Exercise-induced bronchospasms (EIBs) are transient constrictions of the airways resulting from exercise. They often occur after 10 to 15 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise. EIBs are a very prevalent phenomenon. They occur in about 12% of the US pediatric population. Within this population, 30% of them may develop asthma. With proper pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, the symptoms of EIB can be properly managed. The roles of nurses in the management of EIB include: providing education in relation to the pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, and assisting parents and patients in setting realistic goals for activity and medication. With proper interventions, EIB should not limit either participation or success in activities.
