  2. Buteyko method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buteyko_method

    Buteyko practice emphasizes relaxation to counter asthma attacks. The first feeling of an asthma attack is unsettling and can result in a short period of rapid breathing. Buteyko method claims that by controlling this initial over-breathing phase, asthmatics can prevent a "vicious circle of over-breathing" from developing and spiraling into an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pursed-lip_breathing

    It can be used effectively during asthma attacks to slow breathing and reduce the work of breathing. [1] Physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and respiratory therapists teach this technique to their patients to ease shortness of breath and to promote deep breathing, also referred to as abdominal or diaphragmatic ...

    This reduces the partial pressure of oxygen entering the alveoli to 5.8 kPa (or 21% of [33.7 kPa – 6.3 kPa] = 5.8 kPa). The reduction in the partial pressure of oxygen in the inhaled air is therefore substantially greater than the reduction of the total atmospheric pressure at altitude would suggest (on Mt Everest: 5.8 kPa vs. 7.1 kPa).

    2 from the anesthesia breathing circuit and ventilator. The shape of the curve is affected by some forms of lung disease; in general there are obstructive conditions such as bronchitis, emphysema and asthma, in which the mixing of gases within the lung is affected. [20]

    to assess of impairment from occupational asthma [8] to identify those at risk from pulmonary barotrauma while scuba diving [8] to conduct pre-operative risk assessment before anaesthesia or cardiothoracic surgery [8] to measure response to treatment of conditions which spirometry detects [8] to diagnose the vocal cord dysfunction.

  7. Anti-asthmatic agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-asthmatic_agent

    An anti-asthmatic agent, also known as an anti-asthma drug, refers to a drug that can aid in airway smooth muscle dilation to allow normal breathing during an asthma attack or reduce inflammation on the airway to decrease airway resistance for asthmatic patients, or both. The goal of asthmatic agents is to reduce asthma exacerbation frequencies ...
