Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percent Improvement in PtcO2 & PtcCO2
Sonic vibrations similar to human screaming should improve pulmonary gas diffusion by more than 5% in few seconds.
1 month
Secondary Outcomes (1)
mL/min exhaled VCO2 and VO2
1 month
Other Outcomes (1)
Percent improvement in lung diffusion capacity
1 month
Study Arms (1)
Sonic Gas Exchange
Gas exchange rates in the lungs of subjects breathing through a mouthpiece will be compared with their gas exchange rates after addition of sound pressure vibrations into the supplied gas. 'Induction of sound waves in lungs by "sonic oscillator"' can be as loud as a human screaming or singing very loudly (about 95 dB). The effects of these pressure oscillations on gas exchange will be assessed using 3 tests as explained in the section under "detailed description".
Interventions
A device called sonic oscillator will add sonic waves to the inhaled gases while the subjects are going through 3 tests measuring the variations made in pulmonary functions induced by sound waves.
Eligibility Criteria
