AbstractOur objective was to examine the changes in regional ventilation during histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in stable asthma. We measured regional ventilation by a new method which measures regional distribution of inhaled 127Xe during tidal breathing by a gated method and by simultaneously measuring 99mTc counts from labelled macroaggregates, allowed for changes in lung shape during the breathing cycle. We studied 10 asthmatic patients [forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 2.04-4.37 litres)] and measured, in addition to the regional ventilation, oxygen saturation (SaO2), minute ventilation (V(E)) and tidal volume (V(t)) before and after inhaling enough histamine to lower FEV1 by >20% and/or SaO2 by >4%. Histamine inhalation reduced FEV1 by 0.44-1.15 liters and SaO2 by 0-4%. It increased V(E) and functional residual capacity (FRC) in 8 of the 10 patients. The FEV1 fall did not correlate with the SaO2 fall, V(E) or FRC changes. Histamine inhalation increased apical ventilation in most patients but the changes in regional ventilation in the left and right lungs were asymmetrical in 17 out of the 30 lung regions studied (upper, middle and lower paired regions in 10 patients). These results demonstrate that histamine bronchial challenge causes uneven regional ventilation. 0Any resultant change in ventilation-perfusion balance may be the underlying mechanism of oxygen desaturation seen in this procedure and in spontaneous attacks of asthma.
