Fig. 2 Percentage clearances at 1 hour for healthy subjects after acute treatment with low- versus high-dose nebulized albuterol (see text for dosing). Also given are the mean airway resistances before and after treatment with low versus high dose. Asterisk indicates P < .05 for comparison with control or pretreatment values.
