Resumo
A pressão intrapleural normalmente é menor que a pressão intrapulmonar. Consequentemente , os pulmões tendem ao colapso e se retraem, afastando-se da parede torácica. No início do século XX, Pasteur descreveu a atelectasia pulmonar, que ocorre com frequência durante a indução anestésica, persiste no período pós-operatório e pode contribuir de maneira significativa para a morbidade e o aumento nos gastos com medicamentos. em medicina veterinária, no entanto, a atelectasia não é frequentemente diagnosticada, apesar de que isso não implica afirmar que tal afecção não ocorra, visto que existem relatos do desenvolvimento desse quadro em cães e em outras espécies. No contexto da anestesia geral, essa complicação pulmonar pode ser encontrada em animais que respiram 80 a 100% de oxigênio. A partir dessas informações, torna-se necessário que o profissional da anestesiologia veterinária obtenha conhecimentos complementares sobre o tema. Com este trabalho, objetivou-se descrever alguns dos mecanismos da atelectasia e seus pontos relevantes, de modo a familiarizar os profissionais quanto aos pormenores dessa importante, e nem sempre bem compreendida, alteração fisiológica respiratória.
Pleural pressure is usually lower than pulmonary pressure. Therefore, the lungs tend to collapse and increase its distance from thoracic walls. At the beginning of 20th century, Pasteur described the pulmonary atelectasis, which develops during induction of anesthesia and persists to the postoperative period. It can contribute significantly to morbidity and to increase the medical expenses. In veterinary medicine, pulmonary atelectasis is not frequently diagnosed, which doesn't rule out the occurrence of this disease, since there are reports of atelectsasis in dogs. This pulmonary complication can be found in animals that breathe 80% to 100% oxygen in anesthetic procedures. Based on this information, the veterinary anesthesiologist is required to search for complementary knowledge regarding to pulmonary atelectasis. This study, therefore, aimed to describe some of the mechanisms involved in the development of atelectasis. It aimed also to familiarize the anesthesiologist to this not always well- understood physiological breathing change.
