Abstract:
Asthma is one of the most common respiratory disease in children.Maintaining normal activity level(exercise ability) is the goal of treatment in children with asthma.However, when children with asthma do exercise, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) may occur.EIB is a situation that needs urgent recognition and treatment, and its severity can be determined through exercise challenge testing.But exercise challenge testing needs the equipment that expensive and difficult to implement.And it has not been widely used in clinical practice.Therefore, we need to find a more convenient method to identify EIB in children with asthma and apply it to clinical practice.This article introduces the definition and pathogenesis of EIB in children with asthma, summarizes the diagnostic methods and the prevention and treatment of EIB, so as to help pediatricians understand EIB more deeply and instruct children with asthma to do exercise better.
