Effect of twice daily inhaled albuterol on cardiopulmonary exercise outcomes, dynamic hyperinflation, and symptoms in secondhand tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry and air trapping: a randomized controlled trial

Effect of twice daily inhaled albuterol on cardiopulmonary exercise outcomes, dynamic hyperinflation, and symptoms in secondhand tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry and air trapping: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background In tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry (active smoking or secondhand smoke [SHS] exposure), air trapping can identify a subset with worse symptoms and exercise capacity. The physiologic nature of air trapping in the absence of spirometric airflow obstruction remains...
