Acute effects of aerosolized metaproterenol on breathing pattern of patients with symptomatic bronchial asthma.
Author: BirchS, JenouriG, SacknerM A, TobinM J
Original Abstract of the Article :
We studied the effect of two sequential puffs of metaproterenol (650 micrograms each puff) delivered with an auxiliary aerosol delivery system on the breathing pattern of patients with symptomatic bronchial asthma who were monitored noninvasively with respiratory inductive plethysmography.

Metaproterenol: A Breath of Relief for Asthma Sufferers
Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can cause significant breathing difficulties. This study investigates the acute effects of aerosolized metaproterenol, a bronchodilator, on the breathing pattern of patients with symptomatic bronchial asthma. It's like understanding how a desert wind can affect the delicate balance of a sand dune, influencing the flow of air and the movement of particles.
Metaproterenol: A Temporary Oasis in the Desert of Asthma
The study shows that metaproterenol can effectively improve lung function in patients with asthma, but it does not appear to significantly alter respiratory center drive. It's like finding a temporary oasis in the desert, providing relief from the heat and thirst, but not permanently changing the surrounding landscape.
Finding the Right Treatment for Asthma
This study highlights the need for understanding the complex mechanisms underlying asthma and finding targeted treatments that address the specific needs of individual patients. It's like searching for the right type of plant to grow in the desert, considering the unique conditions and requirements of the environment.
Dr.Camel's Conclusion
This study provides valuable insights into the effects of metaproterenol on the breathing pattern of patients with asthma. It's like observing how a desert wind can shift the sand dunes, creating temporary changes in the landscape. While metaproterenol can offer temporary relief, it's crucial to continue researching and developing effective treatments that address the root causes of asthma and provide long-term solutions for those living with this condition.
