Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the bronchodilator response of salbutamol on respiratory mechanics of healthy individuals, smokers and COPD with varying degrees of airway obstruction.

Clinical Details

Official title: Effect of the Use of Salbutamol on the Mechanical Properties of the Respiratory System of Healthy Individuals, Smokers and COPD Patients

Study design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Basic Science

Primary outcome: Respiratory function test

Secondary outcome: Salbutamol

Detailed description: Clinical evaluation will be conducted and anthropometric measurements, then the pulmonary function tests: forced oscillation technique (FOT), whole body plethysmography, spirometry and-administration of salbutamol aerosol for assessment of bronchodilator response. After 20 minutes, the individual will be evaluated again following the same sequence.
