Principal Investigator: Elizabeth Wright, Ph.D.
randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trial of 985 subjects
to evaluate methods of delivery of a bronchodilator to subjects
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study found no
advantages of IPPB over compressor nebulizer therapy in reducing
mortality or hospitalizations or improving lung function or quality
of life. NHLBI Contract N01-HR-7-2901, 1976-1984.
