Second dose effect. Left panels (a and c): Individual (n = 8) changes in VAS ratings of AH in response to first and second doses of inhaled furosemide in the furosemide-saline-furosemide (FSF) group (a). Corresponding changes for the first and second doses of inhaled saline in the saline-furosemide-saline (SFS) group (c). For the FSF group the second dose of furosemide had a greater reduction in AH relief than the first dose in all but one participant. This was not true for the second dose of saline in the SFS group. Participants are arranged in order of response to first dose of furosemide for the FSF group or first dose of saline for SFS group. Right panels (b and d): The mean reduction in AH for the first and second dose of furosemide (b) and saline (d)
