Prevalence and Reversibility of Lung Hyperinflation in Asthma (Dist'air2)

April 5, 2012 updated by: Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.

Evaluation of the Prevalence and the Reversibility of the Lung Hyperinflation in Uncontrolled Persistent Asthmatic Patients With Dyspnea

The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the pulmonary hyperinflation and its immediate reversibility to a short acting beta2 agonist test in uncontrolled persistent asthmatic patients with dyspnea.

Conditions

Detailed Description

The other objectives are :

  • the evaluation of the hyperinflation defined by an increase of the residual volume (RV),
  • the observation of the relationship between the hyperinflation and the asthma characteristics,
  • the study of the improvement of the functional parameters after a reversibility test
  • the evaluation of the correlation between hyperinflation parameters evolution, chest tightness and dyspnea
