o o o o o Factors influencing nebulization efficiency Size of the particles Aerosol generator Ventilator circuit Ventilator settings Type and severity of lung lesions
Particles deposition in the airways is directly related to their size OPC Bronchi Deep lung compartment Size >5 µm Size 2-5 µm Size 1-3 µm Size <1 µm: droplets exhaled with expiratory gases
Jet nebulizers Aerosol generated by gas either continuously (wall system), or during inspiration (gas flow from the ventilator). Although particles size are usually small, it can vary from one brand to another. May interfere with tidal volume delivering.
Ultrasonic nebulizers May degrade heat-sensitive drugs
Vibrating-mesh nebulizers Potentials advantages: Aerosol generated by the vibration of an aperture plate Droplet size is small and very well calibrated Antibiotic solution is not heated the aerosol generation can be synchronized with inspiration minimizing aerosol waste during exhalation.

Nebulizing antibiotics in the ICU: Doing a better job Ehrmann S., et al. Ann Intensive Care. 2017 Dec;7(1):78 1. Use a checklist. Ensure adequate staff training. 2. Use an ultrasonic or mesh-vibrating nebulizer. 3. Use specific formulations for inhalation. 4. Position the nebulizer (continuous delivery) upstream in the inspiratory limb at 15 40 cm of the Y-piece. 5. Remove the HME during nebulization; if using a heated humidifier, switch it off. 6. Use volume-controlled, low RR, low inspiratory flow MV. 7. Place a new filter between the expiratory limb and the ventilator. 8. Monitor patients closely during the nebulization, particularly in regard to airway pressure, arterial pressure and SaO2. 9. Resume humidification at the end of the nebulization.

Clin Infect Dis. 2016 Sep 1;63(5):e61-e111 Recommendation For patients with VAP due to GNB that are susceptible to only aminoglycosides or polymyxins, we suggest both inhaled and systemic antibiotics, rather than systemic antibiotics alone (weak recommendation, very low-quality evidence).
