BREATHE AND HEAR BETTER

INHALATION TREATMENTS, LUNG VENTILATION AND TREATMENT OF RHINOGENIC DEAFNESS
The particular concentration of sulfur and trace elements in our sulphurous salsobromoiodic thermal water makes inhalation treatments and pulmonary ventilation therapies indicated for the treatment of respiratory diseases both ENT (sinusitis, rhinitis, pharyngolaryngitis) and bronchopneumological (bronchiectasis, bronchitis and asthmatic bronchitis). Thanks to their effectiveness in defending and improving the breath they are excellent for the prevention of even the main disorders of the upper airways such as stuffy nose and hoarse voice.

Terme di Sirmione has always been at the forefront also in the research for treatments for ear diseases, such as frequent otitis and tubal catarrh. Since 1948, one of the first departments in Europe dedicated to the treatment of rhinogenic deafness (poltzer and tubal insufflations) has been in operation, effective in naturally releasing accumulations of tubal phlegm in the ear.

Using various techniques, with these treatments both the thermal water broken into very fine particles and the hydrogen sulphide naturally contained in it are introduced into the upper airways and respiratory system.
The devices for inhalation therapy are in fact based on the principle of breaking the thermal water into very small particles, by means of a jet of compressed air or steam under pressure.
According to their size, the particles are able to reach different levels of depth:
  • Particles with a diameter greater than 10 µ stop at the level of the upper airways (nose, larynx and pharynx);
  • Particles with a diameter between 10 and 3 µ can reach the level of the trachea and bronchi;
  • Particles smaller than 3 µ can reach the bronchiolar branches and the alveolar wall.
Patients who undergo a cycle of inhalation treatments, also combined with pulmonary ventilation or treatments for rhinogenic deafness, undergo several applications per day (from 2 to 5, based on the prescription of the spa doctor), with an interval of about 10 minutes between each cure.
