Abstrakt		Therapeutic aerosols are commonly used in mechanically ventilated patients, yet there is a paucity of information regarding their efficacy and optimal technique of administration. Multiple factors like type of aerosol generating device, the timing of aerosol production, ventilator mode, tidal volume, circuit humidity and placing of device influence the efficacy of aerosol delivery and deposition of drug in patients airways. Traditionally nebulizers have been used for inhalation therapy in mechanically ventilated patients, although metered dose inhalers (MDIs) are equally effective. With a proper technique MDIs provide several advantages over nebulizers including ease of administration, decreased cost, reliability of dosing, and freedom from contamination.
