Repeatability and bronchodilator reversibility of lung function in young children.
Knowledge of short- and longer-term repeatability of lung function in health and disease is essential to determine bronchodilator reversibility thresholds and to recognise if changes in lung function represent disease progression, therapeutic intervention or normal variability. Multiple-breath washout indices (lung clearance index, conductive ventilation inhomogeneity (Scond)) and specific airw...
متن کاملInhaled bronchodilator administration during mechanical ventilation.
Inhaled bronchodilators are routinely administered to mechanically ventilated patients to relieve dyspnea and reverse bronchoconstriction. A lower percentage of the nominal dose reaches the lower respiratory tract in a mechanically ventilated patient than in a nonintubated subject, but attention to device selection, administration technique, dosing, and patient-ventilator interface can increase...
متن کاملBronchodilator therapy and hyperactivity in preschool children.
The common report of parents of asthmatic children that inhaled/nebulised salbutamol causes overactive behaviour was investigated. Nineteen children were assessed in a standardised setting before and after the administration of nebulised salbutamol and placebo. Neither parental report nor observer ratings suggested any significant increase in the child's level of activity.
متن کاملBronchodilator reversibility to albuterol predicts bronchodilator response to salmeterol.
We read with interest the recent study by Fish et al (August 2001)1 showing that adding salmeterol to inhaled corticosteroid achieved superior control as compared to adding montelukast. However it is likely that the results were biased toward the long-acting 2-agonist as patients were required as an inclusion criteria to have at least 12% increase in FEV1 in response to albuterol. It is therefo...
متن کاملResponse to the Food and Drug Administration warning on the use of anaesthetics in young children.
On 14 December 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning that the repeated or lengthy use of general anaesthetic and sedative drugs in children under 3 years old and in pregnant women in their third trimester may affect the development of children’s brains. Warning labels were required to be added to general anaesthetic and sedative drugs.1 Data from published studies in ...
