Aerogen

A poster shown at the AARC Congress in Tampa, FL showed how one hospital saved $57,854 in drug costs when coverting from Combivent MDI to unit dose medication using the Aeroneb Solo. 

A performance improvement project was initiated in Christiana Care Health System, Newark, Deleware to switch Combivent MDI to albuterol sulfate with ipratropium bromide using Aeorneb Solo for ventilator patients in their mechanically ventilated medical population. 

The Conclusion was taht there were no detectable changes in clinical outcomes measured when switching from Combivent MDI to brochodilator therapy with Aeroneb Solo. A five month $57,854 drug cost reduction was noted when converting to the Aeroneb Solo. 

The full poster is available here.
