Healthy, non obese participants will perform the following inhalation protocol:aerosol solution of technetium labeled diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) (1mCi) and bronchodilators (fenoterol (2.5 mg) and ipratropium bromide (0.25 mg)) with 0.9% saline solution (total 1,5 ml) using a vibrating MESH inhaler (Aerogen® Solo, Aerogen Ltd, Galway, Ireland). A High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) with 30L/min flow will be used to deliver aerosol. Volunteer seated; Preliminary acclimatization (1-2 min). Inspiratory branch: source of oxygen; HFNC; Expiratory branch: filter (Vital signs, USA). Nebulization will run until the full dose has been used (3-4 min).
Healthy, non obese participants will perform the following inhalation protocol: aerosol solution of technetium labeled diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) (1mCi) and bronchodilators (fenoterol (2.5 mg) and ipratropium bromide (0.25 mg)) with 0.9% saline solution (total dose volume 1,5 ml) using a vibrating MESH inhaler (Aerogen® Solo, Aerogen Ltd, Galway, Ireland) with free flow. The volunteer will be positioned seated in a chair. A mouthpiece associated with a T-tube with Inspiratory and Expiratory branches will be positioned in his mouth for preliminary acclimatization (1-2 min). Inspiratory branch: source of oxygen; bag of air accumulation. Expiratory branch: filter (Vital signs, USA). Nebulization will run until the full dose has been used (3-4 min).
