Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions about bronchoprovocation tests:
-
Why are you recommending that I undergo a bronchoprovocation test?
-
Can you explain the test to me in detail?
-
Are there special steps I should take on the day of the test?
-
How long will the bronchoprovocation test take? Where will I have to go for the test?
-
Will I need someone to accompany me to the test, or to drive me home after the test?
-
Will I be able to resume my normal activities after testing?
-
What risks do I face by undergoing this test?
-
What will happen if I have a reaction during the test?
-
When will I receive the results of my bronchoprovocation test? Who will explain them to me?
-
How accurate is this test? Can I trust the results?
-
What will be the next step if my results indicate asthma?
