Actuating the pMDI into a small-volume nonelectrostatic VHC during exhalation reduced by 11% the amount of fluticasone captured at the exit of the VHC. Asthmatic children (5-8 years old) need three or less breaths to empty the small-volume VHC (NCT01714063).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
