Ipratropium bromide and airways function in wheezy infants.

Ipratropium bromide and airways function in wheezy infants.

The airway response to nebulised ipratropium bromide was studied in 17 chronically or recurrently wheezy infants aged 4-15 months. The peripheral airway response was assessed by the change in maximum flow at functional residual capacity (Vmax FRC) and the upper and central airway response by the change in specific airways resistance. The significant reduction in specific airways resistance afte...

Bronchodilator effect of inhaled ipratropium bromide in wheezy toddlers.

smoking mothers are thinner and their babies are thinner too, but even accepting the limitations of correction for this effect, the growth-retarding effect of smoking on the fetus is hardly affected by this correction. A similar conclusion was derived from Cardiff Birth Survey data, in a community study on smoking and pregnancy.8 We postulate from our data and from other data already reported, ...

Effect of ipratropium bromide on mucociliary clearance and pulmonary function in reversible airways obstruction.

The effects of (a) regular use for one week and (b) a single dose of a synthetic anticholinergic (ipratropium bromide) on lung mucociliary clearance and as a bronchodilator was ascertained in a controlled, double-blind, cross-over study in 12 patients with reversible airways obstruction (mean increase in FEV after isoprenaline: 17% range 10-50%). Two puffs from a metered dose inhaler of either ...

Effects of Inhaled Albuterol and Ipratropium Bromide

Study objective: Systemic administration of P-agonist and anticholinergic drugs markedly impair normal autonomic heart rate control. The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the effects of therapeutic doses of inhaled albuterol and ipratropium on autonomic control of the cardiovascular system. Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design study. Setting: Te...
