AbstractBackground: Studies into the effects of salbutamol in the treatment of wheeze in infancy have been conflicting, possibly due to differences in outcome variables. We aimed to assess the response to salbutamol using indices derived from passive and forced expiration.Methods: We recruited 39 infants who had a history of wheezing (mean age 43 weeks) and measured maximum flow at functional residual capacity (V′maxFRC) by rapid thoracoabdominal compression (RTC), and forced expired volume at 0.4s (FEV0.4) using the raised-volume RTC technique (RV-RTC). We calculated passive compliance (Crs), resistance (Rrs) and time constant (τ) from relaxed expirations that followed the augmented inspirations delivered during RV-RTC. Measurements were r...
