Dysfunctional Breathing in Difficult Asthma.

NCT00716677 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2013-01-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We plan to use the Life Shirt to record tidal volume, respiratory rate and breathing pattern over a 6 hour period in patients admitted with difficult asthma. The Life Shirt will also be used to collect the same data over the same time period in a group of healthy controls. This data will then be correlated with the assessment of the supervising consultant as to whether the patient has any element of dysfunctional breathing contributing to their symptoms. It is hoped that the data obtained may in future be used to offer treatment to those patients with dysfunctional breathing.
