Background In vivo case reports and in vitro studies have indicated that aerosol therapy
using face masks can result in drug deposition on the face and in the eyes, and that face …

Nebulizers are often interfaced to patients using facemasks, especially when the patient is
sick and uncooperative. Tight-fitting masks are thought to improve drug delivery, but recent …

Passage of aerosol around or through a facemask can result in deposition on the face and in
the eyes. The present study quantified facial and eye deposition in a model simulating drug …

The choice of patient-device interface (face mask or mouthpiece) influences the inhaled
mass and the lung deposition of nebulized drugs. The use of a mouthpiece has been shown …

BACKGROUND: Lung deposition of inhaled steroids, likely to be of benefit in the anti-
inflammatory treatment of asthma in young children, is low. This is explained by age specific …

We have quantified in vitro the influence of the facemask on the amount of drug delivered
(eg, inhaled mass) by jet nebulizer and pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) valved …

The currently available facemask interface for the Nebuchamber (N) valved‐holding
chamber (VHC) provides a very poor seal to the face, which, on average, decreases the …

BACKGROUND: An aerosol of budesonide inhalation suspension is delivered when used
with various jet-nebulizer/compressor combinations. The constant introduction of new …

Limited cooperation and low tidal volumes in infants make aerosol therapy difficult. We
measured the amount of drug delivered from two baby spacer devices especially developed …

Background: Inhaled corticosteroids are increasingly used in the treatment of asthma, and
many different nebulizers are available to aerosolize steroid medications. There are few …
