Service Providers for Broncho Provocation test
A Bronchoprovocation Test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate airway hyperresponsiveness, which is commonly seen in conditions like asthma. The test involves exposing the patient to a substance (such as methacholine, histamine, or cold air) that can cause narrowing of the airways. The patient inhales the substance, and their lung function is measured using spirometry before and after the exposure to monitor for any changes in airflow. If the patient experiences a significant reduction in lung function, it suggests increased airway sensitivity. The test helps diagnose asthma or assess its severity. It is generally safe, though mild coughing or shortness of breath may occur.
