Introduction: Aerosolized medications are commonly prescribed for the treatment of patients
with pulmonary diseases, and there has been an increased interest in the development of …

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 …

The aim of this study was to determine the-effect of fill-volume, heat-and-humidification on
aerosol-delivery and fugitive-aerosol-emissions from nebulizers placed proximal to the …

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 Volume-controlled ventilation has been suggested to optimize lung deposition
during nebulization although promoting spontaneous ventilation is targeted to avoid …

Background This systematic review aimed to assess inhaled drug delivery in mechanically
ventilated patients or in animal models. Whole lung and regional deposition and the impact …

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 …

Successful aerosol therapy in mechanically ventilated patients depends on multiple factors.
Among these, position of nebulizer in ventilator circuit and humidification of inhaled gases …

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