Arterial Po2

1. Almitrine at a low dose of 100 mg orally significantly raises Pao2 and lowers Paco2 in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, compared with placebo, when they were breathing air or 28% oxygen. 2. The estimated ideal alveolar — arterial Po2 difference was less after almitrine compared with placebo, when patients were breathing either air or 28% oxygen. 3. After almitrine overall ventilation breathing air increased by 10% but this did not reach statistical significance. During 28% oxygen breathing almitrine hardly altered overall ventilation but the inspiratory duty cycle (Ti/Ttot.) decreased and mean inspiratory flow rate (VT/Ti) increased compared with placebo. These changes were significant on a paired t-test (P<0.05). 4. Changes in both volume and pattern of breathing may explain the improved gas exchange in the lung after almitrine.

Significant Health

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a significant health problem. However, a large proportion of cases remain undiagnosed. Early diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease leads to earlier treatment initiation, and in consequence, to improvement of patients quality of life. The gold standard for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease diagnosis is spirometry and the presence of irreversible obstruction after a bronchodilator. One of the most important interventions in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is anti-smoking education. The main group of drugs used in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treatment are the long-acting bronchodilators.
