Background Patient receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) may benefit from
medical aerosol, but guidance on dosing with different aerosol devices is limited to in-vitro …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this work was to determine the effect of fill volume and
humidification change on aerosol delivery during single-limb noninvasive ventilation (NIV) …

Introduction Nebulizers used to deliver aerosol during non-invasive mechanical ventilation
(NIV) have many types, each type has many different designs. This study aimed to determine …

Introduction Many devices (eg, nebulizers and spacers) are used to deliver aerosol in a non-
invasive ventilation circuit (NIV) without any special recommendation. The aim of the present …

BACKGROUND: Predosing patients with COPD with salbutamol by using a pressurized
metered-dose-inhaler (pMDI) as a bronchodilator was hypothesized to improve the …

Background Few studies have investigated the factors affecting aerosol delivery during non-
invasive ventilation (NIV). Our aim was to investigate, using a bench-top model, the effect of …

Background: Few studies on performance comparison of nebulizer systems coupled with a
single-limb circuit bilevel ventilator are available. Most of these data compared the aerosol …

Background: Research on the effect of nebulizer location on aerosol delivery during
noninvasive ventilation has reached inconsistent conclusions. Objective: To investigate the …

BACKGROUND: A new holding chamber was designed to be used with a vibrating mesh
nebulizer to increase the total inhalable dose for patients. It facilitates intermittent and …
