Respiratoric
- Cough
I feel fine and I don't have a fever, just a cough that is sometimes dry and sometimes isn't. When I do cough something up, its like kind of clear/white. [lookfordiagnosis.com]
Lungwort* —Sticta pulmonaria: For cough and bronchitis. For dry hacking night cough, preventing sleep. Treats lingering coughs after measles, flu, colds, whooping cough. Soothes tickling in throat, bronchi, where one cough incites another. [homemademedicine.com]
It could have been in response to aspiration of food or liquid, as would have been the cough. Some individuals experience this when they have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). [medhelp.org]
- Dyspnea
Abstract The object of the experiments to be reported here was to elucidate some of the problems associated with the dyspnea of heart disease. [annals.org]
Angioedema Patients may present with signs of airway obstruction with stridor and dyspnea. The voice may be muffled or hoarse. Patients may not be able to process their own secretions and may be drooling or appear to have odynophagia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

- Persistent Cough
Severe coughing, with or without wheezing, could be a sign of asthma. Asthma can kill you, sometimes very fast. Source Tips to Get You Through the Night Few things are more irritating than a persistent cough. [remedygrove.com]
Pertussis ( whooping cough ): A highly contagious infection of the airways (bronchi) by Bordetella pertussis, causing persistent cough. A booster vaccine (Tdap) is recommended for adolescents and adults to prevent pertussis. [m.webmd.com]
It may also cause severe infections and a persistent cough. Other congenital problems may present from birth or early in infancy - eg, laryngeal or tracheal structural abnormalities, congenital heart disease. [patient.info]
- Pulmonary Disorder
Asthma is an obstructive pulmonary disorder. The airway narrowing results--somewhat counterintuitively--in the patient having trouble getting air *out* of the lungs, resulting in air-trapping in the alveoli. [answers.yahoo.com]
Inflammation of the airways:- Many conditions cause inflammation of the airways, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. [healthresource4u.com]
- Dry Cough
Asthma cough is a type of dry cough caused by bronchial spasms. Research shows that asthma cough is caused by excessive immune action against irritants or allergens. [streetdirectory.com]
Lungwort* —Sticta pulmonaria: For cough and bronchitis. For dry hacking night cough, preventing sleep. Treats lingering coughs after measles, flu, colds, whooping cough. Soothes tickling in throat, bronchi, where one cough incites another. [homemademedicine.com]
Workup
Pulmonary Function Test
- Reversible Airway Obstruction
In this case, d-penicillamine-induced reversible airway obstruction developed, despite the "go slow--go low" regimen as suggested to reduce the incidence of its side effects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Corticosteroids and inhaled salbutamol in patients with reversible airway obstruction markedly decrease the incidence of bronchospasm after tracheal intubation. Anesthesiology 2004; 100: 1052-1057 13 Bateman ED, Hurd SS, Barnes PJ et al. [thieme-connect.com]
Treatment
Elliott says: “It’s a treatment which has worked very, very well for skin cancers and stuff like that, so they’re trying it on him. He’s like a trial patient. “It’s a non-invasive treatment. [teamrock.com]
Then my dr gave us a "fish mask" (because it is painted to look like a fish) that he is suppose to wear when given the treatments. My baby hated the mask and to be honest I just used the regular tube to blow the treatments into his face. [mamapedia.com]

Prognosis Many children will wheeze early in life (about 30% of those aged under 3 years) in response to respiratory tract infections but most appear to grow out of it by the time they go to school [ 15 ]. [patient.info]
Etiology
Succinylcholine-induced anaphylaxis was the most likely etiology, because neuromuscular blocking agents are the most frequent agents involved in perioperative anaphylaxis in adults. 1,5 Skin testing remained negative in response to propofol, sufentanil [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology [ 1 ] Undoubtedly, asthma is a very common condition and, according to Asthma UK [ 2 ] : 5.4 million people in the UK receive treatment for asthma: 1 in 11 children and 1 in 12 adults. [patient.info]
Epidemiology of Perioperative Bronchospasm. The occurrence of perioperative bronchospasm has been reported in up to 9% of asthmatic patients given general anesthesia, mainly after endotracheal tube insertion. 17 Smoking also represents a major risk. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiologic mechanisms involved during perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reaction according to the onset of bronchospasm when compared with endotracheal tube insertion. Fig. 1. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
Causes & Pathophysiology of Bronchospasm As mentioned previously, there are 3 main factors which cause Bronchospasm which include inflammation in the airways, spasm of the smooth muscles and excessive production of mucus. [epainassist.com]
The pathophysiology of asthma generally includes, but is not limited to: (1) bronchial spasm and/or constriction of smooth muscle tissue due to a reduced production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) resulting in a reduction of airways diameter; [chiro.org]
Prevention
Preventers There are several different classes of medication used to treat bronchial spasms. The first is preventers. Mast cell stabilizers such as cromolyn sodium fall into this category. Mast cell stabilizers prevent and reduce allergy symptoms. [ehow.com]
Lesson #5: Treating your asthma with medicines: The preventers We have all come to accept the importance of prevention of tooth decay, and we apply toothpaste to our teeth once or twice daily. [asthma.partners.org]
This suggests that quitting smoking is critical in preventing bronchial spasms. 7. [zoomhealth.net]
The most common reason people use an albuterol is to prevent a bronchial spasm attack during exercise or daily physical activities. [bewellinstitute.org]
