Effect of terbutaline on bronchoconstriction induced by nebulised pentamidine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The severity, duration, and reversibility of pentamidine induced bronchial narrowing was studied with and without pretreatment with nebulised terbutaline 10 mg in an open study of 40 patients seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). All subjects received pentamidine 300 mg in 5 ml water via an Acorn System 22 jet nebuliser. The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) fell in all 20 patients given pentamidine alone, the mean maximum fall being 20.6%. In the 20 patients given pentamidine preceded by nebulised terbutaline the mean maximum fall in FEV1 was 4%; three subjects had a fall in FEV1 of more than 10%.

Effect of terbutaline on hyperpnoea-induced bronchoconstriction and urinary club cell protein 16 in athletes.
Repeated injury of the airway epithelium caused by hyperpnoea of poorly conditioned air has been proposed as a key factor in the pathogenesis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in athletes. In animals, the short-acting β2-agonist terbutaline has been shown to reduce dry airflow-induced bronchoconstriction and the associated shedding of airway epithelial cells. Our aim was to test the...
متن کاملEffect of preservative on the efficacy of terbutaline nebuliser solution in atopic asthma.
The efficacy of bronchodilator nebuliser solutions may be influenced by the presence of preservatives. In a double blind, randomised, crossover study the effect of preservatives in determining the airway responses to 5 mg of terbutaline was studied in a group of 21 atopic asthmatic patients. The presence of preservatives affected neither the bronchodilator action of terbutaline nor its protecti...

The choice of nebuliser and delivery system is If nebulisers are to be used within the hospital dictated by the need to deposit pentamidine then nebulisation should be carried out in a in the alveoli and to avoid deposition in the room separate from the main ward area, ideally oropharynx, trachea, and major bronchi. ...

The onset of bronchoprotection as obtained by various beta2-agonists has not been examined in a comparitive study. In this study, the onset of bronchodilation and protection against exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatics after inhalation of the long-acting beta2-agonists formoterol and salmeterol and the short-acting beta2-agonist terbutaline were measured. Twenty-five subjects with...
متن کاملNebulized Pentamidine-Induced Acute Renal Allograft Dysfunction
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a recognised complication of intravenous pentamidine therapy. A direct nephrotoxic effect leading to acute tubular necrosis has been postulated. We report a case of severe renal allograft dysfunction due to nebulised pentamidine. The patient presented with repeated episodes of AKI without obvious cause and acute tubular necrosis only on renal histology. Nebulised pe...
