Introduction Proper device selection is crucial for the clinical results of inhalation therapy.
However, none of the available devices fully conforms to the requirements for delivering …

Despite the fact that the nasal-cannula is more comfortable than facemask, using facemask
with high flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) may be beneficial in mouth-breathers. The aim of the …

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: 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) …

Introduction We have investigated the effect of adding a pressurized metered dose inhaler
(pMDI) training device to verbal counselling on pulmonary function and inhalation …

BACKGROUND: Predosing patients with COPD with salbutamol by using a pressurized
metered-dose-inhaler (pMDI) as a bronchodilator was hypothesized to improve the …

Pharmaceutical aerosols play a key role in the treatment of lung disorders, but also systemic
diseases, due to their ability to target specific areas of the respiratory system (RS). This …

Objective Nebulizers can be divided according to their functional principle into jet, ultrasonic
and vibrating mesh nebulizers with intermittent or continuous aerosol delivery and may be …

Introduction Different aerosol generators are used during mechanical ventilation connected
to spacers or adapters. The design and volume of these connections can significantly affect …

Background A holding chamber (HC) was created to work with a vibrating mesh nebulizer
(VMN) to boost the total inhalable dose for patients. In addition to the optional supply of …
