The most efficient and effective delivery method remains that recommended in the device IFU (one actuation inhaled at a time, as well inhalation as soon as possible after actuation)
However, this laboratory-based study has indicated that a modified common-canister protocol with an anti-static VHC as the aerosol transfer vehicle has the potential to be a viable ‘off-label’ proposition in hospital situations where there is an urgent need to conserve pMDI medication as well as avoid cross-contamination from pathogenic viruses or bacteria
More consistent dose delivery was achieved with the breath actuated technology rather than breath enhanced. Delivering medication only when the patient inhales would result in more stable therapy if I:E ratio was to change with disease< progression or if the patient took breaks to talk during treatment.
