Abstract :

COPD is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. COPD is a common preventable and treatable disease. This study is designed to compare onchodilator effect of inhaled Tioatropium compared with inhaled ipratropium omide. Aims & Objectives: 1] To study Pulmonary Function Test abnormalities in patient suffering from COPD. 2] To assess the reversibility of onchoconstriction after inhalation of ipratropium and inhaled tioatropium. 3] To study comparative response of reversibility oncho construction inhaled tioatropium with ipratropium omide. Material & Materials: Total 100 patients of COPD were evaluated for this study. In selected patients baseline spirometry was done with computerized spirometer. In 50 patients Tioatropium 18 microgram was given and another 50 patient 40 microgram Tioatropium Bromide was given. Result: Bronchodilator effect of Inhaled Tioatropium was found to be beneficial than Ipratropium in COPD patient. Discussion: Both Tioatropium and Ipratropium Bromide are significant in COPD patient. Conclusion: Inhaled Tioatropium is beneficial than inhaled Ipratropium in COPD Patient.
