Cost-effectiveness of the Aerobika* oscillating positive expiratory pressure device in the management of COPD exacerbations
INTRODUCTION COPD places a huge clinical and economic burden on the US health care system, with acute exacerbations representing a key driver of direct medical costs. Current treatments, although effective in reducing symptoms and limiting exacerbations, do not adequately target the underlying disease processes that drive exacerbation development. The Aerobika* oscillating positive expiratory p...

Background. AECOPD is a life threatening condition for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lack of specific biomarker hinders effective management. Sputum, blood, breath and urinary biomarkers have all been investigated. We measured maximum respiratory pressure post exacerbation once the patient was compliant with the test and after 6 weeks, to assess any correlations...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF THE BRONCHODIL ATORY EFFECTS OF INHALED SALBUTAMOLAND COMBIVEN T IN ASTHMATIC PATIENTS
A randomized, double-blind, crossover trial was designed to compare the acute effects of Combivent and salbutamol on spirometric parameters in patients with moderate to severe asthma. Nineteen patients with a mean baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 sec. (FEV]) less than 65% predicted, were randomized on two separate days to receive two puffs of salbutamol (200 µg) or two puffs of Combiv...
