Assessment of bronchodilator efficacy in symptomatic COPD: is spirometry useful?
Bronchodilator therapy in COPD is deemed successful if it improves ventilatory mechanics to a degree where effective symptom alleviation and increased exercise capacity are achieved. A greater understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of dyspnea and exercise intolerance in COPD has prompted a reevaluation of the manner in which we currently assess therapeutic efficacy. The traditional re...
متن کاملMaking the diagnosis of asthma.
Diagnostic tests can only increase or decrease the probability of the asthma diagnosis, so a thorough history is very important. In patients with asthma-like symptoms, spirometric evidence of airway obstruction plus a large bronchodilator response makes asthma much more likely. However, normal spirometry is common in patients with mild asthma who are not symptomatic at the time of testing, and ...
متن کاملCan bronchodilators improve exercise tolerance in COPD patients without dynamic hyperinflation? *
OBJECTIVE To investigate the modulatory effects that dynamic hyperinflation (DH), defined as a reduction in inspiratory capacity (IC), has on exercise tolerance after bronchodilator in patients with COPD. METHODS An experimental, randomized study involving 30 COPD patients without severe hypoxemia. At baseline, the patients underwent clinical assessment, spirometry, and incremental cardiopulm...
متن کاملEstimating the U.S. prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2010
BACKGROUND During 2007-2010, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted a spirometry component which obtained pre-bronchodilator pulmonary lung function data on a nationally representative sample of US adults aged 6-79 years and post-bronchodilator pulmonary lung function data for the subset of adults with airflow limitation. The goals of this study were to 1) compu...
متن کاملAcute bronchodilator responsiveness and health outcomes in COPD patients in the UPLIFT trial
BACKGROUND Debate continues as to whether acute bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) predicts long-term outcomes in COPD. Furthermore, there is no consensus on a threshold for BDR. METHODS At baseline and during the 4-year Understanding Potential Long-term Improvements in Function with Tiotropium (UPLIFT®) trial, patients had spirometry performed before and after administration of ipratropium ...
