Aerosol Deposition in Asthmatic Obese Women Using Heliox: A Randomized, Crossover, Controlled Clinical Trial Study
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating nebulizing with heliox and oxygen for Obese and Asthma. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess pulmonary deposition and distribution of radio-aerosol in obese and normal women, using 2-D planar scintigraphy. METHODS: after inhaling an aerosol of technetium labeled diethylenetriamine penteacetic acid (99mTc - DTPA) with an activity of 1 mCi in a total dose volume with normal saline of 2,5 ml using a vibrating mesh inhaler.

Interventions
Mesh Nebulizer with heliox and oxygen. In order to determine the sequence of the gas associated with the inhaled a randomization was performed, sequence 1- first oxygen and second heliox (80:20) or sequence 2- first heliox (80:20) and secondy oxygen.
