The prophylactic means and general modes in the treatment of the bronchitic syndrome in geriatric patients are outlined. The therapy is discussed with respect to the use of broncholytics, secretolytics and steroids on the basics of a detailed lung function test. The altered health condition of the geriatric patient needs an intensive and detailed therapy program and must include limitations caused by the old age.
The cumulation of exogenic factors on the basis of an endogenic disposition and the addition of physiologic aging processes cause an increase of the "bronchitic syndrome" in old age. Heart insufficiency, tuberculosis, lung embolism and bronchial carcinoma are the important differential diagnostic aspects in these patients. The structural and functional changes of the lung in old people and the polypathy, resp. multimorbidity of the whole organism cause the complications and disadvantageous interferences. The prognostic important disturbances of the ventilation mechanics are early recognizable with new diagnostic tools, particularly with the whole body plethysmography.
