deben llevar a cabo, así como la interpretación de los resultados obtenidos. El objetivo de esta publicación es favorecer una mejor comprensión de los principios de la pletismografía completa con el fin de optimizar la interpretación de los resultados favoreciendo un mejor manejo del paciente y un consenso en la especialidad (AU)


Whole body plethysmography is used to measure lung volumes, capacities and resistances. It is a well standardised technique, and although it is widely used in paediatric chest diseases units, it requires specific equipment, specialist staff, and some cooperation by the patient. Plethysmography uses Boyle's law in order to measure the intrathoracic gas volume or functional residual capacity, and once this is determined, the residual volume and total lung capacity is extrapolated. The measurement of total lung capacity is necessary for the diagnosis of restrictive diseases. Airway resistance is a measurement of obstruction, with the total resistance being able to be measured, which includes chest wall, lung tissue and airway resistance, as well as the specific airway resistance, which is a more stable parameter that is determined by multiplying the measured values of airway resistance and functional residual capacity. The complexity of this technique, the reference equations, the differences in the equipment and their variability, and the conditions in which it is performed, has led to the need for its standardisation. Throughout this article, the practical aspects of plethysmography are analysed, specifying recommendations for performing it, its systematic calibration and the calculations that must be made, as well as the interpretation of the results obtained. The aim of this article is to provide a better understanding of the principles of whole body plethysmography with the aim of optimising the interpretation of the results, leading to improved management of the patient, as well as a consensus among the speciality (AU)

RESUMO

La capacidad de difusión es la técnica que mide la capacidad del aparato respiratorio para realizar el intercambio gaseoso y así diagnosticar la disfunción de la unidad alvéolo-capilar. El parámetro más importante a evaluar es la capacidad de difusión del CO (DLCO). Actualmente hay nuevos métodos para medir la capacidad de difusión utilizando óxido nítrico (NO). Existen diferentes métodos de medida, aunque en este artículo nos referiremos sobre todo a la técnica de la respiración única, la más utilizada y mejor estandarizada. Su complejidad, sus ecuaciones de referencia, las diferencias en equipamiento, la variabilidad interpacientes y las condiciones en las que se realiza hacen que exista una gran variabilidad interlaboratorio, habiéndose realizado estandarizaciones para hacer este método más fiable y reproducible. Se analizan los aspectos prácticos de la técnica, especificando las recomendaciones para la realización de un procedimiento adecuado, sistemática de calibración y cálculos y ajustes necesarios. También se exponen sus aplicaciones clínicas. Se produce un aumento de la transferencia de CO en las enfermedades en las que existe un aumento del volumen sanguíneo en los capilares pulmonares, en la policitemia y en la hemorragia pulmonar. Existe una disminución de la DLCO en los pacientes con reducción del volumen alveolar o en los defectos de difusión, ya sea por alteración de la membrana alvéolo-capilar (enfermedad intersticial) o por disminución del volumen de sangre en los capilares pulmonares (embolia pulmonar o hipertensión pulmonar primaria). También se exponen otras causas de disminución o aumento de la DLCO


The diffusion capacity is the technique that measures the ability of the respiratory system for gas exchange, thus allowing a diagnosis of the malfunction of the alveolar-capillary unit. The most important parameter to assess is the CO diffusion capacity (DLCO). New methods are currently being used to measure the diffusion using nitric oxide (NO). There are other methods for measuring diffusion, although in this article the single breath technique is mainly referred to, as it is the most widely used and best standardized. Its complexity, its reference equations, differences in equipment, inter-patient variability and conditions in which the DLCO is performed, lead to a wide inter-laboratory variability, although its standardization makes this a more reliable and reproductive method. The practical aspects of the technique are analyzed, by specifying the recommendations to carry out a suitable procedure, the calibration routine, calculations and adjustments. Clinical applications are also discussed. An increase in the transfer of CO occurs in diseases in which there is an increased volume of blood in the pulmonary capillaries, such as in the polycythemia and pulmonary hemorrhage. There is a decrease in DLCO in patients with alveolar volume reduction or diffusion defects, either by altered alveolar-capillary membrane (interstitial diseases) or decreased volume of blood in the pulmonary capillaries (pulmonary embolism or primary pulmonary hypertension). Other causes of decreased or increased DLCO are also highlighted

