Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the effects on respiratory mechanics of one "classical"
short-term bronchodilator (i.e., salbutamol) versus placebo, and to verify the hypothesis
that the addition of another bronchodilator (i.e., anticholinergic) may induce a further
improvement on the work of breathing of stable COPD patients.
