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.
