The role of hyperventilation in exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. 1978

R J Zeballos, and R Shturman-Ellstein, and J F McNally, and J E Hirsch, and J F Souhrada

Significant bronchoconstriction, comparable in severity to that observed after moderate treadmill exercise, was induced in asthmatic children by voluntary isocapnic hyperventilation of 3-min and 10-min duration. In both hyperventilation and exercise, nasal breathing inhibited the bronchoconstrictive responses, whereas mouth breathing potentiated the bronchoconstrictive response. In the asthmatic children, 10 min of voluntary isocapnic hyperventilation did not represent a greater bronchoconstrictive stimulus than did 10 min of exercise or 3 min of isocapnic hyperventilation. This study also showed that in normal children there was no measurable airway response after either voluntary isocapnic hyperventilation or moderate exercise. Finally, this study indicates that it is the stimulation of upper airway receptors by relatively cold and dry air, rather than hyperventilation per se, that provokes exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006985 Hyperventilation A pulmonary ventilation rate faster than is metabolically necessary for the exchange of gases. It is the result of an increased frequency of breathing, an increased tidal volume, or a combination of both. It causes an excess intake of oxygen and the blowing off of carbon dioxide. Hyperventilations
D008297 Male Males
D012119 Respiration The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration ( Breathing
D012129 Respiratory Function Tests Measurement of the various processes involved in the act of respiration: inspiration, expiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, lung volume and compliance, etc. Lung Function Tests,Pulmonary Function Tests,Function Test, Pulmonary,Function Tests, Pulmonary,Pulmonary Function Test,Test, Pulmonary Function,Tests, Pulmonary Function,Function Test, Lung,Function Test, Respiratory,Function Tests, Lung,Function Tests, Respiratory,Lung Function Test,Respiratory Function Test,Test, Lung Function,Test, Respiratory Function,Tests, Lung Function,Tests, Respiratory Function
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D005082 Physical Exertion Expenditure of energy during PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. Intensity of exertion may be measured by rate of OXYGEN CONSUMPTION; HEAT produced, or HEART RATE. Perceived exertion, a psychological measure of exertion, is included. Physical Effort,Effort, Physical,Efforts, Physical,Exertion, Physical,Exertions, Physical,Physical Efforts,Physical Exertions

D005541 Forced Expiratory Volume Measure of the maximum amount of air that can be expelled in a given number of seconds during a FORCED VITAL CAPACITY determination . It is usually given as FEV followed by a subscript indicating the number of seconds over which the measurement is made, although it is sometimes given as a percentage of forced vital capacity.
