Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify the accuracy of the single-breath counting test to determine slow vital capacity in hospitalized patients and to evaluate the repeatability of the same examiner. Methods: a diagnostic study and the choice of techniques were randomly assigned. The area under the curve (receiver operating characteristic) was calculated from the slow vital capacity (20ml/kg) to evaluate the best psychometric characteristics of single-breath counting Test for this cutoff point. Repeatability observed by the same examiner was assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. Results: 516 patients hospitalized for various diseases were analyzed. In the curve analysis (receiver operating characteristic/slow vital capacity=20ml/Kg), the value of 21 in single-breath counting test with a sensitivity of 94.44% and specificity of 76.62% (area under the curve =0.93, p0.005. Conclusion: the single-breath counting test was a valid and repetitive technique, and may be an important screening option for assessment of lung function in the absence of specific equipment. This technique opens perspectives to replace slow vital capacity measurement in hospitals, which lack spirometric equipment, or in patients who may have a contagious disease, which has a risk of contamination and spread of disease from one patient to another. RESUMO Objetivo: identificar a acurácia do teste de contagem em uma única respiração para determinar a capacidade vital lenta em pacientes hospitalizados e avaliar sua repetibilidade entre o mesmo examinador. Métodos: estudo de diagnóstico em que a escolha das técnicas foi aleatoriamente atribuída. A área sob a curva (característica de operação do receptor) foi calculada a partir da capacidade vital lenta (20ml/kg) para avaliar as melhores características psicométricas do teste de contagem em uma única respiração para este ponto de corte. A repetibilidade observada pelo mesmo examinador foi avaliada usando o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse. Resultados: foram analisados (característica de operação do receptor/capacidade vital lenta=20ml/Kg), foi encontrado o valor de 21 em teste de contagem em uma única respiração com uma sensibilidade de 94,44% e especificidade de 76,62% (área abaixo da curva=0,93, p0,005.
