Resumo

Introdução: O Coronavírus é uma infecção viral sistêmica que causa lesão nas vias aéreas e têm amplo poder de transmissão. Devido à sua severa destruição do parênquima pulmonar faz-se necessário realizar acompanhamento ambulatorial e testes de função pulmonar através da espirometria, capacidade de difusão e volumes pulmonares para avaliar as possíveis alterações. Objetivo: Sintetizar as evidências científicas com relação aos efeitos deletérios na função pulmonar dos pacientes pós-covid 19. Métodos: Este estudo é uma revisão de literatura integrativa. Realizou-se a busca de artigos nas bases de dados no período de 2020 a 2022, incluídos nos idiomas portugues e inglês, e com pacientes maiores de 18 anos. Foram excluídos artigos duplicados, relatos de casos, revisão de literatura, estudos de reabilitação/tratamento e que não responderam à pergunta norteadora. Resultados: Foram encontrados por meio da estratégia de busca 548 artigos, sendo incluídos 23 estudos, com total de 4.421 participantes, e 2.834 realizaram os testes de função pulmonar. Houve predominância na avaliação pela espirometria, tendo como principais alterações a diminuição na capacidade de difusão do monóxido de carbono e padrão ventilatório restritivo. Conclusão: Os estudos incluídos apontam que pacientes sintomáticos apresentaram maiores alterações na função pulmonar em comparação com assintomáticos. Os principais déficits são as alterações ventilatórias restritivas e a redução da capacidade de difusão dos gases, sendo esta a que apresentou a maior sensibilidade para as disfunções pulmonares, no momento da alta hospitalar em até 12 meses.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus is a systemic viral infection that affects the airways and has a high transmission potential. Due to its severe damage to the lung parenchyma, it is necessary to perform outpatient follow-up and lung function tests, including spirometry, diffusion capacity, and lung volumes, to assess possible changes. Aim: To synthesize the scientific evidence regarding the deleterious effects on lung function post-COVID-19. Methods: This study is an integrative literature review. A search was conducted for articles in databases from 2020 to 2022, including studies in Portuguese and English, and involving patients over 18 years old. Duplicate articles, case reports, literature reviews, rehabilitation/treatment studies, and those that did not answer the guiding question were excluded. Results: Through the search strategy, 548 articles were found, of which 23 studies were included, with a total of 4,421 participants, 2,834 of whom underwent pulmonary function tests. There was a predominance of spirometry evaluations, with the main alterations being a decrease in carbon monoxide diffusion capacity and a restrictive ventilatory pattern. Conclusion: The present studies reveal that symptomatic patients exhibited greater changes in lung function compared to asymptomatic patients. The main deficits were reduced diffusion capacity and restrictive ventilatory changes from hospital discharge up to 12 months. Diffusion capacity showed greater sensitivity for detecting pulmonary alterations.
