title: [Fenoterol in chronic obstructive bronchitis--comparison of the efficacy of various application forms. Advantages and disadvantages of metered dose inhalers with a small or large expander and a mechanical atomizer].
abstract: After an initial inhalation of 1,25 mg fenoterol in 2 ml 0,9% NaCl by means of Pari Privat randomized on the following two days, two groups of ten respectively eleven patients with relatively stable respiratory tract obstruction were tested for the reversibility of the obstruction with a metered dose inhaler as follows: Group 1 (10 patients) received the metered dose inhaler with a small expander alternatively on even days and on the odd days without the expander. Group 2 (11 patients) received the metered dose inhaler with the large expander (130 mm X 35 mm) alternatively on the even days and with the small expander (100 mm X 30 mm) on the odd days. All patients showed a significant improvement of the bronchial obstruction regardless of the type of inhalation. Auxiliary appliances (inhalation appliances, expanders for the metered dose inhaler) are therefore only necessary, when the patients cannot cope at all or cannot cope optimally with the simple metered dose aerosol.
