Spirometry and Bronchodilator Test
Spirometry is a physiological test for assessing the functional aspect of the lungs using an objective indicator to measure the maximum amount of air that a patient can inhale and exhale. Acceptable spirometry testing needs to be conducted three times by an acceptable and reproducible method for determining forced vital capacity (FVC). Until the results of three tests meet the criteria of repro...
متن کاملBronchodilator responsiveness using spirometry in healthy and asthmatic preschool children.
OBJECTIVE To assess repeatability and reproducibility of spirometry measurements, and bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR), in healthy 3-6-year-old preschool children and those with asthma. DESIGN Spirometry was performed before and 20 minutes after administering either inhaled placebo (for repeatability) or 400 μg salbutamol (for BDR) on two separate occasions (reproducibility) 3-23 days apar...
متن کاملSpirometry and bronchodilator responsiveness in wheezing preschool children
Methods We carried out a retrospective analysis of incentive spirometry tests in recurrent wheezing children, aged 2-5 years, from our center, performed between September 2012 and March 2014. Lung function was assessed before and after 400 mg of inhaled salbutamol using a Jaeger spirometer v.4.65 (CareFusion). Wheezing symptoms, parental asthma, prematurity, passive smoking exposure, atopy and ...
متن کاملSpirometry with bronchodilator test: effect that the use of large-volume spacers with antistatic treatment has on test response.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the use of inhaled albuterol via a metered-dose inhaler with a large-volume spacer with antistatic treatment modifies the bronchodilator test results when compared with the usual technique (no spacer). METHODS A prospective study involving 24 patients, 18-45 years of age, clinically suspected of having asthma, and under treatment at the Outpatient Pulmonary Clini...
متن کاملBronchodilator response in patients with normal baseline spirometry.
BACKGROUND Spirometry before and after bronchodilator is performed to assess air flow-limitation reversibility. In patients with normal baseline spirometry the frequency of a positive bronchodilator response, as defined by American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society criteria, has not been described. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed adult patients tested in 2 academic pulmonary ...
