Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Lung deposition

    Lung deposition of the albuterol-containing aerosol

    1 hour

  • Pulmonary functions

    Pulmonary function tests by spirometry

    1 hour

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Dyspnea

    1 hour

Study Arms (2)

Pulsehaler

EXPERIMENTAL

Fully operational Pulsehaler, with protocol enabled

Device: PulsehalerDrug: Nebulizer & Albuterol 0.5ml

Nebulizer

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Deactivated Pulsehaler (protocol disabled), so only the nebulizer is active

Drug: Nebulizer & Albuterol 0.5ml

Interventions

Pulsehaler

Albuterol aerosolized by a nebulizer

NebulizerPulsehaler
