DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Bronchoprovocation with methacholine to determine the one-second capacity (FEV1) (see provocation test)
IndicationThis section has been translated automatically.
ImplementationThis section has been translated automatically.
- Inhalation of smallest amounts of methacholine in ascending doses.
- After each inhalation, complete lung function measurement (recording of lung volume by spirometry).
- A drop in forced one-second capacity (FEV1) of at least 20% allows estimation of the severity of bronchial hyperreactivity.
- If bronchial constriction has occurred, application of a bronchodilator spray for inhalation. This makes it possible to classify the severity of the bronchial hypersensitivity.
