BACKGROUND: Optimization of factors affecting aerosol delivery during mechanical
ventilation in the pediatric population is important. We hypothesized that increasing the tidal …

Pressurized metered-dose inhalers of bronchodilator and corticosteroid aerosols are more
efficient and convenient to use than nebulizers for routine therapy in ventilated patients …

Background: Patients receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may benefit from medical
aerosol, but most guidance on dosing with different aerosol devices is limited to in-vitro …

In nonintubated patients, metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) are accepted as the most
convenient, efficient, and cost effective method of administering inhaled bronchodilators …

Pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) and nebulizers are employed routinely for
aerosol delivery to ventilator-supported patients, but the ventilator circuit and artificial airway …

Metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) provide several advantages over nebulizers, including ease
of administration, decreased cost, reliability of dosing, and freedom from contamination …

The delivery of aerosols to mechanically ventilated patients presents unique challenges and
differs from inhaled drug delivery in spontaneously breathing patients in several respects …

In the setting of mechanical ventilation, recent studies havecast doubt on the ability of
nebulizer systems to deliver adequate amounts of medication. Wetherefore studied …

Background Volume-controlled ventilation has been suggested to optimize lung deposition
during nebulization although promoting spontaneous ventilation is targeted to avoid …

The object of this study was to evaluate in vitro the influence of various ventilatory
parameters on the delivery of synchronized nebulization of terbutaline during mechanical …
