Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Intervention
Metered dose inhalers versus nebulizers for aerosol bronchodilator delivery for adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation in critical care units
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:
To compare nebulizers to MDIs for bronchodilator delivery for invasively ventilated critically ill adult patients in terms of physiological response and patient outcomes. Subgroup analyses are planned according to other ventilation and bronchodilation strategies, ventilator settings and administration variables.
