 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Cough patients aged methacholine bronchial provocation test and impact of adverse factors [Abstract] cough in elderly patients with methacholine bronchial provocation test and the incidence of adverse factors. Methods 35 cases of elderly patients with chronic cough in patients with bronchial provocation tests recorded the main side effects were described, and applied SPSS statistical software to analyze the test results with the excitation linear regression. methacholine challenge test results of the adverse reaction rate of 71.4%, mostly mild reactions. a variety of symptoms in the sensation of breathlessness (51.4%) and cough (48.6%), the largest number, followed by dry mouth, palpitation. Conclusions The occurrence of adverse reactions in patients with positive test results, level of excitation is not relevant. [Keywords:] bronchial provocation test; methacholine chloride; side effects; asthma Elderly patients with asthma determine the physiological and pathological features of the complexity of their clinical symptoms and not typical, combined with the patient often smokers, diagnosis particularly difficult. By measuring airway responsiveness in patients that bronchial provocation test (BPT), can to support or exclude the diagnosis of bronchial asthma provide strong objective evidence, and determine the condition of asthma, important to help assess the efficacy of (1). In the past common way to check is a graded inhaled histamine activator, and then several times in the lung function determination. Because this method requires good patient cooperation, and the histamine provocation test of serious adverse events are more common anti-(2,3), it is not easy for elderly patients to carry out. This article was inspired by methacholine challenge test agents to explore the challenge test the safety of elderly patients and tolerability. 1 Subjects and methods 1.1 The observation object January to August 2009 in our hospital cli
