albuterol and Altitude Hypoxia

albuterol has been researched along with Altitude Hypoxia in 11 studies

Albuterol: A short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist that is primarily used as a bronchodilator agent to treat ASTHMA. Albuterol is prepared as a racemic mixture of R(-) and S(+) stereoisomers. The stereospecific preparation of R(-) isomer of albuterol is referred to as levalbuterol.
albuterol : A member of the class of phenylethanolamines that is 4-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol having a tert-butyl group attached to the nirogen atom. It acts as a beta-adrenergic agonist used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Altitude Hypoxia: Low ambient oxygen tension associated with ALTITUDE.

Trial Outcomes

Donor Oxygenation

The primary outcome was the change in oxygenation as measured by change in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio from study enrollment to organ procurement (NCT00310401)
Timeframe: Change from enrollment to organ procurement (about ~40h after enrollment)

Number of Donor Lungs Used for Transplantation

Number of lungs procured and used for transplantation (NCT00310401)
Timeframe: 72 hours

Chest X-ray Findings

Chest radiographs were scored using a radiographic score that scored each quadrant for extent of radiographic infiltrates on a scale of 0 to 4, then summed each quadrant for a total score from 0 (no infiltrates) to 16 (extensive infiltrates in all 4 radiographic quadrants). (NCT00310401)

Lung Compliance

Static compliance of the respiratory system using plateau pressure (Pplat) measured at end-inspiration and calculated using the equation static compliance = tidal volume/(Pplat - PEEP) (NCT00310401)
