We modified the EIB protocol to collect metabolic and lung volume endpoints as obtained in a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). We tested the hypothesis that measuring metabolic data with the EIB protocol (EIB-CPET) would yield greater diagnostic information than the EIB protocol. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Exercise test diagnosis for healthy children with DOE referred to the pulmonary exercise lab from January 2011 through July 2023 were retrospectively compared between those performing either the EIB or EIB-CPET protocols. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> One hundred and twenty-seven patients with unexplained DOE were analyzed. Of the 72 patients tested on the EIB protocol, 49% had stridor and 5% with EIB. Of the 55 patients tested on the EIB-CPET protocol, 42% had stridor, 42% with normal physiologic limitation, 22% with dysfunctional breathing, 5% with deconditioning, 2% with EIB, and 2% with exercise-induced hypoxemia.
