Peripheral nerve function in patients with chronic bronchitis receiving almitrine or placebo.
A double blind prospective study of the effect of almitrine bismesylate and placebo on peripheral-nerve function was carried out in 12 patients with chronic bronchitis and arterial hypoxaemia (mean (SD) FEV1% predicted 38 (16), arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) 7.56 (0.76) kPa). Of the seven patients who took placebo, none developed symptoms or signs of peripheral neuropathy. One patient who had a...
متن کاملTwo years treatment with almitrine bismesylate in patients with hypoxic chronic obstructive airways disease.
Eighty nine patients with hypoxic chronic obstructive airways disease (COAD) were enrolled into the 1 year Vectarion International Multicentre Study-VIMS in 4 centres, Sheffield (UK), and Antwerp, Liege and Namur (Belgium). At the end of the year the remainder were invited to continue taking placebo or almitrine bismesylate (100-200 mg daily) in the same double blind manner for a further 12 mon...
متن کاملPharmacological Treatment of Hypoxemia during One-lung Ventilation.
To the Editor: We read with great interest the Case Scenario on hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) reported by Rozé et al., and we would like to add some comments on pharmacological treatment. First, the title of the section, “Pharmacological treatment to limit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction,” could, in our opinion, lead to confusion. Almitrine does not limit hypoxic pulmonary vaso...
متن کاملElectromyographic Evaluation of Peripheral Nerves in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is the most important risk factor in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cigarette smoking may also have some neurotoxic effects. Hypoxemia in COPD patients is thought to have negative effects on the peripheral nervous system as well as on many other organs. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) has also been reported in patients taking almitrine for COPD, indicating t...
متن کاملThe effect of almitrine on the steady-state ventilatory response to carbon dioxide at rest and during exercise in man.
Almitrine has potential as a tool for testing the physiological role of the peripheral chemoreceptor. The effects of almitrine on CO2 chemosensitivity were studied at rest and during light exercise using a constant inflow technique that avoids the hyperoxia of rebreathing methods. The steady-state ventilatory response to CO2 was measured in two groups of six normal men before and 150 min after ...
