Interventions

PROCEDURE

patients

The 16-electrode belt will be applied to patient's chest. Following vital signs will be recorded: respiratory rate at rest breathing, heart rate, transcutaneous oxygen saturation. Then impulse oscillometry (IOS) will be performed in a sitting position. After that, subjects with cooperation willingness will get a body plethysmography. A spirometry / forced breathing maneuvers will be performed. All patients will receive 2 strokes salbutamol inhaler for bronchospasmolysis. Please note that inhalation of salbutamol is not study related. It is used in the clinical routine to examine the reversibility of the bronchial obstruction in patients with obstructive lung disease in course of the lung function test. Ten minutes later measurements described above will be repeated.

PROCEDURE

probands

Probands will receive the same treatment as patients, but without bronchospasmolysis.
