Summary

COPD is the 3rd most common cause of death in the world, and the most common places of admission in our country with exacerbation of COPD are emergency services. β-2 agonists and/or short-acting anticholinergic drugs use is recommended in patients with COPD Salbutamol is known to cause significant improvement in dyspnea, quality of life and FEV1 in patients with COPD. Various techniques are used to administer drugs, one of which is the nebulization technique and is frequently used in emergency departments. There are limited clinical studies comparing different nebulization techniques, and the aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of Vibrating MESH nebulizer versus Jet nebulizers in a COPD exacerbation patient.

Patients who applied to the Emergency Department of Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital with the complaint of shortness of breath and were diagnosed with COPD exacerbation according to the Gold Guidelines and to be treated with nebulization will be included in the study. Patients who agreed to participate in the study will be divided into two groups and assigned sequentially according to the simple randomization schedule.

Medication will be applied to one group with Jet nebulizers (Philips Respironics) and to the other group with Vibrating MESH nebulizer (Aerogen Ultra). Vital signs, IPI, spirometric measurements (FEV 1, FVC, FEV1 / FVC, FEF 50, FEF 2575), and dyspnea VAS score will be recorded at admission and re-measured after 1hour of treatment . In addition, single dose nebulization time will be measured and patient satisfaction will be measured with a 5-linkert scale. Demographic data will be recorded. The measurements will be recorded in the patient file and the groups will be coded so that the researcher evaluating the data will be blinded to the groups. The patient could not be blinded because of the different shape of devices.
