Exhaled Air Temperature (TAE) As A Marker Of Airway Inflammation In Asthma
Exhaled Air Temperature (TAE) As A Marker Of Airway Inflammation In Asthma
The goals : to develop and computerize equipment for measuring ITAE , compare the results
 with TAEP Itae study the possible relationship between different markers of inflammation:
 sputum eosinophils , FeNO , the ITAE and TAEP and see the influence spirometry or a
 bronchodilator in measuring the ITAE .

 It has designed a line of work studying the following aspects :

 1. Comparison with TAEP ITAE in a group of healthy and stable asthmatics 60 patients , 30
 asthma and 30 volunteers .

 Two . Study of the relationship between the number of eosinophils in sputum, FeNO , the ITAE
 and TAEP , 30 patients randomly FeNO , the ITAE and TAEP be measured.

 Three . ITAE measurement before and after the spirometry test , 20 patients , in stable phase
 will be measured before and after the ITAE spirometry .

 April . ITAE baseline measurement and after administration of 400 micrograms of salbutamol ,
 20 patients diagnosed with asthma , phase stable , they measure the ITAE before and fifteen
 minutes after administration of salbutamol .

 May . Measurement in patients Itae a bronchial provocation test with methacholine was
 performed , 20 patients were measured and baseline Itae after administration of methacholine
 .

 6. Measuring Itae in patients during an asthma exacerbation and stable phase , 20 patients
 during an exacerbation , the ITAE be measured. Already in clinically stable measurement is
 repeated.
