Comparative Study
Comparing the delivery of albuterol metered-dose inhaler via an adapter and spacer device in an in vitro infant ventilator lung model.
To compare the delivery of an albuterol metered-dose inhaler (MDI) (Ventolin) via an Aerochamber (Monaghan) with an inline adapter (Medicomp Straight Swivel) in an in vitro infant lung model. ⋯ The Aerochamber provides a greater delivery of albuterol metered-dose inhalations to the lung than the inline adapter in an in vitro infant lung model.

Comparative Study
Evaluating the delivery of nebulized and metered-dose inhalers in an in vitro infant ventilator lung model.
To evaluate drug delivery to the lungs of nebulized and metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) in an in vitro infant lung model. ⋯ Albuterol MDI provides a more efficient delivery of drug to the lung as compared with nebulized albuterol and MDI beclomethasone diproprionate.
