Effects of Noninvasive Ventilation Compared to Salbutamol

• Status: Completed

• Participant gender: All

Summary

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent and reversible episodes of airway obstruction. Drug treatment usually includes inhaled corticosteroids and bronchial dilators, which often do not have adequate adherence. These acute episodes of bronchoconstriction can most often occur with hyperinflation and for decades the mechanisms that lead to hyperinflation have been studied, as well as increasingly modern ways of evaluating and treating these mechanisms. Noninvasive ventilation is increasingly occupying its space as a non-pharmacological resource in the treatment of asthma, initially as an adjunct in an attempt to help medication have its effect reached in the crisis, but this feature has been showing signs of having an even greater action which can even collaborate in reversing the crisis by not only giving time for pharmacological action. Recognizing these potential effects of this widely used resource and understanding its action on lung function and the reversal of exacerbation is part of this scientific process.
