Comparison of Bronchodilator Treatment Practices in Group E COPD Patients

The Respirox® RNEB-18 device was used for the bronchodilator treatment given before the randomization of the patients and for the maintenance bronchodilator treatment given in Group 1 patients. After calibrating the device, it was determined that it performed nebulization with a flow of 6 lt/min. In Group 2 patients, a HAVELSAN® EHSİM brand nebulizer produced in our country, compatible with the central system of our hospital, was used as a dry air nebulizer. For classical nebulizer treatment in Group 3 patients, a nebulizer device compatible with our hospital's central oxygen system was used. In Group 2 and 3 patients, the flow system could be adjusted manually. To be consistent with Group 1 patients, bronchodilator treatment was administered at a 6 lt/min flow rate.
