Objective To evaluate nebulizer performance when heliox was used to power the nebulizer.
Methods Conventional and continuous nebulizer designs were evaluated. The conventional …

Heliox improves lung deposition of inhaled particles when compared with air or oxygen
inhalation. We studied the spirometric effects of albuterol nebulized with heliox during …

BACKGROUND: Heliox (helium-oxygen mixture) has been shown to reduce turbulence and
improve aerosol delivery in a range of clinical settings. We questioned whether heliox as …

Our understanding of albuterol nebulization driven by helium-oxygen mixture (heliox) has
matured with recent advances in clinical therapy, delivery systems, and understanding of …

To compare the effects of heliox-driven (He 80: O2 20) to air-driven (N 79: O2 21) β2-agonist
aerosol therapy on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in patients with asthma, a prospective …

Pulmonary delivery of inhaled bronchodilators in mechanically ventilated patients is
inefficient whether administered by metered‐dose inhaler (MDI) or small‐volume nebulizer …

Drug administration via high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been described in pediatrics
but the amount of albuterol delivery with an HFNC is not known. The purpose of this study is …

While administration of medical aerosols with heliox and positive airway pressure are both
used clinically to improve aerosol delivery, few studies have differentiated their separate …

Study objective: To compare the effectiveness of a helium-oxygen mixture with that of
oxygen alone as an aerosolizing gas for β-agonist therapy in patients with mild to moderate …

Objectives: To evaluate differences between three new-generation nebulizers—Pari LC Star
(Pari Respiratory Equipment; Mississauga, ON, Canada), AeroEclipse (Trudell Medical …
