Peculiarities of mucociliary transport investigation in patients with chronic broncho­pulmonary pathology (radionuclide method modification)

Abstract

In patients with a long history of broncho-pulmonary pathology a non-marked cough often takes place providing nearly normal parameters of mucociliary transport (MCT). The proposed radionuclide method modification using the central antitussive drug «Tusuprex» allows to exclude compensatory cough during the investigation period, thus obtaining significant MCT parameters.
