Brief Summary

The study hypothesises that the variability in relief of air hunger with inhaled furosemide that is reported in previous studies can be explained by the breathing pattern adopted during the inhalation...

Detailed Description

Recent studies suggest that inhaling furosemide as a mist reduces air hunger in healthy volunteers in whom air hunger is induced experimentally in the lab. However, how much reduction varies among ind...
