Successful bronchodilator therapy with a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) in intubated,
mechanically ventilated patients requires adequate delivery of aerosol to the lower …

Using an in vitro model, we compared efficiencies of jet nebulizers and metered-dose
inhalers (MDI) with actuator devices to deliver albuterol in various conditions of mechanical …

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 …

During the past decade the unprecedented improvements in technology for delivery of
inhaled drugs were matched by an equally impressive growth in clinical applications …

Objective: to compare aerosol delivery from a standard (Bennett) nebulizer, a submicronic
(Ultravent) nebulizer, a metered dose inhaler (MDI) plus small holding chamber, and an MDI …

The optimal dose and technique for administration of bronchodilators with a metered-dose
inhaler (MDI) in mechanically ventilated patients have not been established. We studied the …

Among the devices employed for aerosol generation (metered-dose inhalers, nebulizers,
and dry powder inhalers) only metered-dose inhalers and nebulizers are routinely employed …

Therapeutic aerosols are commonly used in mechanically ventilated patients, yet
information regarding their efficacy and optimal technique of administration has been …

Pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) and nebulizers are routinely employed for
aerosol delivery in mechanically ventilated patients. A significant proportion of the aerosol …

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