What are the clinical uses of Aerosols?
Humidify dry inspired gas, using water aerosol
- Sputum induction and to improve mobilization/clearance of respiratory secretions using bland aerosols
- Deliver aerosolized drugs (bronchodilators, anti inflammatories and antibiotics) to resp tract
100% Particle size and predicted lung deposition in the mouth?
100% deposition of particle sizes > 15 microns are in the mouth
100% Particle size and predicted lung deposition in the nose?
100% deposition of particle > 10 microns
What Particle size best reaches the upper airways?
5-10 micron range tend to deposit in UA and early generations
What Particle size best reaches the lower respiratory tract?
Particles 1-5 range able to reach LRT and lung periphery
- also called the respirable fraction
2 ways of quantifying central tendencys of drug admin?
Average particle size (MMAD) and variabiltiy of particle sizes (GSD)
What is the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD)
Describes the average particle diameter (um)
- 50% of the particles are smaller and have less mass
- 50% of the particles are larger and have greater mass
What are advantages of Aerosolized Meds?
onset is rapid as drug is delivered to the intended target area (resp tract)
- small doses
- Fewer systemic side effects w/less severe with oral/parenteral therapy
- inhaled drug therapy is painless and convenient
What are disadvantages of Aerosolized Meds?
- Difficulty in dose estimation and dose reproducibility
- Lack of technical info on
- Inconsistency on device use on pt
- infection
What is effective aerosol therapy?
Delivers adequate amount of drug to site of action
- min waste
- low cost
