Brief Summary

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent and reversible episodes of airway obstruction. Drug treatment usually includes inhaled corticosteroids and bronchial dilators, which often do not have adequate adherence. These acute episodes of bronchoconstriction can most often occur with hyperinflation and for decades the mechanisms that lead to hyperinflation have been studied, as well as increasingly modern ways of evaluating and treating these mechanisms. Noninvasive ventilation is increasingly occupying its space as a non-pharmacological resource in the treatment of asthma, initially as an adjunct in an attempt to help medication have its effect reached in the crisis, but this feature has been showing signs of having an even greater action which can even collaborate in reversing the crisis by not only giving time for pharmacological action. Recognizing these potential effects of this widely used resource and understanding its action on lung function and the reversal of exacerbation is part of this scientific process.

    Change from baseline FEV1 at 1 hour

  • Expiratory time

    Optoeletronic Plethismography

    Change from baseline expiratory time at 1 hour

  • Inspiratory Capacity

    Spirometry

    Change from baseline IC at 1 hour

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Minute Volume

    Change from baseline minute volume at 1 hour

Study Arms (2)

Bilevel

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Bilevel 10 minutes after bronchoprovocation with saline solution 4.5%. IPAP 12 and EPAP 8

Device: Bilevel

Albuterol

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

400micrograms after bronchoprovocation with saline solution 4.5%.

Drug: Albuterol

Interventions

BilevelDEVICE

Basal respiratory mechanics in spontaneous breathing will be analyzed by optoeletronic plethismography (OEP), followed by bronchial provocation with hypertonic saline solution 4.5%, another 45-second OEP uptake, IPAP 12 and EPAP 8 bilevel applied for 10 minutes, and a new uptake. All abstractions are preceded by a forced and slow spirometry maneuver. The entire procedure takes 1 hour.
