Lung function in preschool children

Lung function in preschool children.

In children with prolonged or recurrent processes suspicious for bronchopulmonary disease, respiratory function, including not only basal state but also bronchial reactivity, must be investigated through bronchoconstrictors (histamine, methacholine) or bronchodilators (salbutamol). These tests are essential to differentiate asthma from other processes provoking similar symptoms. In the case of ...

Lung Function Tests in Preschool Children.

The measurement of lung function by spirometry is routinely used to monitor and adequately treat children with asthma. The assessment and evaluation of lung function in children aged 3-5 years has been neglected for a long time because of the difficulty to perform forced expiratory maneuvers.

Wheeze phenotypes and lung function in preschool children.

Distinct phenotypes can be identified in childhood wheezing illness. Within the context of a birth cohort study, we investigated the association between preschool lung function and phenotypes of wheeze. From parentally reported history of wheeze (interviewer-administered questionnaire, age 3 and 5 years), children were classified as never wheezers, transient early wheezers, late-onset wheezers,...
