In moderate-to-severe asthma patients monitoring exhaled nitric oxide during exacerbation is not a good predictor of spirometric response to oral corticosteroid

Abstract

The importance of monitoring exhaled nitric oxide (NO) in asthma remains controversial. To measure exhaled NO, postnebulized albuterol/ipratropium spirometry, and Asthma Control Test (ACT) during asthma exacerbation requiring 8- to 10-day tapering oral corticosteroid in nonsmoking patients with moderate-to-severe asthma on moderate-dose inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting β(2)-agonist but not maintenance oral corticosteroid. After measuring the fraction of exhaled NO (Feno [ppb]) at 50, 100, 150, and 200 mL/s, the total Feno at 50 mL/s (ppb), large central airway NO flux (J'(awNO) [nL/s]), and peripheral small airway/alveolar NO concentration (C(ANO) [ppb]) were calculated and corrected for NO axial back-diffusion. Outpatient exacerbation required the patient with asthma to be afebrile with normal chest x-ray and white blood cell count. Group 1 included 17 patients (6 men) with asthma, age 52 ± 12 years, studied at baseline, during 18 exacerbations with abnormal Feno at 50 mL/s, J'(awNO), and/or C(ANO), and post 8- to 10-day tapering 40 mg prednisone (recovery). Baseline: IgE, 332 ± 243 Kμ; total blood eosinophils, 304 ± 266 cells/μL; body mass index, 28 ± 6; ACT, 16 to 19; and FEV(1), 2.5 ± 0.7 L (86% ± 20% predicted); exac...Continue Reading

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