RESUMO

Revisadas en un artículo anterior la fisiopatología respiratoria del enfermo neuromuscular (ENM), así como su evaluación clínica y las principales complicaciones causantes de su deterioro pulmonar, en el presente artículo se describen los tratamientos respiratorios necesarios para preservar la función pulmonar del ENM durante el mayor tiempo posible, así como en situaciones especiales (infecciones respiratorias, cirugía de escoliosis, etc.). Se hace especial hincapié en la utilidad de la ventilación no invasiva cuyo uso está cambiando la historia natural de muchas de estas enfermedades. La prolongación de la vida en estos niños permite que lleguen a las unidades de neumología de adultos para proseguir su atención. La transición desde la pediatría debe ser un proceso activo, progresivo en el tiempo y poco estresante para el paciente ante la adaptación a ese nuevo entorno, manteniendo siempre una atención multidisciplinar


In a previous article, a review was presented of the respiratory pathophysiology of the patient with neuromuscular disease, as well as their clinical evaluation and the major complications causing pulmonary deterioration. This article presents the respiratory treatments required to preserve lung function in neuromuscular disease as long as possible, as well as in special situations (respiratory infections, spinal curvature surgery, etc.). Special emphasis is made on the use of non-invasive ventilation, which is changing the natural history of many of these diseases. The increase in survival and life expectancy of these children means that they can continue their clinical care in adult units. The transition from pediatric care must be an active, timely and progressive process. It may be slightly stressful for the patient before the adaptation to this new environment, with multidisciplinary care always being maintained

RESUMO

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 14 años, diagnosticado de histiocitosis de células de Langerhans a los 16 meses de edad, en el que, sin presentar patología respiratoria evidente, se aprecia un patrón multiquístico bilateral en la tomografía computarizada de tórax, y un patrón intersticial bilateral en la radiografía convencional. Atendiendo a las características radiológicas del paciente, proponemos el diagnóstico diferencial de entidades infrecuentes que cursan con expresión multiquística pulmonar en la edad pediátrica (AU)


We report that a 14-year-old teen who was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis at 16 months of age and with no previous respiratory symptoms, shows a bilateral multicystic pattern in thoracic computed tomography and bilateral interstitial infiltrates in chest radiography. Taking into account the radiologic features we propose the differential diagnosis of disorders with multiple cystic pulmonary findings in children (AU)

RESUMO

Presentamos el caso clínico de un lactante varón de 12 meses de edad, con antecedentes de episodios recurrentes de fiebre, tos y dificultad respiratoria; en la radiografía de tórax presentaba una imagen persistente de consolidación alveolar en el lóbulo superior derecho. Se valoraron las diferentes posibilidades diagnósticas, así como el plan de actuación. Finalmente, en este paciente se detectó la presencia de un bronquio traqueal, considerado una variante anatómica, generalmente asintomática, aunque puede manifestarse como infecciones recurrentes, como en este caso, y también puede asociarse a otras malformaciones congénitas. El manejo terapéutico es conservador, mediante fisioterapia respiratoria y tratamiento de la inflamación e infección, aunque en ocasiones es necesaria la cirugía. Muchas anomalías congénitas bronquiales son infrecuentes y asintomáticas, por lo que pueden pasar desapercibidas. Sin embargo, ante la cronicidad o recurrencia de los procesos respiratorios, hay que descartar su existencia. La detección precoz de estas malformaciones con técnicas adecuadas puede evitar una evolución a la cronicidad y condicionar la actitud terapéutica. Generalmente no precisan tratamiento pero algunos casos requieren un manejo específico más agresivo (AU)


