THE EFFECT OF LONG ACTING BRONCHODILATORS ON VENTILATION IN COPD [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Stephen Milne (Principal investigator)

Brief description COPD is a common and important smoking-related lung disease. Well-established treatments with inhaled medications including long-acting bronchodilators have a proven clinical track record. However the physiological basis for their effects is still under investigation. This research examines some of the physiological changes in lung function and the response to long-acting bronchodilators in patients with COPD, and may help explain why some patients respond to therapy while others do not, leading to more targeted therapeutics
