This study was performed to evaluate the oxygen saturation of peripheral blood and the functional capacity of respiratory system after the physic effort in 35 children with chronic pulmonary disease. The control group included 28 healthy school children. The effort test revealed an insufficient compensatory mechanism of respiratory function in children with broncho-pulmonary malady. The oxygen saturation of peripheral blood decreased from 96.5±0.8% to 92.8±1.2%. In the healthy children these values remained constant.

Studiul actual a fost initiat pentru aprecierea saturatiei cu O2 si capacitatii functionale respiratorii dupa efort fizic la 35 copii cu patologie bronho-pulmonara cronica. Lotul de control a inclus 28 copii sanatosi de vârsta scolara. Testul cu efort fizic a demonstrat o stare de compensare insuficienta a functiei respiratorii la copii cu maladii pulmonare cronice, reducerea saturatiei sângelui periferic cu oxigen de la 96,5±0,8% pâna la 92,8±1,2%. La copiii sanatosi aceste valori au ramas constante.
