| Popis: | Nebulization therapy is an approach for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma which was not anticipated in the international recommendations for the treatment of asthma and which merits study. Even if the place of nebulizers in the treatment of asthma exacerbations has been validated, this is not the case for adult asthmatic subjects with chronic asthma. While asthma control for most patients can be achieved using metered-dose inhaler and dry powder inhaler therapy, some patients may require regular home nebulized therapy.Before determining the objectives and therapeutic characteristics of nebulization in the treatment of chronic asthma in the adult patient, we shall first describe the pathophysiological elements involved in the treatment of asthma and of the couple ‘nebulized substance-nebulizer’ leading to an optimal nebulization. |
