Although nebulizers can vary widely in performance, there is no uniformly accepted method
for bench testing these devices. In the present study, we compared three bench methods of …

BACKGROUND: Continuous albuterol nebulization has become the standard of care for
patients with status asthmaticus. Predictable albuterol delivery is paramount for effective …

We have developed a conceptual and mathematical model for nebulizer performance that
attempts to provide a unifying theoretical framework for subsequent in vitro studies …

Seventeen commercially available jet nebulizers from 15 commercial sources were studied
(Acorn-I, Acorn-II, AquaTower, AVA-NEB, Cirrhus, Dart, DeVilbiss 646, Downdraft, Fan Jet …

The quality of the aerosol generated by a nebulizer system is a function of its design,
operating parameters, and the drug formulation to be aerosolized. The aerosolized drug …

The objective of this study was to evaluate relative efficiency in vitro of four reusable breath-
enhanced nebulizers (Pari LC Star, Medic-Aid Ventstream, Devilbiss PermaNeb, Salter …

We studied the frequency of malfunction, variability in rate of nebulization, and effect of this
variability on aerosol particle size of eight disposable jet nebulizer models produced by six …

INTRODUCTION: Design differences among pneumatically powered, small-volume
nebulizers affect drug disposition (percentage of the dose delivered to the patient, lost to …

The delivery of nebulized drugs is poorly controlled and the choice of the most appropriate
delivery device is poorly understood, particularly because of off-license prescriptions and a …

Background To improve convenience to patients, there have been advances in the
operation of nebulizers, resulting in fast treatment times and less drug lost to the …
