The influence of sauna on pulmonary functioning in patients with an obstructive pulmonary disease was studied in 12 male patients by measuring forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second on seven measure points the day of the sauna program. Despite the fact that body cooling and changes in osmolality of bronchial liquid can induce bronchoconstriction, we measured a significant improvement of the lung function parameters: FVC values were 3.22 +/- 0.89 and 3.6 +/- 0.99 before and after the sauna program, respectively. It is concluded that patients with an obstructive pulmonary disease can take part in sauna programs without eliciting bronchoconstriction; sauna even causes transient improvement of the lung function.
通过在桑拿项目当天的七个测量点测量12名男性阻塞性肺疾病患者的用力肺活量（FVC）和一秒用力呼气量，研究了桑拿对这些患者肺功能的影响。尽管身体降温以及支气管液渗透压的变化可诱发支气管收缩，但我们测量到肺功能参数有显著改善：桑拿项目前后FVC值分别为3.22±0.89和3.6±0.99。得出的结论是，阻塞性肺疾病患者可以参加桑拿项目而不会引发支气管收缩；桑拿甚至会使肺功能得到短暂改善。
