Assessment of Airway Bronchodilation by Spirometry Compared to Airway Obstruction in Young Children with Asthma
A reversibility test by an increase of greater than 12% in FEV1 can support a diagnosis of asthma and alter a patient's treatment plan but may not be applicable to the young ages. We retrospectively gathered spirometric data from 85/271 asthmatic children having mild obstruction (FEV1 > 80% predicted), age 2.6-6.9 years. Spirometry was performed before and 20 min after inhalation of 200 mcg Alb...
متن کاملEfficacy of Inhaled Levalbuterol Compared to Albuterol in Horses with Recurrent Airway Obstruction
BACKGROUND The (R)-enantiomer of racemic albuterol (levalbuterol) has bronchodilatory properties whereas the (S)-enantiomer causes adverse effects in human airways, animal models, and isolated equine bronchi. Levalbuterol is commercially available and improves pulmonary function of asthmatic patients with a longer duration of effect than albuterol. OBJECTIVE To determine the dose at which inh...
متن کاملRelapsing polychondritis: reversible airway obstruction or asthma.
We describe a patient who presented with poorly controlled asthma. Bronchoscopy showed collapsing airways, characteristic of RP (relapsing polychondritis).
متن کاملAspirin-sensitive asthma and upper airway diseases
BACKGROUND Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) consists of nasal polyposis, rhinosinusitis, asthma, and aspirin (ASA) sensitivity. OBJECTIVE This article details how to diagnose and treat AERD and describes the procedures associated with ASA challenge and desensitization, benefits associated with ASA desensitization, and appropriate doses for treatment. METHODS Criteria for diag...
متن کاملEvaluation of Coughing and Nasal Discharge as Early Indicators for An Increased Risk to Develop Equine Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO)
BACKGROUND It is often assumed that horses with mild respiratory clinical signs, such as mucous nasal discharge and occasional coughing, have an increased risk of developing recurrent airway obstruction (RAO). HYPOTHESIS Compared to horses without any clinical signs of respiratory disease, those with occasional coughing, mucous nasal discharge, or both have an increased risk of developing sig...
