In a two-year randomized controlled study, we studied the effects of bronchodilator treatment
on the lung function and the quality of life in patients with mild airflow obstruction. The …

We evaluated factors that might influence the course of lung function after 2 to 21 yr of follow-
up in 81 nonallergic patients with chronic air-flow obstruction (CAO) and considerable lung …

We conducted a trial of inhaled salbutamol and orally administered theophylline in patients
whose acute response to inhaled salbutamol was less than 25% of their baseline FEV1 …

A long-term (14-18 yr) prognostic study on patients with severe Chronic Airflow Obstruction
(CAO)(FEV1 less than 1000 ml) is reported. In 65 of the 79 patients under study at least 7 …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the mechanisms through which two bronchodilators (theophylline
and salbutamol) influence dyspnea during daily activities. METHODS: Twenty-four patients …

Objective: To determine the increase in FEV 1 associated with increasing doses of inhaled
terbutaline and salbutamol, the reproducibility of the increase in FEV 1, and the …

In a former study in patients with severe chronic airflow obstruction (CAO),(forced expiratory
volume in one second (FEV1) ranging from 350-910 ml), we concluded that daily oral …

Spirometry before and after an inhaled beta agonist or a course of oral prednisolone is
widely used to detect reversible airflow limitation in patients with chronic obstructive lung …

• We conducted a four-period cross-over randomized trial in which we found that patients
with chronic airflow limitation demonstrated symptomatic improvement with both inhaled …
