Therapeutic aerosols are commonly used in mechanically ventilated patients, mainly to
deliver bronchodilator drugs. Because ventilator-supported patients often receive several …

Background: Bronchodilators are increasingly being used in patients undergoing
mechanical ventilation. There are multiple factors that affect bronchodilator delivery during …

Inhaled bronchodilators are routinely administered to mechanically ventilated patients to
relieve dyspnea and reverse bronchoconstriction. A lower percentage of the nominal dose …

Objective To determine the effect of inspiratory time and inspiratory flow pattern on albuterol
delivery by aerosol during mechanical ventilation. Design A ventilator was connected to a …

Background The optimal method of delivering bronchodilators in mechanically ventilated
patients is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the pulmonary bioavailability …

We determined the relative efficacy of two bronchodilator aerosol delivery methods in 18
intubated mechanically ventilated patients with airways obstruction. Two treatment arms …

Aerosol bronchodilators are commonly used in intubated mechanically ventilated patients.
This therapy has traditionally been administered by small-volume nebulizer (SVN). As in …

Bronchodilators are frequently used in ICU patients, and are the most common medications
administered by inhalation during mechanical ventilation. The amount of bronchodilator that …

Aerosolized bronchodilators are widely used in hospitalized patients primarily because they
are relatively safe and, in patients with bronchospasm, effective. In nonasthmatic patients …
