title: [Bronchospasmolytic test].
abstract: Bronchodilation test using metered aerosols is a simple but extraordinary reliable method of respiratory functional diagnostics. It is highly sensitive (92%) and absolutely specific (100%) for demonstration of a pathologic elevated tonus of the bronchial musculature. The importance for the choice of therapy is limited. The main advantage concerns the diagnostic classification of the obstructive bronchopulmonary diseases.
