Impulse oscillometry for leukotriene D4 inhalation challenge in asthma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:During high-flow oxygen therapy, heated humidified gas is delivered at high flow. Although the warmth and humidity of this gas facilitates mucociliary function in the lower airway, warm and humid conditions also promote bacterial growth. Bacterial contamination of high-flow oxygen therapy circuits has not be...
