    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Asthma bronchiale and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterized by increased airway resistance.
    • Current treatments may not fully alleviate symptoms for all patients.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the effects of nitroglycerin on airway resistance in patients with obstructive airway diseases.
    • To compare nitroglycerin's efficacy with inhaled fenoterol.

    Summary:

    • Sublingual nitroglycerin (0.8 mg) reduced airway resistance by up to 21% in asthma and COPD patients, with sustained effects for one hour.
    • Intravenous nitroglycerin (2.5 mg/h) also significantly decreased airway resistance (-23%) and improved lung volumes.
    • Fenoterol (0.4 mg inhaled) demonstrated a stronger bronchodilator effect (-30%) compared to sublingual nitroglycerin.

    Impact:

    • Nitroglycerin may offer a therapeutic benefit for patients suffering from obstructive airway diseases.
    • Further research could explore optimal nitroglycerin dosing and administration routes for respiratory conditions.
