| | Bronchodilator responses to metaproterenol sulfate among subjects with spinal cord injury |
 | | The primary aim of this study was to assess bronchodilator response to aerosolized MS among subjects with tetraplegia and paraplegia by use of standard spirometric criteria and sGaw. | | | It was previously observed that significant bronchodilator responsiveness to inhaled metaproterenol sulfate (MS), as defined by at least a 12 percent increase in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), occurred among 42 percent of spontaneously breathing subjects with chronic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) [1]. | | | Bronchodilator responses to metaproterenol sulfate among subjects with spinal cord injury |

| | Aerosolized bronchodilator therapy in premature infants is not as well established as in adults and pediatric patients. | | | The infant may need bronchodilator therapy, yet the medication is not effectively bronchodilating the airways. | | | Both MDI with spacer and nebulized bronchodilator therapy have been examined during techniques of manually bagging the medication to the patient as well as inline with the ventilator circuit. |

| | eMJA: Bronchodilator reversibility testing: laboratory practices in Australia and New Zealand |
| | The response to inhaled bronchodilator is used to help discriminate asthma from smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) — a larger bronchodilator response is believed to indicate asthma. | | | For example, underestimation of the bronchodilator response in COPD may lead to withholding of bronchodilators or inhaled corticosteroid therapy, although few data exist for this latter recommendation. | | | This wide variety of methods to assess bronchodilator response is a result of the lack of evidence in this area, leading to consensus-based rather than evidence-based practice. |
