Summary
Empirical data from physician observation indicates an increase in serum lactate in acute
asthmatic patients being treated with inhaled albuterol therapy.
It is not clear if this increased serum lactate is in response to a physiological response to
the asthmatic process or from the albuterol treatment.
This study is designed to determine if administration of inhaled albuterol increases serum
lactate in healthy subjects.
