contents Volume Response to a Bronchodilator in Patients with COPD Jimena Falco Vanina Martin Leandro Marozzi Marco A. Solís Aramayo Marcos Hernández Edgardo Sobrino Silvia Quadrelli Medicina COPD spirometry vital capacity forced expiratory volume The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent airflow limitation. It is a frequent, known and treatable disease. The diagnosis requires tobacco smoking personal history or expositional history and evidence of an obstructive pattern at the spirometry measured before and after bronchodilators. The degree of reversibility of airflow differs between patients, and does not predict the response to bronchodilator therapy. It can be seen in terms of forced vital capacity or forced expiratory flow, depending on the severity of the disease. This paper presents the differences in bronchodilator response in terms of measurements of the flow and the volume in patients diagnosed with COPD at different stages of GOLD. The bronchodilator response and its relationship to the severity of the disease were analized. 2016 artículo científico 1852-1630 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=382145839007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3821 Revista Americana de Medicina Respiratoria application/pdf Asociación Argentina de Medicina Respiratoria Revista Americana de Medicina Respiratoria (Argentina) Num.2 Vol.16
