چکیده

Inhaled short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) are most effective in preventing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, followed by inhaled mast cell stabilizers and anticholinergic agents (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, multiple randomized control trials [RCTs]). Less evidence supports the use of leukotriene antagonists and inhaled corticosteroids, either individually or in combination (SOR: B). Underlying asthma, which commonly contributes to exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, should be diagnosed and controlled first (SOR: C).

Mechanisms of bronchoconstriction from nonimmunologic environmental stimuli.

Athma is characterized by repeated episodes of bronchoconstriction, often triggered by environmental stimuli. Since much of the therapy of asthma is aimed at preventing these episodes of bronchoconstriction, understanding the mechanisms by which environmental stimuli cause bronchoconstriction has obvious clinical importance. This review will discuss the general mechanisms by which inhaled agent...

Effect of different antiasthmatic treatments on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in children with asthma.

BACKGROUND Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction occurs in a large proportion of children with asthma, limiting everyday activities important for their physical and social development. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to compare the ability of different patterns of antiasthmatic treatment, recommended in childhood asthma, to protect patients ...

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in children and adolescents with asthma who report symptoms of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

Patients with asthma often report symptoms of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. We performed cardiopulmonary exercise testing to establish the cause of exercise limitation in patients with asthma, under treatment, who reported symptoms of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Ten of the 42 patients meeting criteria for inclusion in our study (24%) developed exercise-induced bronchoconstrict...

Monitoring pulmonary function during exercise in children with asthma.

OBJECTIVE Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is defined as acute, reversible bronchoconstriction induced by physical exercise. It is widely believed that EIB occurs after exercise. However, in children with asthma the time to maximal bronchoconstriction after exercise is short, suggesting that the onset of EIB in such children occurs during exercise. AIM In this study the authors inve...

Exercise induced bronchoconstriction in adults: evidence based diagnosis and management.

EIB is defined as “the transient narrowing of the lower airway following exercise in the presence or absence of clinically recognized asthma.” Bronchoconstriction typically develops within 15 minutes after exercise and spontaneously resolves within 60 minutes. After an episode of EIB, there is often a refractory period of about 1-3 hours in which, if exercise is repeated, the bronchoconstrictio...
