ABSTRACT
Background:
Asthma is a chronic disease. Its characteristic is a chronic process of infection on respiratory leading to obstructed respiratory airway. In order to evaluate the obstructed respiratory disorder on asthma children, there are many various methods in which two methods are been applied widely measure respiratory function and measure the resistance of respiratory airway.Objectives:
This study aims to learn aboutthe respiratory airway resistance of asthmatic children from 6 to 10 years old at Respiratory Department of Saint-Paul hospital. Subjects andmethod:
A retrospective, cross sectional and descriptive study was conducted on 135 children with asthma hospitalized at the Pulmonary Division at the Hospital Saint - Paul from January to October 2006.Results:
- Value through thoracic pulmonary resistance in children asthmaticsThe average resistance of the respiratory tract had inspiration 7.31 \xb1 2.14 hPa.s L -1 . The average resistance of the respiratory tract had expiration 8.30 \xb1 2.42 hPa.s L -1. There was no significant difference in the resistance of the respiratory tract between boy and girl children.Conclusion:
Thoracic pulmonary resistance decreased with age from 6 to 10 years. After the inspiration of Ventolin, resistance of the respiratory tract decreased of 22.2% in the inspiration and 17.5 in expiration. The difference was significant.
