In-Line Bronchodilators

Colleagues,

I could use your help in two ways:

1)  Share you protocol for the proper utilization of bronchodilators for ventilated patients
2)  Share any articles from the peer-reviewed literature that address the above and/or any untoward cardiac effects.

Thanks!

Garry- I have many resources (not available on my I-Pad) but I would suggest the link provided to Aerogen. The drug efficacy, no volume added to the circuit, no increase in FiO2 and the ability to use a pump for continuous nebulization sets this apart as best practice for ventilated patients that require nebulized medications. Search Pub Med to support all the latest research. Take care---
