Abstract
Nebulisation offers a stress free method for the administration of medications in a form that, in the Flexineb neduliser, enables droplets of <5 µm in 67% of the total droplets produced (when using 0.9% sodium chloride) to enter into the lung tissue and deliver the active ingredient directly to the source of inflammation/constriction. Nebulisation offers delivery of a number of different types of medication to all species. Nebulisation can be used to humidify air in cases of tracheostomy and aspiration pneumonia.
