Abstract:
To ensure the pulmonary absorption of medicines a developing technologist may choose from among several alternative possibilities. In the medical practice sprays made by mechanical spraying are of great importance. In this study depositions of fine mists made by OMRON ultrasonic nebulizer in Kirk Model apparatus were investigated. The absorption of sodium chloride (0.9% w/v) and theophylline (0.108 w/v) were monitored by chloride selective electrode and UV spectrophotometry, respectively. The aim of the study was to investigate how the nebulizer influences the deposition of medical mists. The results show that appropriate mist and ventillation produced by the OMRON nebulizer ensure the absorption of the medicines in the lung.

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...
