title: [Use of a nebulizer as a new method of drug administration in treating dyspnea attacks in patients with bronchial asthma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To try nebulizer for delivery of berodual solution to cope with asphyxia attacks in bronchial asthma (BA) patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Nebulizer was used in 86 patients suffering from bronchial asthma (BA) of different severity treated with standard therapy. Berodual inhalations (1 ml solution) were performed by means of nebulizer Pari Boy. Heart rate, respiratory movements rate, peak flowmetry were evaluated before and after the inhalations.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One inhalation was enough for arrest of asphyxia in 70 patients (81.4%), two inhalations relieved the attack in 9 patients (10.46%), 7 patients (8.14%) needed intravenous infusion of euphylline solution for a complete attack arrest. Side effects were not registered.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Berodual solution inhalations via nebulizer proved clinically and cost effective.
