Use of the Inspiron nebuliser during continuous positive airway pressure ventilation. 1991

Birmingham Accident Hospital.

The Inspiron Nebuliser 002305 with air entrainment was assessed as a gas delivery device in a continuous positive airway pressure system. Inspired oxygen concentrations, total gas flows and pressures within the system were measured over a range of settings, with and without positive and expiratory pressure. Inspired oxygen concentrations and total flows were completely disrupted when a positive and expiratory pressure valve was applied, and the system failed to generate continuous positive airway pressure. We would not therefore recommend the Inspiron nebuliser as a gas delivery system for continuous positive airway pressure.

D011175 Positive-Pressure Respiration A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.

D011312 Pressure A type of stress exerted uniformly in all directions. Its measure is the force exerted per unit area. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Pressures
D012119 Respiration The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration ( Breathing
