Refractoriness to bronchoconstriction following hyperventilation with cold dry air.

M E Soto, R Schnall, L I Landau

    Pediatric Pulmonology
    |March 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cold, dry air initially dilates airways but then constricts them. Exercise causes greater airway dilation than hyperventilation alone, suggesting airway refractoriness may occur in large airways.

    Area of Science:

    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Airway hyperresponsiveness is a key feature of asthma.
    • Environmental factors like cold, dry air can trigger bronchoconstriction.
    • Understanding airway responses to different stimuli is crucial for managing respiratory conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of cold, dry air hyperventilation on airway function.
    • To compare the bronchodilatory effects of exercise versus hyperventilation.
    • To explore the phenomenon of airway refractoriness following respiratory challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifteen subjects underwent repeated challenges with cold, dry air and warm, humidified air.
    • Subjects also performed exercise challenges.

  • Measurements included forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) to assess airway caliber.

    • Main Results:

    • Hyperventilation of cold, dry air caused an initial bronchodilation followed by bronchoconstriction.
    • Exercise induced a greater increase in FEV1 compared to hyperventilation alone.
    • A period of refractoriness to subsequent challenges was observed after both exercise and cold air hyperventilation.

    Conclusions:

    • The large airways may be the primary site responsible for the refractory period observed after respiratory challenges.
    • Cold, dry air exposure can elicit complex, biphasic airway responses.
    • Exercise appears to be a more potent stimulus for bronchodilation than isolated hyperventilation of cold air.
