Spirometry and Bronchodilator Test
Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2017 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

Bronchodilators for bronchiolitis [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2006 Bronchiolitis is an acute, viral lower respiratory tract infection affecting infants and often treated with bronchodilators.To assess the effects of bronchodilators on clinical outcomes in infants with acute bronchiolitis.We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2010, Issue 1) which contains the ...

The future of bronchodilation: looking for new classes of bronchodilators [PDF]
European Respiratory Review, 2019 Available bronchodilators can satisfy many of the needs of patients suffering from airway disorders, but they often do not relieve symptoms and their long-term use raises safety concerns. Therefore, there is interest in developing new classes that could help to overcome the limits that characterise the existing classes.At least nine potential new ...

COPD: maximization of bronchodilation [PDF]
Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2014 The most recent guidelines define COPD in a multidimensional way, nevertheless the diagnosis is still linked to the limitation of airflow, usually measured by the reduction in the FEV1/FVC ratio below 70%. However, the severity of obstruction is not directly correlated to symptoms or to invalidity determined by COPD.

Chronic Respiratory Disease Prevalence, Burden, and Treatment in Cape Town: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims There is a high burden of respiratory symptoms in South Africa, but accurate classification of diagnoses is challenging. Due to the adverse risk profile, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment should only be used in specific conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with eosinophilia.

Bronchodilator reversibility in asthma and COPD: findings from three large population studies
European Respiratory Journal, 2019 Bronchodilator response (BDR) testing is used as a diagnostic method in obstructive airway diseases. The aim of this investigation was to compare different methods for measuring BDR in participants with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...

Clinical significance of the bronchodilator response in children with severe asthma
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2019 Our objective was to determine those characteristics associated with reversibility of airflow obstruction and response to maximal bronchodilation in children with severe asthma through the Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP).
