Changes of capacity for physical work in patients with bronchial asthma treated with Theopaec
Abstract
The impact of a preparation belonging to sustained release theophyllines upon capacity for physical work was studied in 13 patients with mild and moderate bronchial asthma. The patients recieved Theopaec during 4 weeks. Their clinical condition was evaluated through the dynamics of flow-volume curve values and body plethysmography. Ergospirometry was performed before and after treatment. Capacity for physical work was determined by maximal levels of oxygen consumption and the amount of work performed. Anaerobic thresh old , oxygen pulse, maximal ventilation per minute, an drespiratory rate were also analysed.
It has been shown, that Theopaec in creased capacity for physical work and anaerobic threshold in bronchial asthma patients. A trend to a significant raise in ergospirometrical values has been observed in the group of patients with initially low lung function parameters, as in those cases Theopaec had several influence points.
