Prior to and immediately post CPET, lung function measures including Nitrogen Multiple Breath Washout (MBW) and spirometry were performed. Results: There were no significant between group differences in pre CPET lung function (P > 0.05) or maximal exercise capacity (VO2max CPAM: 39.4mL·kg-1·min-1, Control: 40.5mL·kg-1·min-1). Post CPET, FEV₁ was significantly lower in the CPAM group, with two participants diagnosed subsequently with exercise induced bronchospasm based on post-CPET spirometry and follow-up clinical investigations. Conclusion: Early life lung resection for CPAM does not appear to have negative implications for exercise capacity later in childhood. Clinicians should be aware that dyspnoea following exercise may be due to asthma rather than residual effects of CPAM in these children.]]> Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:01:44 AEDT ]]>
