Pulmonary Function TestingSESSION TYPE: Slide PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 04:15 PM - 05:15 PMPURPOSE: Exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and Methacholine challenge (MCH) are both utilized in the detection and management of numerous pulmonary diseases. MCH is a measure of direct airway hyperresponsiveness. FeNO measures bronchial epithelial damage from eosinophilic bronchitis whether asthma or non-asthma related. FeNO has an attractive performance profile, as it is a cheaper and less invasive test. We hypothesize that FeNO can decrease the need for MCH testing. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Andrew Nickels, Kenneth Parker, Paul Scanlon, Kaiser LimNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
