Respiratory diseases affect millions of people worldwide and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality7,8

Aerosol therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for respiratory conditions, but challenges exist9-12
Difficulties with device use
Correct technique is required to administer medication via inhaler, which can be affected by age, manual dexterity, cognitive ability and coordination skills9,10Patient distress during respiratory exacerbations
On presentation, children may be crying or in distress, which may negatively impact the dose delivered during inhaled therapy11,12
Support during escalation of care
Patients admitted to hospital during exacerbations may receive respiratory support (e.g., high-flow therapy [HF]) or ventilatory support (e.g., non-invasive ventilation [NIV], invasive mechanical ventilation [IMV])9,10 and require concomitant aerosol therapy
Asthma
In asthma, Aerogen supports patient care in response to aerosolised medication2,3
In
a study of self-ventilating (SV) children with a moderate-to-severe asthma
exacerbation:
Significantly fewer bronchodilator treatments were required to achieve symptom control‡ with Aerogen Ultra vs a jet nebuliser, irrespective of disease severity2
Median (IQR) number of treatments: 2.0 (1–3) vs 3.0 (2–5); P<0.001.
‡Defined as achieving a mild asthma score following an asthma exacerbation.

COPD
In COPD, Aerogen supports effective drug delivery3
In
a study of patients with stable moderate-to-severe COPD receiving NIV:
~4x more medication was delivered to the lungs using Aerogen during NIV vs a jet nebuliser3
Mean (±SD) lung deposition: 12.05 ± 2.96% vs 3.14 ± 1.71%; P<0.001.

Aerogen helps to address some of the challenges of aerosol drug delivery in the treatment of respiratory disease:
Difficulties with inhaler use
Aerogen is quick and easy to set up1
No added flow required1
Patient distress during exacerbations
Aerogen is virtually silent,1,13 keeping a calm environment for your patients
Support during escalation of care
One system used throughout a patient’s respiratory journey (IMV, NIV, HF, SV),1 supporting continuity of care1
Aerogen Solo
Aerogen Solo can support aerosol drug delivery at every stage of a patient’s respiratory journey: during IMV, NIV, HF and SV.1
- Quick and easy to set up1
- Virtually silent1,13
- Single patient use1
- 28 days intermittent or 7 days continuous use1
- No added flow1
- Refill medication cup without opening the circuit1
- 6 mL cup1
- Can be placed at the wye or at the humidifier1
