Kinetics of the recovery from bronchial obstruction due to hyperventilation of cold air in asthmatic subjects.

The timecourse of recovery from bronchial obstruction due to inhaled cold air was studied in eight adult asthmatic subjects. On the first visit, bronchial responsiveness to inhaled histamine was assessed. On the other two visits, after assessment of baseline lung resistance (RL) and spirometry, dry cold (-20 degrees C) air was inhaled for three minutes. RL was monitored continuously until its return to baseline +/- 20%. The baseline concentration of histamine causing a 20% fall in FEV1 (PC20) varied from 0.03 to 5.9 mg.ml-1. The mean maximum increase in RL was 2-fold (2.03 +/- 0.41) and was reached 2-11 min after the challenge. RL values were linearly correlated to time (r2 values greater than 0.80 in 14/16 instances). The two slopes of recovery were not significantly different. Slopes of recovery and total time of recovery (14-55 min) varied greatly between subjects. No relationship was found between baseline airway calibre, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and maximal increase in baseline RL on the one hand and the slopes of recovery on the other.
