BACKGROUND: Various studies have demonstrated the benefits of continuous nebulization
therapy for delivering aerosols of the beta2 agonists such as terbutaline sulfate or albuterol …

Airway response to inhalation therapy depends on the volume and particle size of the drug
being delivered. Factors affecting the particle size of nebulized drugs include driving gas …

The principles of aerosol drug delivery by compressed-air nebulization are described, and
the therapeutic agents administered by this process for management of asthma are …

Background Nebulized particles must have diameters between 1 to 5 μ m (optimal particle
size range [OPSR]) to be deposited in the lower respiratory tract. The purpose of this study is …

The use of inhaled β< sub> 2-agonists delivered by a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) with a
holding chamber (spacer) actually is considered the best treatment for childhood acute …

Nebulization therapy is an approach for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as
asthma which was not anticipated in the international recommendations for the treatment of …

Many different inhalation devices are now available for the treatment of asthma. Pressures
towards the elimination of chlorofluorocarbon propellants are driving forward development …

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

OBJECTIVE: To critically review the use of beta-adrenergic agonists in acute, severe asthma
with particular focus on aerosol administration. DATA SOURCES: English language articles …

The most common way of treating exacerbations of asthma and chronic airflow limitation
(CAL) in hospital emergency rooms and on the wards is by means of bronchodilator …
