Attenuation of isocapnic hyperpnoea-induced guinea-pig bronchoconstriction by chronic hypoxia.
Chronic hypoxia has been shown to augment the production of antioxidants in rat lungs and to reduce airway hyperreactivity in patients with asthma. This study investigated indirectly whether this increase in antioxidants occurs in guinea-pig lungs and whether the increased antioxidants affect hyperpnoea-induced bronchoconstriction (HIB). Guinea-pigs were divided into four groups: control (n=8);...
متن کاملProvocation by eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea to identify exercise induced bronchoconstriction.
The International Olympic Committee Medical Commission (IOC-MC) requires notification for use of a beta(2) agonist at the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. This notification will be required seven days before the event and must be accompanied by objective evidence that justifies the need to use one. The IOC-MC has expressed the viewpoint that, at present, eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea (EV...
متن کاملAttenuation of propranolol-induced bronchoconstriction by frusemide.
BACKGROUND Inhaled propranolol causes bronchoconstriction in asthmatic subjects by an indirect mechanism which remains unclear. Inhaled frusemide has been shown to attenuate a number of indirectly acting bronchoconstrictor challenges. The aim of this study was to investigate whether frusemide could protect against propranolol-induced bronchoconstriction in patients with stable mild asthma. ME...
متن کاملIsocapnic hyperpnoea accelerates recovery from isoflurane anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND Hyperventilation should speed up elimination of volatile anaesthetic agents from the body, but hyperventilation usually results in hypocapnia. We compared recovery from isoflurane anaesthesia in patients allowed to recover with assisted spontaneous ventilation (control) and those treated with isocapnic hyperpnoea. METHODS Fourteen patients were studied after approximately 1 h of an...
متن کاملAttenuation of platelet-activating factor induced bronchoconstriction by nedocromil sodium.
We assessed the effect of nedocromil sodium on bronchoconstriction and airway responsiveness induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) in eight normal subjects, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study. Subjects inhaled PAF by a dosimeter method in 5 doses of 18 micrograms each, separated by an interval of 15 min, (total dose of 90 micrograms). Airway calibre was measured by par...
