Summary
The purpose is to characterize the change of respiratory admittance induced by salbutamol
inhalation in children and young adults. A variation threshold will be fixed to distinguish
asthmatic and healthy subjects.
This project could allow a better identification of asthmatic individuals needing a
treatment, a reduction of morbidity of asthma, a reduction of unnecessary treatments
administered in individuals with respiratory but not asthmatic symptoms, a better
comprehension of bronchial hyperreactivity and its role in asthmatic disease.
