Deep inspiration volume and the impaired reversal of bronchoconstriction in asthma

Highlights • We measured deep inspiration maximal dilatation and residual dilatation. • Different deep breath volumes were compared in asthmatics and non-asthmatics. • Deep breath volume was positively associated with maximal dilatation in both groups. • In non-asthmatics, the degree of maximal dila...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We measured deep inspiration maximal dilatation and residual dilatation. • Different deep breath volumes were compared in asthmatics and non-asthmatics. • Deep breath volume was positively associated with maximal dilatation in both groups. • In non-asthmatics, the degree of maximal dilatation predicted residual dilatation. • In asthmatics, maximal dilatation was not related to residual dilatation.
