Summary

Although patients with bronchiectasis tend to have non reversible obstructive patterns on pulmonary function tests (PFTs), reversible obstruction is not uncommon. While bronchodilator response (BDR) is a main characteristic of asthma, the pathophysiology causing this phenomenon in bronchiectasis patients is less clear.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess BDR in patients with bronchiectasis.

The main aims of this study:

1. To evaluate the role of bronchodilators in BDR testing of patients with bronchiectasis.
2. Characterize and compare BDR between different subgroups of patients with bronchiectasis, and compared to patients without bronchiectasis (healthy controls).
3. Identify demographics and other clinical variables associated with positive BDR

Participants will be taking a series of three spirometry tests: After the first spirometry testing, patients will be randomly assigned to receive bronchodilators as per bronchodilator response protocol (Salbutamol, 100 mcg, 4 puffs via spacer) or four puffs of placebo. After a waiting time of 15 minutes, spirometry will be repeated. Following the second spirometry testing those who received salbutamol will now receive placebo and those receiving placebo will receive Salbutamol. After a second period of 15 minutes, a third series of spirometry will be recorded.
