Exhaled breath temperature and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic children.
Pediatr Pulmonol. 2011 Sep 8;
Authors: Peroni DG, Chinellato I, Piazza M, Zardini F, Bodini A, Olivieri F, Boner AL, Piacentini GL
Abstract
It has been hypothesized that exhaled breath temperature (EBT) is related to the degree of airway inflammation/remodeling in asthma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the level of airway response to exercise and EBT in a group of controlled or partly controlled asthmatic children. Fifty asthmatic children underwent measurements of EBT before and after a standardized exercise test. EBT was 32.92?±?1.13 and 33.35?±?0.95°C before and after exercise, respectively (P?<?0.001). The % decrease in FEV(1) was significantly correlated with the increase in EBT (r?=?0.44, P?=?0.0013), being r?=?0.49 (P?<?0.005) in the children who were not receiving regular inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and 0.37 (n.s.) in those who were. This study further supports the hypothesis that EBT can be considered a potential composite tool for monitoring asthma. Pediatr Pulmonol. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
