The assessment of dyspnea in bronchial asthma
1Health and Medical Sciences Department, Faculty of Science, University of Mauritius, Reduit.
Abstract:
We report a new quality of life measuring instrument for the self-assessment of dyspnea in bronchial asthma patients while performing a daily activities test. The instrument was tested for sensitivity to inhaled B-agonist in patients with moderate to severe asthma. Results indicated that the new scale was a sensitive and simple tool which may be useful in the therapeutic management of bronchial asthma.
