Abstract

PURPOSE: To analyze the behavior of cardiopulmonary function in postoperative of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. METHODS: Thirty-two patients, 13 males (41%) and 19 females (59%), were evaluated. Their age ranged from 25 to 67 years, with a mean of 44.4 ± 10.9. Pulmonary volumes, respiratory pressures and exercise tests were performed in the preoperative period (PRE) and in the first (PO1), second (PO2), fifth (PO5) and thirtieth (PO30) postoperative periods. RESULTS: Thirty-two patients were evaluated, of whom 59% were females. Mean age was 44.4 ± 10.9 years. Lung volumes had significant decrease at PO1 and PO2 and were similar to PRE values at PO5. Respiratory pressures were altered only at PO1. The distance covered in the 6-minute walk test had significant reduction until PO2, and climbing time in the stair-climbing test significantly increased at PO2. CONCLUSION: Patients submitted to LNF surgery have decreased cardiorespiratory function in the early postoperative period; however, they soon return to preoperative conditions.OBJETIVO: Analisar o comportamento da função cardiopulmonar no pós-operatório de fundoplicatura Nissen laparoscópica. MÉTODOS: Trinta e dois pacientes, 13 homens (41%) e 19 mulheres (59%) foram avaliados. A idade variou de 25 to 67 anos, com media de 44.4 ± 10.9. Os volumes pulmonares, as pressões respiratórias e testes de exercício foram realizados no período pré-operatório (PRE) e no primeiro (PO1), segundo (PO2), quinto (PO5) e trigésimo (PO30) períodos pós-operatórios. RESULTADOS: Trinta e dois pacientes foram avaliados, dos quais 59% eram do sexo feminino. A média de idade foi de 44,4 ± 10,9 anos. Os volumes pulmonares apresentaram diminuição significativa no PO1 e PO2 e foram semelhantes aos valores PRE no PO5. As pressões respiratórias estiveram alteradas apenas no PO1. A distância percorrida no teste da caminhada de 6 minutos apresentou redução significativa até o PO2, e o tempo de subida no teste de escada aumentou significativamente no PO2. CONCLUSÃO: Pacientes submetidos à FLN apresentaram diminuição da função cardiorrespiratória no início do período pós-operatório, no entanto, elas rapidamente regressaram às condições pré-operatórias.
