Inhalation therapy with metered-dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers in mechanically ventilated patients.
Pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) are commonly employed for administering bronchodilator aerosols to mechanically ventilated patients. Although it is feasible to employ dry powder inhalers in ventilator circuits, the presence of humidity in the ventilator circuit could reduce their efficiency. A complex array of factors influence drug delivery from pMDIs during mechanical ventilation, a...
متن کاملAssessing dry powder inhalers
To enable what would otherwise be impractical, invasive and potentially dangerous testing, and to remove the huge variation and costs associated with human subjects, it is common practice to test inhalation devices and formulations using in vitro test apparatus. Industry standard test conditions and relevant parameters have been devised and published by the regulatory authorities and within the...
متن کاملDry powder inhalers: an overview.
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are a widely accepted inhaled delivery dosage form, particularly in Europe, where they currently are used by a large number of patients for the delivery of medications to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The acceptance of DPIs in the United States after the slow uptake following the introduction of the Serevent Diskus in the late 1990s has been ...
متن کاملThe inhalation characteristics of patients when they use different dry powder inhalers.
BACKGROUND The characteristics of each inhalation maneuver when patients use dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are important, because they control the quality of the emitted dose. METHODS We have measured the inhalation profiles of asthmatic children [CHILD; n=16, mean forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) 79% predicted], asthmatic adults (ADULT; n=53, mean predicted FEV1 72%), and chronic obstru...
متن کاملDry Powder Inhalers: A Review
In the recent years pulmonary drug delivery system is found to be preferred route of administration for various drugs. It has been divided into 3 classes: Nebulizers, pMDI, DPI.DPI are used as an alternative to pMDI because pMDI contains propellant (CFC) which has ozone depletion characteristics. DPI delivers medication in the form of dry powder to lungs. DPI is formulated either as a carrier b...
