Actual pentamidine dose delivered by Respigard II nebulizer.
The Respigard II nebulizer system is the approved method to deliver pentamidine aerosols in the USA. Although continuous operation of the nebulizer until dryness is a designated regimen, the actual pentamidine dose delivered under the operating condition has not been thoroughly studied.

متن کاملIs the measurement of delivered dose a good performance measure? A characterization of delivered and respirable delivered dose in two brands of jet nebulizer
Background Use of a nebulizer facilitates rapid administration of high doses of drug, which is desirable for patients presenting with acute severe asthma.

SideStream Plus (SS+; Philips Respironics) and Nebutech (NB; Salte...
متن کاملComparison of beta-adrenergic agents delivered by nebulizer vs metered dose inhaler with InspirEase in hospitalized asthmatic patients.
The present study was undertaken to determine if beta-agonists delivered by nebulizer provide better clinical responses than MDI therapy in status asthmaticus. We divided 28 hospitalized asthmatic patients into three groups. Group 1 received albuterol by MDI with InspirEase. Group 2 received nebulized albuterol. Group 3 received nebulized metaproterenol. Both nebulizer regimens resulted in sign...
متن کاملComparison of albuterol delivered by a metered dose inhaler with spacer versus a nebulizer in children with mild acute asthma.
OBJECTIVE In children with mild acute asthma, to compare treatment with a single dose of albuterol delivered by a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with a spacer in either a weight-adjusted high dose or a standard low-dose regimen with delivery by a nebulizer. STUDY DESIGN In this randomized double-blind trial set in an emergency department, 90 children between 5 and 17 years of age with a baseline ...