We report the case of a 12 month old boy who suffered recurrent episodes of fever, cough and respiratory distress and evidence of a persistent image of alveolar consolidation in the right upper lobe on chest radiography. We discuss the differential diagnosis list and the management of the case. Finally, we detect in our patient the presence of a tracheal bronchus. Thracheal bronchus is considered an anatomical variant, usually asymptomatic, but can show up with recurrent infections as occurred in our patient. It may also be associated with other congenital malformations. The conservative treatment is the best choice and consists in chest physiotherapy and the treatment of inflammation and infection. The need for surgery is uncommon. Most of the congenital bronchial abnormalities may go unnoticed because they are normally asymptomatic. However, in chronic or recurrent respiratory processes they must be ruled out. The early detection of these malformations can prevent the appearance of chronic lung diseases and can allow for the best therapeutic approach. Although most of the cases do not require treatment, some of them require specific and more aggressive handling (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: La ventilación mecánica domiciliaria (VMD) es una técnica cada vez más frecuente en el niño. Existen pocos estudios que hayan analizado las características y necesidades de los niños sometidos a esta técnica. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo observacional transversal multicéntrico de pacientes entre un mes y 16 años dependientes de ventilación mecánica domiciliaria. Resultados: Se estudiaron 163 pacientes de 17 hospitales españoles con una edad media de 7,6 años. La causa más frecuente de VMD fueron los trastornos neuromusculares. El inicio de la VMD fue a una edad media de 4,6 años. Un 71,3% recibieron ventilación no invasiva. Los pacientes con ventilación invasiva tenían menor edad, menor edad de inicio de la VMD y mayor tiempo de uso diario. El 80,9% precisaban VM solo durante el sueño, y un 11,7% durante todo el día. Únicamente un 3,4% de los pacientes tiene asistencia sanitaria externa como ayuda a la familia. Un 48,2% es controlado en consultas específicas de VMD o consultas multidisciplinares. Un 72,1% de los pacientes está escolarizado (recibiendo enseñanza adaptada un 42,3%). Solo un 47,8% de los pacientes escolarizados cuentan con cuidadores específicos en su centro escolar. Conclusiones: La VMD en niños se utiliza en un grupo muy heterogéneo de pacientes iniciándose en un importante porcentaje en los primeros 3 años de vida. A pesar de que un significativo porcentaje de pacientes tiene una gran dependencia de la VMD pocas familias cuentan con ayudas específicas tanto a nivel escolar como en el domicilio, y el seguimiento sanitario es heterogéneo y poco coordinado(AU)


Introduction: Domiciliary mechanical ventilation (DMV) use is increasing in children. Few studies have analysed the characteristics of patients using this technique. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive, transversal, multicentre study was conducted on patients between 1 month and 16 years of age dependent on domiciliary mechanical ventilation. Results: A total of 163 patients with a median age of 7.6 years from 17 Spanish hospitals were studied. The main reasons for DMV were neuromuscular disorders. The median age at beginning of DMV was 4.6 years. Almost three-quarters (71.3%) received non-invasive ventilation. Patients depending on invasive ventilation were younger, started DMV at an earlier age, and had more hours of mechanical ventilation per day. The large majority (80.9%) used DMV during sleep time only, and 11.7% during the whole day. Only 3.4% of patients had external health assistance. Just under half (48.2%) were being followed up in specific DMV or multidisciplinary clinics. Almost three-quarters (72.1%) of patients attended school (42.3% with adapted schooling). Only 47.8% of school patients had specific caregivers in their schools. Conclusions: DMV in children is used in a very heterogeneous group of patients, and in an important number of patients it is started before the third year of life. Despite there being a significant proportion of patients with a high dependency on DMV, few families receive specific support at home or at school, and health care surveillance is variable and poorly coordinated(AU)
