Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The protective effect of a single regular dose of salbutamol compared with a placebo against inspiratory airflow obstruction in asthmatic children aged 8 till 16 years old.
Secondary outcome
The relation between the protective effect of salbutamol against inspiratory airflow obstruction and EIB.
Background summary
Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a highly frequent and specific symptom of asthma and also the most bothersome as reported by asthmatic children. Exercise challenge tests (ECT) can identify EIB and are therefore frequently used to diagnose and evaluate asthma. Salbutamol provides excellent protection against EIB, however in daily life prophylactic salbutamol does not always prevent exercise induced symptoms in asthmatic children. A recent study demonstrated that the majority of children with EIB have besides expiratory also inspiratory airflow obstruction. This means that exercise can induce narrowing of the larger airways, possibly as a response to EIB. It is not known to what extent salbutamol can reduce this inspiratory airflow obstruction. Main objective of this study is to investigate if salbutamol protects against inspiratory airflow obstruction.
Study objective
Profylactisch 200ugr salbutamol kan tot 50% beschermen tegen de inspiratoire luchtwegobstructie gemeten in MIF50 die bij de meerderheid van de astmatische kinderen met FEV1 daling tijdens/na inspanning optreedt.
Study design
t= 0: exercise challenge test 1.
t= 1week later: exercise challenge test 2.
Placebo or salbutamol in randomized order.
Intervention
Two exercise challenge test (older children perform this test on a treadmill, younger children on a jumping castle). 15 minutes prior to the test children inhale either 200ugr salbutamol or a placebo.
