Effect of Tidal Volume and Nebulizer Type and Position on Albuterol Delivery in a Pediatric Model of Mechanical Ventilation.

CONCLUSIONS: Optimization of inhaled drug delivery during pediatric mechanical ventilation should include careful selection of the type of delivery device and its placement in the ventilator circuit. Increasing VT during nebulization did not increase lung dose/delivery efficiency. PMID: 25969513 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
