Inhibitory effect of procaterol on exercise dynamic lung hyperinflation during the 6-min walk test in stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of procaterol (procaterol hydrochloride, CAS 62929-91-3) on exercise dynamic lung hyperinflation during the 6-min walk test (6MWT) in stable chronic obstructive disease (COPD) patients. Fourteen patients with stable COPD who were referred to our clinic between July 2008 and October 2009 were evaluated in this study. After the inhalation of procaterol, values for the lung function test, including vital capacity, inspiratory capacity, forced vital c… Show more

“…These range from 20 to 42 m with short-acting ÎČ 2 -agonists [60,246], from 6 to 39 m with short-acting anticholinergics [60,247], from 21 to 54 m with long-acting ÎČ 2 -agonists [239,248,249] and ∌10 m with long-acting anticholinergics [250].…”

“…The overall conclusion is that the 6MWT has a low responsiveness in this setting since most of the studies reported improvement in 6MWD that are well below the MID value for this intervention, ranging from 20 to 42 m with short-acting ÎČ 2 -agonist [6, 70, 71], from 6 to 39 metres with short-acting anticholinergics [6, 23], from 21 to 54 metres with long-acting ÎČ 2 -agonist [72–74] and around 10 m with long-acting anticholinergics [75]. The lack of responsiveness of the 6MWT could be due to the presence of a ceiling effect with this test.…”
