Bronchial provocation tests have become a standard procedure to establish the diagnosis of asthma when symptoms are current but spirometry is normal. A simple, reproducible and widely used method for measuring airway responsiveness is continuous aerosol generation and tidal breathing inhalation. This paper presents the method, the apparatus built-up in our lung function office, reproducibility of aerosol production, and expression of results. With our set-up we are able to perform technically well regulated challenge. It has the advantages of relative simplicity in terms of equipment needed, short distance and no obstacles between nebulizer and mouthpiece. Our specially conceived computer programme is easy to handle, allows comparison and recalculation of data. Variations of nebulizers' output needs a carefully individual evaluation before use to allow reproducibility.
当有当前症状但肺量计检查正常时，支气管激发试验已成为诊断哮喘的标准程序。一种简单、可重复且广泛使用的测量气道反应性的方法是持续雾化剂生成和潮气呼吸吸入。本文介绍了该方法、我们肺功能室构建的仪器、雾化剂产生的可重复性以及结果的表达。通过我们的设置，我们能够在技术上进行良好规范的激发试验。它在所需设备方面相对简单，雾化器与咬嘴之间距离短且无障碍物，具有这些优点。我们专门设计的计算机程序易于操作，允许对数据进行比较和重新计算。雾化器输出的变化在使用前需要仔细进行个体评估以确保可重复性。
