Assessment of Cardiorespiratory Dysfunctions of Health Professionals above the Age of 40 years by means of Electrocardiography and Spirometry

Background: The increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, particularly bronchitis andemphysema (COPD), is reflected as a growing concern regarding its diagnosis and control. Moreover medicalpersonnel working in different medical set up are at greater risk stress disease related susceptibility.Materials Methods: Descriptive observational study based on ‘convenience sampling done Healthprofessional viz. Doctors, Nurses Technicians attached with Medical College, Kolkata Ruby GeneralHospital, between Feb 2015 to May 2016. Overall 50 doctors, 25 nurses technicians were taken fromMedical Kolkata. Pulmonary function tests by Spirotech ©, software after rest for 10-15 minand briefing about the technique FVC (maximum inhalation followed maximum exhalation) MVV(voluntary hyperventilation 15 seconds) carried out. Spirometric parameters recorded analysiswere FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEFR, FEF25%-75% MVV. controls selected from relatives Out PatientDepartment (OPD) College who non-health professionals. They same procedure asthe cases.Results: It shows among cases 8 people hypertensive 42 normotensive,whereas control group 5 44 normotensive 1 person had hypotension,which not statistically significant (P Value 0.419). college Mean FEV1 / ratiois 114.50 (SD 12.63) whereas that 103.90 15.94), which 0.000).Conclusion: personnel more obese corporate hospital. have similarblood pressure level general population. RBBB pattern most predominant QRS abnormality isnot uncommon. lower mean FEV1%, FEV1/ PEFR % than population.Predominant spirometry our restrictive pattern.
