Implication

Albuterol may enhance alveolar function in health; leaves open relevance to edema or clinical populations.

Structured PICO

Does nebulized albuterol improve alveolar-capillary membrane conductance in healthy humans?

Population

45 healthy subjects. 17 subjects repeated measures following nebulized normal saline. Mean age 27 ± 9 years, BMI 26 ± 9 kg/m2.

Intervention

Nebulized albuterol (2.5 mg, diluted in 3 mL normal saline)

Comparator

Nebulized normal saline

Outcome

Alveolar-capillary membrane conductance (DM) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (VC) at 30 and 60 minutessurrogate

Nebulized albuterol improves pulmonary function and alveolar-capillary membrane conductance when accounting for changes in pulmonary capillary blood volume in healthy humans.
