The purpose of this presentation is to describe a parallel piped oxygen and piped compressed air system for use in inhalation therapy, in patients with chronic pulmonary disease. Intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) with nebulized bronchodilator has been utilized widely in the treatment of conditions associated with disturbances in respiration. Subjective benefits and functional impr...

Inhalation therapy in mechanical ventilation

Patients with obstructive lung disease often require ventilatory support via invasive or noninvasive mechanical ventilation, depending on the severity of the exacerbation. The use of inhaled bronchodilators can significantly reduce airway resistance, contributing to the improvement of respiratory mechanics and patient-ventilator synchrony. Although various studies have been published on this to...
