IntroductionObstructive lung diseases (OLDs) such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are major global sources of morbidity and mortality. Current treatments broadly include bronchodilators such as beta agonists/antimuscarinics and anti-inflammatory agents such as steroids. Despite therapy patients still experience exacerbations of their diseases and overall decline over time. Nebulised furosemide may have a novel use in the treatment of OLD. Multiple small studies have shown improvement in pulmonary function as well as dyspnoea. This systematic review will aim to summarise and analyse the existing literature on nebulised furosemide use in OLD to guide treatment and future studies.Methods and analysisWe will identify all experimental studies using nebulised/inhaled furosemide in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that report any outcome. Databases will include EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ACP Journal Club, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Clinical Answers, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Methodology Register, Health Technology Assessment and the NHS Economic Evaluation Database (1995–2015). We will also search ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO-International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Two reviewers will independently determine trial eligibility. For each included trial, we will perform duplicate independent data extraction, risk of bias assessment and evaluation of the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval will not be applicable to this systematic review. The results of the study will be communicated through publication in peer-reviewed journals.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021284680.
