Aerosol delivery of recombinant human DNase I: in vitro comparison of a vibrating-mesh nebulizer with a jet nebulizer.
BACKGROUND Inhaled recombinant human DNase I (rhDNase) improves clearance of visco-elastic secretions in patients with cystic fibrosis. Because of their portability, newer-generation vibrating-mesh nebulizers offer greater convenience for the patient, but their efficiency in delivering rhDNase has not been determined. METHODS We compared a newer-generation vibrating-mesh nebulizer (Omron Micr...
متن کاملDelivery of high solubility polyols by vibrating mesh nebulizer to enhance mucociliary clearance.
BACKGROUND Inhaled dry powder mannitol has established in vivo therapeutic efficacy for enhancing mucociliary function. However, a single dose necessitates multiple inhalations of a sizeable powder mass. Nebulization of mannitol by vibrating mesh devices has recently been shown in vitro to impart similar dosing in a comparable or lesser treatment time. Nevertheless, the limited solubility of ma...
متن کاملDelivery of salbutamol to nonventilated preterm infants by metered-dose inhaler, jet nebulizer, and ultrasonic nebulizer.
To identify the most efficient device for the delivery of bronchodilator aerosol to nonventilated preterm infants with chronic lung disease, we compared the metered dose inhaler (MDI) used in conjunction with a non-valved spacer, an ultrasonic nebulizer with a small medication cup, and two jet nebulizers. The subjects were enrolled in two double-blind randomized crossover studies. In study A (n...
متن کاملA case of severe acute exacerbation of Yokkaichi asthma treated with a vibrating mesh nebulizer
Yokkaichi asthma was one of the most common environmental pollution diseases in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. The problem of air pollution in Yokkaichi was solved in the 1970s. However, mortality and life expectancy were still affected by the late effects of air pollution in patients with Yokkaichi asthma even in the 2000s. In this case report, we described the experience of successful treatmen...
متن کاملVariability in aerosol output of the DeVilbiss 646 jet nebulizer.
Ten new jet nebulizers (DeVilbiss 646) were studied to determine their consistency of output. Each nebulizer, containing 2 ml of saline solution, was run for 1 min in triplicate at four different straw (capillary tube) positions, keeping all other variables constant. Total output in milliliters per minute and volume of aerosol in the respirable range (1.0 to 5.0 microns) were measured. There wa...
