Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the climatic impact on the level of exhaled NO in children with asthma and atopic disease who were treated at the department of pediatrics of the Special Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation Thalassotherapy Crikvenica. We wanted to demonstrate a positive effect on reducing the climatic NO.The work comprises sixty-nine children who stayed hospitalized for a period of fourteen or twenty-one days.The level of exhaled NO was measured at the beginning and end of treatment. To conduct these measurements we used coffee Analyzer CLD 88 Eco Swiss company medics.During the period of five months we have collected data regarding the level of exhaled nitric oxide. We treated 69 patients suffering from asthma.The patients were children from the ages of 9-18 years.We measured exhaled NO at the beginning and the end of the stay in our department. In data processing, we have taken only patients with elevated NO at baseline, and our goal was to determine whether it will be less and normal at the end of treatment. After conducting the climatic treatment,we obtained the following results: 43,48% of the children was measured above the 70ppb NO. In group 3,NO of 30-70ppb in the beginning of treatment was also 44.93% of patients. Slightly elevated NO 20 - 30ppb had 11.59% of children on admission to treatment.

At the end of the treatment we received the following results: of 69 patients, as many as 55.07% had a NO in normal, and a high of 1.45% of patients.All this leads to the conclusion that climatic therapy in our hospital has a positive effect in decrease exhaled nitric oxide, which also directly has beneficial effect on the underlying disease itself.
