[Effectiveness of aerosol treatment with spasmolytic agents of obstructive bronchitis in infancy and early childhood].

In 64 children in the age of 3 months to 3 years with obstructive bronchitis the effectivity of aerosol treatment with orziprenalin and the combination of fenoterol with ipratropium bromide (Berodual) using ultrasonic nebulizer, the treatment with Berodual metered pressure aerosol, and the effectivity of the inhalation of physiological (isotonic) saline solution during acute respiratory virus infection has been compared. The effectivity was evaluated by clinical observation and on the base of the determination of capnographic and oxymetric values. Compared to the controls (inhalation of saline), a very high effectivity of all 3 bronchospasmolytic formulations has been observed. The ease of the use of the Berodual metered pressure aerosol is stressed.
