The bronchodilator effect of an anticholinergic and beta-adrenergic drug in the same patient was tested at 3 different times to study the reproducibility. There is a good average reproducibility: the curves concerning the bronchodilation are nearly identical or parallel. On the other hand there is a greater difference in the individual curves at different times: the patients with the most severe airway obstruction show the greatest difference in the bronchodilator effect at different times.
