The bronchodilator test in patients with airway obstruction: the responsiveness of lung function parameters

Abstract

Interpretation of bronchodilator (BD) test based on reaction of forced expiratory in one second (FEV 1). For assessing bronchodilator responsiveness of lung volumes, airway resistance remains largely unexplored. Therefore, we assessed the response of pulmonary function parameters to BD to reveal the most responsive parameter. 90 patients with chronic airway obstruction (61 male and 29 female; aged 55±11; post-  BD FEV 1 was 63.1+18.3 % predicted) performed spirometry and static lung volume measurements before and after inhalation of BD. We calculated effect size (ES) for each parameter from the difference between two means divided by the standard deviation of baseline score. There was a significant increase both FVC and FEV 1by 8.2 and 12.3 % from baseline (p<0.001). ES were 0.34 for FEV1 and 0.26 for FVC. The ES for lung volumes were from -0.07 (total lung capacity) to -0.31 (residual volume). The ES for sRtot (specific airway resistance) was -0.5 and ES for sGeff (specific effective airway conductance) was 0.95. The parameters of airway resistance and conductance were more responsive for the assessment of pulmonary function changes than spirometry and lung volumes parameters in patients with chronic airway obstruction.
