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 an acceptable and reproducible method for determining forced vital capacity (FVC).

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.

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 ...

European Respiratory Journal, 2018 We performed a meta-analysis to compare the impact of triple combination therapy with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs) and long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonists (LAMAs) versus LABA/LAMA combination therapy or single ...

Pharmacological Modulation of Endotoxin-Induced Release of IL-26 in Human Primary Lung Fibroblasts
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Background: Interleukin (IL)-26 is a neutrophil-mobilizing and bactericidal cytokine that is enhanced in human airways in vivo in response to endotoxin from Gram-negative bacteria.

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).
