Bronchodilator tolerance and rebound bronchoconstriction during regular inhaled beta-agonist treatment.
There is uncertainty about the development of airway tolerance to beta-agonists and the phenomenon of rebound bronchoconstriction on beta-agonist withdrawal. We have recently completed a study of the regular terbutaline and budesonide treatment in asthma. We report our observations on the effect of starting and stopping terbutaline treatment on morning and evening peak flows. The study was a ra...
متن کاملBronchodilator tolerance: the impact of increasing bronchoconstriction.
Chronic exposure to beta-agonists causes tolerance to their bronchodilator effects, which is best demonstrated during acute bronchoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to assess whether tolerance becomes more evident with increasing bronchoconstriction, as might occur in acute asthma. In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study comprising 15 patients, the treatm...
متن کاملReversing acute bronchoconstriction in asthma: the effect of bronchodilator tolerance after treatment with formoterol.
Continuous treatment with a short-acting beta2-agonist can lead to reduced bronchodilator responsiveness during acute bronchoconstriction. This study evaluated bronchodilator tolerance to salbutamol following regular treatment with a long-acting beta2-agonist, formoterol. The modifying effect of intravenous corticosteroid was also studied. Ten asthmatic subjects (using inhaled steroids) partici...
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 کاملTolerance to beta-agonists during acute bronchoconstriction.
Previous reports suggest that regular use of beta-agonists does not lead to tolerance to their bronchodilator effects. However, most studies have been conducted in stable asthma. This study investigates whether bronchodilator tolerance can be demonstrated during acute bronchoconstriction. Thirty-four asthmatic subjects were treated with 6 weeks inhaled terbutaline (1 mg q.i.d.), budesonide (400...
