Summary
The study will compare a novel volumetric method (performed with the Aerogen Solo vibrating
mesh nebulizer) with the standard two-minute tidal breathing protocol (performed with the
Wright jet nebulizer) for methacholine challenge testing. The results will then give an
indication as to whether the novel technique accurately assesses a given dose of
methacholine with the new Aerogen Solo device. In addition, the reproducibility of test
results with each method will be examined. Altogether, the findings from this investigation
may provide means for better standardization of current testing guidelines.
