Summary

* The gold standard measures to evaluate small airways (SAW) "in vivo" is not well understood
* Two tests are today used to measure SAW but real results concordance is not clear
* These problems have a small evidence
* Data about real effect of bronchodilators on SAW (eg Tiotropium and Indacaterol) has never been studied
* Only an acute bronchodilators effect, after one hour of drugs inhalation, will be evaluated
* The time frame of study evaluations per patient will be of three hours: one hour for basal test; one hour rest after drug administration; one hour for post bronchodilators test
* All enrolled subjects will be outpatients and will be evaluated after 24 hours of inhalatory drugs washout
