This book assesses the most appropriate forms of aerosol therapy
for critically ill patients. Aerosol therapy is applied for the
treatment of several pulmonary diseases in addition to some
promising applications intended for systemic absorption. Nowadays,
aerosol delivery to clinically stable patients in the outpatient
settings is done easily with a lot of focus on patient counseling
and enhancement of lung deposition. A lot of guidelines are
available for several diseases and it could offer adequate guidance
to the therapists concerning escalation or de-escalation of therapy
to enhance treatment efficiency and safety. However, in critically
ill patients aerosol delivery is mostly done by the choice of the
respiratory therapist only according to his knowledge. The book
describes the type of patients requiring aerosol therapy, different
aerosol generators available for the treatment of critically ill
patients, mechanisms of aerosol lung deposition, and factors
affecting aerosol deposition. It also discusses the special needs
of neonates and infants, transitioning aerosol from hospital to
home, and the methods of aerosol delivery to different patient e.g.
nasal delivery patients, ventilated patients, etc. Moreover, it
reviews methods of detecting such aerosol delivery to the lung. At
the end, it discusses the suggested monitoring plans and weaning
protocols to ensure high efficacy and safety of the ventilatory
support in such patients. Given its scope, the book can serve as
guidelines or specific recommendations to maximize clinical
benefits of medicated aerosols in critically ill patients and it
represents a valuable resource for intensivists, pulmonologists and
healthcare professionals working at ICUs.
