Reversibility of Methacholine Induced Bronchoconstriction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study will compare salbutamol reversibility of methacholine induced bronchoconstriction between a pressurized metered dose inhaler with a spacer versus nebulizer administration using a vibrating mesh nebulizer.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: salbutamol delivered via pressurized metered dose inhaler 200mcg of salbutamol will be delivered using a pressurized metered dose inhaler plus spacer |
Drug: salbutamol pressurized metered dose inhaler
administration of 200microliters of salbutamol to reverse methacholine induced bronchoconstriction using a pressurized metered dose inhaler plus spacer
|
Placebo Comparator: placebo normal saline will be administered with a vibrating mesh nebulizer and 200mcg of placebo will be administered using a pressurized metered dose inhaler plus spacer |
Other: placebo
matching placebo delivered via pressurized metered dose inhaler plus spacer or normal saline via vibrating mesh nebulizer
|
Experimental: salbutamol delivered with vibrating mesh nebulizer 200microliters of salbutamol will be administered using a vibrating mesh nebulizer |
Drug: salbutamol aqueous solution
administration of 200microliters of salbutamol to reverse methacholine induced bronchoconstriction using a vibrating mesh nebulizer

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Lung function recovery [up to 60 minutes post salbutamol administration]
Maximal recovery in FEV1 and FVC (absolute volume and percent)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to lung function recovery [0-60 minutes]
Area under the curve from start of salbutamol administration to time at which maximal recovery occurs
- Heart rate [0-60 minutes]
change in pulse after salbutamol administration
