Aerosolised drugs are prescribed for use in a range of inhaler devices and systems. Delivering drugs by inhalation requires a formulation that can be successfully aerosolised and a delivery system… Expand
Inhaled bronchodilator therapy in mechanically ventilated patients.
Therapeutic aerosols are commonly used in mechanically ventilated patients, mainly to deliver bronchodilator drugs. Because ventilator-supported patients often receive several different classes of… Expand
