[Efficacy of the inhalation of warm mineral water from Moravci well MT-6 in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease].

Abstract

In 20 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the effects of inhalation of Bisolvon (BS) were compared with the inhalations of thermomineral water of the well MT.6 of thermal spring Moravci (TMW). It was found that mean maximal expiratory flow during inhalations of TMW was statistically significantly higher from that during inhalation of BS (P less than 0.05). By visually-analogous scale the patients during inhalations of TMW were found to have statistically smaller dyspnea (P less than 0.001) and after inhalation of TMW they could expectorate much better (P less than 0.01) in comparison with the period of inhalations with BS. The authors consider the inhalations of TMW to be a good method of therapy of patients with COPD.
