Benzalkonium Chloride Induced Bronchoconstriction in Patients with Stable Bronchial Asthma
BACKGROUND Although benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-induced bronchoconstriction occurs in patients with bronchial asthma, BAC-containing nebulizer solutions are still being used in daily practice in Korea. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of inhaled aqueous solutions containing BAC. METHODS Thirty subjects with bronchial asthma and 10 normal controls inhaled up to three 600 micro...
متن کاملInduced Bronchoconstriction in Patients With Asthma*
Background: Leukotriene (LT) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptor antagonists have been used in the treatment of asthma. Objectives: We examined the effects of an LT receptor antagonist, TXA2 receptor antagonist, and TXA2 synthetase inhibitor on bronchoprovocation test (BPT) in patients with mild-to-moderate atopic asthma. Methods: BPT was performed four times in each of six asthmatics. Developme...
متن کاملHistamine induced changes in breathing pattern may precede bronchoconstriction in selected patients with bronchial asthma.
BACKGROUND In asthmatic patients methacholine or histamine challenge may result in more rapid and shallow breathing. Bronchoconstriction can also be associated with changes in the pattern of breathing. However, few studies, particularly in patients with asthma, have investigated the possibility that changes in the pattern of breathing may precede the onset of bronchoconstriction. METHODS Eigh...
متن کاملChanges in FVC during methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction in elderly patients with asthma: bronchial hyperresponsiveness and aging.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We evaluated whether aging may produce changes in bronchial hyperresponsiveness, risk of enhanced bronchoconstriction, and changes of bronchoconstriction perception. SETTING Each subject underwent a methacholine bronchial challenge. Methacholine challenge was stopped when one of the following conditions occurred: (1) plateau of bronchoconstriction; (2) decrease of FEV(1) > 40%...
متن کاملPlasma catecholamines during exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in bronchial asthma.
Plasma levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline during and after submaximal exercise in patients with bronchial asthma were investigated. Three groups were studied comprising 10 patients with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), 10 asthmatic patients without EIB and four normal control subjects. Plasma catecholamines were measured at rest, at the end of exercise, and five and 15 minutes af...
