Administering aerosol therapy to children can be challenging

Nebulisers, pressurised metered-dose inhalers, soft mist inhalers, and dry powder inhalers are the cornerstone of aerosol therapy in children.²

Device Choice

Appropriate device choice is necessary based on the patient’s age, tolerance and acceptance of the interface (mouthpiece, facemask, hood, etc.) during treatment.^2,3

Emotional distress

On presentation, children may be crying or in respiratory distress, which may negatively impact the dose delivered during inhaled therapy.^2,4

Technique

Correct technique by the child or caregiver is required to successfully administer medication.^2,3

Improving patient care in response to aerosolised medication^1,5

In studies, when compared with jet nebulisers (JN), bronchodilator administration via Aerogen Ultra was associated with:

In children with a moderate-to-severe asthma exacerbation:

Significantly fewer treatments and significantly less time required to achieve symptom control^†1

In patients in an emergency department:

~30% relative reduction in hospital admission rates⁵
85% of patients achieved symptom control with one 2.5 mg salbutamol dose⁵
37-minute reduction in emergency department median length of stay⁵

Aerogen supports effective medication delivery across multiple respiratory modalities^6-11

In studies, ~4x more drug deposition was achieved with Aerogen during invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV),^‡6,7 non-invasive ventilation (NIV)^§8and high-flow (HF),⁹ and ~6x more drug deposition when self-ventilating (SV)¹⁰ versus JN
