The Influence of Ultrasonic Nebulization with Broncasma Berna on the Nasal Mucociliary Movement in Patients with Chronic Sinusitis

Abstract

Using an ultrasonic nebulizer, 6 ml of Broncasma Berna solution diluted 12-fold with saline was given intranasally at a single dose to 15 patients with chronic sinusitis two or three times a week over a period of 4 weeks, and the ciliary movement of the nasal mucosa before and after the treatment was measured. Ciliary movement was increased markedly in 7 patients, and slightly in 7 but was slightly decrease in 1.
Nebulization with Broncasma Berna was found to enhance nasal mucociliary move-ment.
