Evaluation of Aerosolized Drugs Deposition During Mechanical Ventilation

Summary

Aerosol delivery through a ventilator is influenced by numerous factors from ventilator-related, circuit-related to device-related factors. Aerosolized drug delivery through a ventilator system was studied on bench model with albuterol, yet the results were often overestimated. The objective of this study was to evaluate inhaled bronchodilator and mucolytic agents delivered through a ventilator system.
