Comparison of single-breath and tidal breathing exhaled nitric oxide levels in infants.
The aim of this study was to compare two different methods, tidal breathing (TB) and single-breath (SB), for measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) in infants. FENO was measured in 71 infants with either recurrent wheeze (n=32), recurrent cough (n=16) or no symptoms (healthy, n=23) using both methods. For TB measurements five breaths were collected into a gas sampling bag (off-line re...
متن کاملRecurrent wheeze and its relationship with lung function and airway inflammation in preschool children: a cross-sectional study in South Korea
BACKGROUND Relationship between recurrent wheeze and airway function and inflammation in preschool children is not fully known. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between recurrent wheeze and airway inflammation, lung function, airway hyper-reactivity (AHR) and atopy in preschool children. DESIGN Observational study, comparing forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capa...
متن کاملAssessment of exhaled nitric oxide kinetics in healthy infants.
Exhaled nitric oxide (Fe(NO)) measurements provide a noninvasive approach to the evaluation of airway inflammation. Flow-independent NO exchange parameters [airway NO transfer factor (D(NO)) and airway wall NO concentration (Cw(NO))] can be estimated from Fe(NO) measurements at low flows and may elucidate mechanisms of disturbances in NO exchange. We measured Fe(NO) in sedated infants by using ...

متن کاملBronchodilation in infants with malacia or recurrent wheeze.
BACKGROUND Controversy remains regarding the effectiveness of bronchodilators in wheezy infants. AIMS To assess the effect of inhaled beta(2) agonists on lung function in infants with malacia or recurrent wheeze, and to determine whether a negative effect of beta(2) agonists on forced expiratory flow (V'(maxFRC)) is more pronounced in infants with airway malacia, compared to infants with whee...
