Volume Parameters vs Flow Parameters in Assessment of Reversibility in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Overview

– Assess the differences between flow and volume responses after bronchodilator reversibility testing in patients over different clinical chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stages (GOLD stage I to GOLD stage IV). – Study the Correlation between the bronchodilator response and the severity of the disease.

Detailed Description

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive. The diagnosis requires an evidence of obstructive pattern by spirometry measured before and after bronchodilators. The degree of reversibility of airflow obstruction differs between patients, and does not predict the response to bronchodilator therapy. It can be seen in terms of forced vital capacity (FVC) or forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1),or Inspiratory capacity (IC) or residual volume (RV).

Interventions

  • Diagnostic Test: Whole body plethysmography
    • Whole body plethysmography : measure lung volumes Spirometry : to assess severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease also reversibility testing

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Whole body plethysmography
  • Active Comparator: spirometery

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Assess the response pattern to inhaled short acting B2 agonist
    • Time Frame: twice per day one before inhaled short acting B2 agonist and one after 10 minutes from inhaled short acting B2 agonist for average of 2 year
    • Assess the response pattern to inhaled short acting B2 agonist through measuring flow and volume parameters to define the differences between volumes responders and flow responders
