Bronchoconstriction Stimulated by Airway Cooling
Abstract
We compared the effect of inhaled terbutaline sulphate (1,000 micrograms), cromolyn sodium (20 mg), terbutaline plus cromolyn, and placebo on the response to respiratory heat loss (RHL) in 10 asthmatics in whom terbutaline alone did not completely inhibit the response to RHL.
