Study Notes
Aerosol Manufacture
- Liquid droplet aerosols are a type of aerosol manufactured for therapeutic purposes.
Nebulizers
- Nebulizers are a suitable therapeutic choice in certain situations.
- There are three types of nebulizers: jet nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers, and mesh nebulizers.
- Jet nebulizers use compressed gas to create aerosols.
- Ultrasonic nebulizers use high-frequency sound waves to create aerosols.
- Mesh nebulizers use a vibrating mesh to create aerosols.
- Formulation considerations are important when using nebulizers, including factors such as particle size and distribution.
- Performance and drawbacks of nebulizers vary, with some limitations including the effect of bolus and inhalation rate in vivo.
Learn about the different types of aerosol manufacture, including liquid droplet aerosols, and nebulizers, such as jet, ultrasonic, and mesh nebulizers.
