Cough characteristics and FVC maneuver in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Cough is part of life in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Weak coughing may add to increased respiratory disease that affects the mechanical properties of cough in these patients. In this study, we investigated cough characteristics in relation to forced expiratory flow/volume indices in CF. METHODS This prospective study included 54 subjects (26 ± 10 y old) with CF. Similar ind...
متن کاملCough in adult cystic fibrosis: diagnosis and response to fundoplication
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux is one of the most common causes of chronic cough in the general population. Reflux occurs frequently in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We undertook laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in adult CF patients with a clinical diagnosis of reflux cough who had failed conventional medical therapies. OBJECTIVE We determined the response to the surgical route in...
متن کاملCYSTIC FIBROSIS Objective measurement of cough during pulmonary exacerbations in adults with cystic fibrosis
Background: Little is known about cough frequency in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aimed to determine (1) daytime and overnight cough rates in patients with CF at the beginning and end of a course of antibiotics for treatment of an exacerbation; (2) the relationship between cough frequencies and standard clinical measures of disease; and (3) the relationship between objective cou...
متن کاملUse of cough swabs in a cystic fibrosis clinic.
We audited prospectively 322 cough swabs taken from cystic fibrosis children and compared cough swabs with concomitant sputum samples in 30 expectorating patients. A positive cough swab is a strong predictor of sputum culture. However, a negative cough swab does not rule out infection. Persistent symptoms should be further investigated.
متن کاملCough sensitivity in children with asthma, recurrent cough, and cystic fibrosis.
In adults, cough sensitivity is influenced by gender and is heightened in those with non-productive cough. This study examined if cough sensitivity is (i) altered in children with asthma, recurrent cough, and cystic fibrosis and (ii) influenced by age, gender, or forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Cough sensitivity to capsaicin and spirometry were performed on 209 children grouped b...
