Effects of two inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta-agonist combinations on small-airway dysfunction in mild asthmatics measured by impulse oscillometry
BACKGROUND We previously showed that the long-acting beta agonist (LABA) salmeterol as inhalation powder or metered-dose inhaler improves lung-function parameters assessed by impulse oscillometry (IOS) in 2- to 5-year-old children with reversible-airway disease within 15 minutes. OBJECTIVE We studied 12- to 45-year-olds with mild persistent asthma in order to compare the onset and extent of p...
متن کاملSmall airway dysfunction is associated with poorer asthma control.
The clinical relevance of the small airways in persistent asthma has been gaining greater recognition in recent years [1]. Studies have shown that a significant proportion of asthmatics on standard treatment fail to achieve satisfactory asthma control. For example, in one study of 3421 asthmatic subjects who underwent guideline-driven dose titration with standard inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)/l...

متن کاملAccuracy of Impulse Oscillometry in Airway Dysfunction
Background: The purpose of this study was to calculate and compare the specificity and sensitivity of impulse oscillometry (IOS) as a new technique in the detection of airways dysfunction by means of a simple pulmonary function test in chemical warfare injured cases suffering from respiratory diseases. Methods: The study was performed prospectively in 100 patients, who complained of dyspnea as ...
متن کاملImpulse Oscillometry and Spirometry Small-Airway Parameters in Mild to Moderate Bronchiectasis.
BACKGROUND Both impulse oscillometry and spirometry can reflect small-airway disorders. The objective of this work was to investigate the diagnostic value of impulse oscillometry and spirometry small-airway parameters and their correlation with radiology, disease severity, and sputum bacteriology in mild to moderate bronchiectasis (bronchiectasis severity index <9) and to validate these finding...
