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

Incremental gains in understanding the influence of various factors on aerosol delivery in
concert with technological advancements over the past 2 decades have fueled an ever …

The delivery of aerosols to mechanically ventilated patients presents unique challenges and
differs from inhaled drug delivery in spontaneously breathing patients in several respects …

Aerosolized medications are routinely used for the treatment of critically ill patients. This
paper reviews aerosol delivery devices with a focus on issues related to their performance in …

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) …

Pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) and nebulizers are employed routinely for
aerosol delivery to ventilator-supported patients, but the ventilator circuit and artificial airway …

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 …

Mechanically ventilated patients in respiratory failure often require adjunct therapies to
address special needs such as inhaled drug delivery to alleviate airway obstruction, treat …

Background: Bronchodilators are increasingly being used in patients undergoing
mechanical ventilation. There are multiple factors that affect bronchodilator delivery during …

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 …
