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

Backgrounds Substituting nebulisers by another, especially in non-invasive ventilation (NIV),
involves many process-variables, eg nebulizer-type and fill-volume of respirable-dose …

As a worldwide ban on the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in inhaler devices
approaches, considerable attention has been focused on the production of CFC-free …

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 …

Background: Aerosol drug delivery to the lungs is known to be very inefficient during all
forms of noninvasive ventilation, especially when the aerosol is administered simultaneously …

BACKGROUND: There has been a growing trend toward delivering aerosolized medications
using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). In some cases, patients who do not require high-flow …

Background: Aerosol delivery during invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) depends on
nebulizer type, placement of the nebulizer and ventilator settings. The purpose of this study …

Combihaler could connect both pressurized-metered-dose-inhaler (pMDI) and nebulizers to
non-invasive-ventilation-circuit (NIV). This can be used to give the patient preliminary …

In comparison with spontaneously breathing non-intubated subjects, intubated,
mechanically ventilated patients encounter various challenges, barriers, and opportunities in …

Background: Advances in aerosol technology have improved drug delivery efficiency during
noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Clinical evaluation of the efficacy of aerosol therapy during …
