Cambios en la función muscular respiratoria y periférica en niños asmáticos: efectos de los corticoides inhalados

No evidence was found that continuous high doses of inhaled steroids lead to a deterioration in respiratory or peripheral muscle function in asthmatic children. On the other hand, signs were found of respiratory muscle adaptation to the long-term overload of persistent asthma. The so-called “training effect” seems to be limited only to the inspiratory muscles.
