Administration of drugs via the airway is increasingly practiced in ICU-and surgical patients.
For this purpose, aerosols may be produced by either jet nebulization or ultrasonic droplet …

• Thirty-six acutely ill, hospitalized patients with acute exacerbations of obstructive airway
disease and a greater than 10% increase in forced expiratory volume in 1 s after …

We attempted to resolve the discrepancies in reported data on aerosol deposition from a
chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-propelled metered-dose inhaler (MDI) during mechanical …

BACKGROUND: The utilization of respiratory therapist (RT) driven protocols for single
interventions, such as oxygen titration and bronchopulmonary hygiene, and protocols …

Nebulised drug therapy may be less effective dose inhalers, rather than nebulisers. 14
These are attached to an adapter in the ventilator in patients undergoing mechanical …

The Pulmonary Drug Delivery System (PDDS™) Clinical represents a newer generation of
electronic nebulizers that employ a vibrating mesh or aperture plate to generate an aerosol …

COVID-19 may lead to serious respiratory complications which may necessitate ventilatory
support. There is concern surrounding potential release of patient-derived bioaerosol during …

Objective: The delivery of bronchodilator drugs with metered-dose inhaler (MDI) and a
spacer in mechanically ventilated patients has become a widespread practice. However, the …

Infants have low tidal volume, vital capacity, and functional residual capacity, and short
respiratory cycles (low I: E ratio), which result in a low residence time for aerosol particles …

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 …
