Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review available scientific reports on recurrent airway obstruction and inflammatory airway disease treatment efficacy. Critical evaluation of the quality and limitations of the evidence provided should provide equine practitioners with the tools to apply the latest scientific data to the management of individual clinical cases. While a large body of clinical research supports the efficacy of low-dust environmental management and corticosteroid administration in the treatment of recurrent airway obstruction, limited clinical trials exist to evaluate the treatment of inflammatory airway disease.
