Agreement in Asthmatics' Perception of Dyspnea During Acute and Chronic Obstruction

2005

Objective Three types of asthmatic patients can be identified during periods of clinical stability: “poor perceivers,” “normal perceivers,” and “over perceivers.” When asthmatics undergo bronchial challenge in the laboratory, the same distinctions in type of perception can be observed. The aim of the present study was to determine the level of agreement between the 2 situations. Patients and methods A total of 93 patients with persistent moderate asthma (36 men and 57 women; mean age 40 years) were studied. We asked them to assess their dyspnea on a modified Borg scale when stable and after each histamine dose in a bronchial provocation test. When a patient's Borg scale assessment in stable…

International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) fase II: metodología y resultados de participación en España

2001

Antecedentes: La fase I del ISAAC ha proporcionado información muy valiosa sobre la prevalencia mundial de asma y alergia en la infancia. Objetivos: Describir la puesta en marcha de la fase II del estudio y la participación de niños normales en cada una de las pruebas que se realizan, en las cuatro ciudades participantes en España, y establecer en Cartagena, qué influencia puede tener el tipo de colegio o la localización (área contaminada o no). Métodos: En su fase II, el ISAAC incluye cuestionario de síntomas y de factores de riesgo y tratamiento, examen de piel, prick-test cutáneo, prueba de provocación bronquial, determinación de inmunoglobulina E (IgE) total y específica, y medición de …

How Can We Assess the Perception of Induced Dyspnea in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease?

2004

Objective TO evaluate various methods for studying the perception of dyspnea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using a new parameter, the change in Borg scale rating, and others already in use: the linear regression slope and the application of Stevens' law to the response-perception curve-ie change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ΔFEV 1 )-change in dyspnea (Adyspnea). Patients and method A bronchial challenge test was performed on 70 patients with stable COPD and no contraindications for performing the test (European Respiratory Society criteria), during which dyspnea was measured (Borg scale) after each nebulization. Perception was analyzed using: a ) the linear reg…
