 | | The increased incidence of bronchospasm seemed related, at least temporally, with the use of this new muscle relaxant. | | | Children that developed bronchospasm were at least 10 times more likely to have received rapacuronium than another muscle relaxant. | | | Most practitioners, after one experience with rapacuronium induced bronchospasm, did not use the drug again. |

| | Exercise Bronchospasm in Recreational Athletes |
| | The first component of effective treatment of exercise bronchospasm in adolescents and young adults is educating athletes, parents, and coaches. | | | However, 42 of the 60 athletes with exercise bronchospasm reported coughing, chest tightness, or wheezing after strenuous exercise, which illustrates the phenomenon of exercise bronchospasm in nonasthmatic, conditioned athletes. | | | They should suspect exercise bronchospasm if athletes cough after strenuous exercise sessions, are easily winded in preseason drills, or are out of shape in the middle of the season after having been well conditioned. |

| | EXERCISE-INDUCED BRONCHOSPASM |
| | “Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm” can be and often is a separate condition. | | | This is important also because of the occurrence in some individuals of “tachyphylaxis” (gradually reducing bronchospasm episodes) with continued exertion: “working through it”. | | | Some persons, more likely the young and physically active, experience bronchospasm (cough, wheeze, shortness of breath) only on exertion and in the absence of any underlying allergic or asthmatic disorder. |

| | Effects Of Smoked Marijuana In Experimentally Induced Asthma (Summary) |
| | Tashkin states in the study that his findings "appear to support the benefit ascribed to the use of cannabis in the last century for the treatment of bronchial asthma." | | | After exercise induced bronchospasm, placebo marijuana and saline were followed by gradual recovery during 30 to 60 min, whereas 2.0 per cent marijuana and isoproterenol caused an immediate reversal of exercise induced asthma and hyperinflation. | | | Bronchospasm was induced on 4 separate occasions, by inhalation of methacholine and, on four other occasions, by exercise on a bicycle ergometer or treadmill. |
