The aim of the work is to assess the impairment of the functional state of the respiratory system in adolescents suffering from bronchial asthma. The study involved 38 adolescents aged 13–14 years suffering from at least 5 years of moderate bronchial asthma without signs of respiratory failure. At the time of the examination, the disease in the examined adolescents was in a state of unstable remission. The control group consisted of 20 adolescents of the same age, clinically completely healthy. For adolescents with asthma is characterized by a decrease in lung capacity and bronchial diameter of any caliber. This inevitably leads even in adolescents suffering from at least 5 years of bronchial asthma, to a marked decrease in the functional capabilities of the respiratory apparatus. It became clear that early in this disease, resistance of the respiratory center to hypoxia and weakening of the adaptive capacity of the entire respiratory system occurs. In adolescents with bronchial asthma, all the identified disorders lead to an increase in the functional weakness of their respiratory and circulatory systems, and, consequently, they form a low resistance to hypoxia even at a young age.
