More than 400,000 sauna baths have been built in Germany. Frequently, children with bronchial asthma and their parents raise the question whether sauna bathing might be hazardous for the lungs. In present study the effects of sauna bathing on the ventilation have been evaluated by use of peak-flow meters. Only one 12-years old girl suffered an attack of bronchial asthma while using a cold shower, probably as a result of breathing cold air. No other complications have been observed. Sauna bathing can be recommended for children with bronchial asthma, since advantages in the resistance against infections and in psychosocial development can be expected.
德国已建造了超过40万间桑拿浴室。患有支气管哮喘的儿童及其父母经常会问桑拿浴是否可能对肺部有害。在本研究中，已使用峰值流量计评估了桑拿浴对通气的影响。只有一名12岁的女孩在使用冷水淋浴时哮喘发作，可能是吸入冷空气所致。未观察到其他并发症。对于患有支气管哮喘的儿童，可以推荐进行桑拿浴，因为有望在抗感染能力和心理社会发展方面带来益处。
