Exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) is a problem encountered by many people, and although it can be controlled, it is often overlooked or attributed to deconditioning. Children and elite athletes tend to have an increased incidence of EIB, but this condition is also encountered in others. Unfortunately, many who must deal with this disease tend to limit the level of exercise that provokes symptoms or avoid exercise altogether. EIB can occur alone or in association with underlying asthma. This article discusses EIB, its management, and strategies for nurses when caring for patients with EIB.
