Delivery 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 کاملAerosol 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 کاملComparison of jet and ultrasonic nebulizer pulmonary aerosol deposition during mechanical ventilation.
Increased delivery of aerosol to a model lung (attached to a mechanical ventilator) has been demonstrated with an ultrasonic nebulizer as compared to a jet nebulizer. This study examined whether the increased aerosol deposition with an ultrasonic nebulizer could also be demonstrated in vivo. Seven patients (6 male and 1 female) were studied during mechanical ventilalion (Siemens Servo 900C, Mid...
متن کاملEfficiency of Aerosol Therapy through Jet Nebulizer, Breath-Actuated Nebulizer, and Pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler in a Simulated Spontaneous Breathing Adult
BACKGROUND: Aerosol therapy using albuterol is one of the most prescribed asthma treatments. The most frequently used methods of aerosol delivery are pneumatic jet nebulizer (JN), pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI), and breath-actuated nebulizer (BAN). Choosing among these devices is usually not based on thorough comparison of efficiency or cost. We compare the efficiency of these three de...
متن کاملComparing clinical features of the nebulizer, metered-dose inhaler, and dry powder inhaler.
Topically inhaled bronchodilators and corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These medications are delivered via jet or ultrasonic nebulizer, metered-dose inhaler (MDI), or dry powder inhaler (DPI). While the number of devices may be confusing to patients and clinicians, each device has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Most clin...
