[Combined use of talinolol and beta adrenergic stimulants in status asthmaticus. Report on 3 patients].

Experiences in combined use of beta-adrenergic stimulants and cardioselective beta-receptor blocker Talinolol are reported in 3 patients in Status Asthmaticus. High dose Aminophyllintreatment in these 3 severe cases was insufficient, in 1 case it had to be finished because of toxic side effects respectively. For adrenergic stimulation in two cases Orciprenalin i.v. was given initially, in one case Terbutalinsulfat i.v. By cardioselective adrenergic blockade with low dose Talinolol it became possible to prevent cardiotoxic side effects in preexisting tachycardia and premature ventricular contractions. This combination treatment was continued successfully with Terbutalin and Talinolol p.o.
