OSA PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Asses relationship between a poor clinical outcome in patients and therapeutic pressure variation determined by Auto CPAPMETHODS: Patients with poor clinical outcome after establishing fixed pressure CPAP with formula (F cpap), were placed in 3 groups according to the reasons for poor control: low tolerance, no clinical improvement and bad therapeutic adherence. All patients were titulated with auto cpap (a cpap). We evaluated clinical and polygraphic characteristics and looked for relationship between these reasons and the parameters analyzed. Variable was the pressure difference f cpap-a cpap. We compared this difference with clinical improvement, therapeutic adherence and tolerance using the U test of Mann Whitney. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Deisy Barrios Barreto, Eva Mañas Baena, Carolina Gotera, Carolina Jurkojc Mohremberger, Javier Garcia Leaniz, Patricia Lazo Meneses, Patricia Castro Acosta, Rosa Mirambeaux Villalona, Maria SalazarNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Thoracic Surgery PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Surgery is the best treatment choice for most of pulmonary lesions. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) play an important role in this process by assessing the risks and the functional effects of the procedure. Our goal was to evaluate the impact of lung resection surgery on pulmonary function. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Marta Sousa, Vitor Melo, Eloisa Silva, Jorge Vale, João Silva, Bárbara Rodrigues, António TorresNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
