The purpose is to characterize the change of respiratory admittance induced by salbutamol inhalation in children and young adults. A variation threshold will be fixed to distinguish asthmatic and healthy subjects.
This project could allow a better identification of asthmatic individuals needing a treatment, a reduction of morbidity of asthma, a reduction of unnecessary treatments administered in individuals with respiratory but not asthmatic symptoms, a better comprehension of bronchial hyperreactivity and its role in asthmatic disease.

Experimental: Asthma child |
Drug: Salbutamol
bronchodilation obtained with 2 inhalations of salbutamol (100 µg per dose) with inhalation chamber
Other Name: Ventoline Procedure: Forced oscillation technique before and after bronchodilation Procedure: Plethysmography |
Experimental: Control adult |
Drug: Salbutamol
bronchodilation obtained with 2 inhalations of salbutamol (100 µg per dose) with inhalation chamber
Other Name: Ventoline Procedure: Forced oscillation technique before and after bronchodilation Procedure: Plethysmography |
Experimental: Control child |
Drug: Salbutamol
bronchodilation obtained with 2 inhalations of salbutamol (100 µg per dose) with inhalation chamber
Other Name: Ventoline Procedure: Forced oscillation technique before and after bronchodilation Procedure: Plethysmography |
- Ventilatory mechanical impedance [ Time Frame: day 0 ]Measured with Forced oscillation technique. 2 measures at basal status at 10 min interval for reproducibility and after 10 min broncodilation with salbutamol
- Thoracic gas volume [ Time Frame: day 0 ]Measured with Plethysmography.
