How Might Choice of Salbutamol Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) Type and Use of a Spacer Impact Drug Delivery and Emissions - Best for the Patient and Environment

As current MDIs contain hydrofluorocarbon propellants, it would be beneficial to find ways to reduce carbon emissions without compromising patient safety.

This lab study investigated a way to optimize the modelled lung dose per actuation while at the same time minimizing the carbon emissions from the MDI

Inspiratory Profiles from Volunteer Adults who Have Read the Patient Instructions for Use for Two Passive Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs) Compared with those from a Pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler with Valved Holding Chamber (pMDI+VHC)

This study was presented at the Drug Delivery to the Lungs, 2022.

Using Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) to Compare Predicted Airway Deposition Between Pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI) with AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu* Valved Holding Chamber (VHC) and Two Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs) in a COPD patient

This study was presented at the Drug Delivery to the Lungs Conference, 2022.

Maximizing the benefit from the inhaler in order to minimize carbon footprint.

Depending on the pMDI/spacer system chosen the delivery of medication can vary significantly and as a result will have implications on the potential carbon footprint.

In this case, the use of the AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu* VHC could potentially reduce the carbon footprint by three fold compared to the alternative spacers.

By maximizing the amount of each puff reaching the lungs the patient is likely to be able to get relief sooner and reduce the amount of puffs needed.

Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs) vs Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) with Valved Spacer : Using Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) to Assess Modelled Lung Deposition in a COPD patient

  • The FRI deposition profiles highlight that the MDI/AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu* VHC delivered a significantly greater percentage of drug to the lung region than either of the two DPIs, irrespective of flow rate.
  • This was reflected in much higher modelled oropharyngeal deposition for the two DPIs.
  • The influence of inhalation flow profile was significant for one of the DPIs.
