Evaluation of nebulisers for bronchial challenge tests

J N Tsanakas et al. Arch Dis Child. 1987 May.

Abstract

The reproducibility of the output of seven different nebulisers was tested. Nebulisers with a minimal increase in output at higher flow rates had less variability in the output. The selection of a nebuliser for bronchial provocation tests depends on the intranebuliser variability. Two nebulisers had highly reproducible outputs.
