💥Aerosol Drug Therapy [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ bit.ly/3fXubmS
➡️ What is Aerosol Drug Therapy?
An aerosol is a suspension of fine particles dispersed in air or gas. They are generated by nebulizers and inhalers, which break up liquid or powder medications into particles small enough that can be inhaled into the lungs.
This is known as aerosol drug therapy, which can be used to treat a variety of respiratory conditions, including:
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Bronchitis
- Cystic fibrosis
➡️ Aerosol Drug Delivery Systems
A specialized device is required to generate aerosols in order for this type of therapy to occur. There are three primary types of aerosol delivery systems:
1. Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI)
2. Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI)
3. Nebulizers
➡️ Metered Dose Inhaler
A metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is a type of inhaler that uses a pressurized canister to deliver a specific amount of medication in aerosol form. The patient can activate the device while inhaling to receive a dose of the drug.
➡️ Dry Powder Inhaler
A dry powder inhaler (DPI) is a breath-actuated device that delivers aerosols in the form of fine powder particles that can reach the lungs by inhalation.
➡️ Nebulizer
A nebulizer is a device that uses compressed air or ultrasonic waves to break up liquid into aerosol particles that can be inhaled into the lungs. It requires the use of a face mask or mouthpiece in order for drug delivery to occur.
➡️ Types of Nebulizers
1. Jet nebulizers
2. Ultrasonic nebulizers
3. Vibrating Mesh nebulizers
➡️ Hazards of Aerosol Drug Therapy
Most of the hazards that occur when delivering aerosol drugs involve an adverse reaction to the medication that is being administered to the patient. However, some other hazards that can occur include:
- Infection
- Airway reactivity
- Pulmonary effects of the drug
- Systemic effects of the drug
- Eye irritation
- Secondhand exposure
This is a type of therapy that respiratory therapists are involved in on a daily basis, so it's probably a good idea to develop an understanding of this topic.

dry powder helped me for over 10 ys to live with my chronic bronchitis, brought it almost down

I'm on Symbicort Rapihaler for asthma while my mother is on Spiolto Respimat and Symbicort Rapihaler for COPD (and Combivent nebule every six hours as needed esp. since she has pulmonary hypertension). Excellent overview. Stay safe everyone. 🌸
I really appreciate your channel and hard work!
Thanks for this,I use my nebuliser up to six times a day for last stage COPD,I couldn’t survive without it.
I'm in last stage myself. I'm on , oxygen 5 lit. 24/7 , Inhaler's and Dry Powder Inhaler's and nebulizer. And let's not forget about a dozen pills. I've had COPD since 2014 and l'm at the point of things aren't working that good any more.. So I'm not sure how long I can stay in the fight. But I'm damn sure not throwing in the towel..👍 Take care of yourself my friend and give it everything you've got.🙏
Please look up Dr. Berg on utube he can help you God Bless
@@C.Brown5150 thank you brother,I’m praying for you.God bless you.
Great info
Thanks for sharing!
I have a COPD. I usually take Trelegy every day. But when I go for walking. Sometimes I use Boost Oxygen. Which I get from Walgreens. Is using Boost Oxygen Inhaler cause infection?
Thanks for this information 🎥
Thanks for sharing 😊
I love my nebulazer and I only have to use it when needed. I just recently found the side effects of advair as I was put back on it because my insurance would not pay for my breo in haler. I started discovering I was gaining weight rapidly and I looked swollen as advair does have steroids. yet I didn't think an inhaler would cause me to gain so much weight. Not a good thing as weight added on makes it even harder to breathe. And I'm not a big person either. yet still I could feel the difference after the weight gain. Now that I've discovered that I did get a breo inhaler... out of pocket for the most part and I'm using my nebulizer much more. Also I don't know as I just recently found your channel have you ever did a demonstration on how people should actually use an inhaler? I see so many that think they need to wrap their lips around that inhaler from watching movies and TV. And that's not the case...it should be pulled away from your mouth slightly breathe out all the air you have or as much as you can and then hit that but do not wrap your lips around the inhaler. I see so many mistakes and no one listens due to doctors not showing them properly
Nice info
Thanks for the great work you do.
It will be more interesting if make translation in french language please
I have been on twice daily use of a corticosteroid inhaler since late 2006 for asthma, and secondarily more recently for a bit of COPD. It saved my life, quite literally. I would have been dead years ago without it. It has even had positive secondary effects: My frequent, extremely painful headaches (allergy related, I was told) disappeared, and my nasal allergy symptoms have been greatly reduced. I have had few unpleasant side effects, except that it has changed my voice, which I regret. It used to be strong and deep, but is now less deep and much weaker. Can’t complain too much because, as I said, it saved my life.
However, what is it with the video narration? Is that a real man, or a robot? I suspect the latter. The rhythm of how the sentences are delivered is so repetitive once you notice it. Why not just have it recorded by a native English speaker with a good voice and clear way of speaking?
What about chronic sinusitis?
