Summary

To compare lung deposition of amikacin in two settings: spontaneously breathing through a tracheostomy cannula and through the mouth.

Conditions

  • Tracheostomized Patients

Interventions

OTHER

Nebulization through the tracheostomy

Each subject received two nebulization sessions under spontaneous breathing in a sitting position. The first session was performed prior to tracheostomy removal. During the first nebulization, subjects inhaled the aerosol through the tracheostomy, cuff inflated and inner cannula removed.

OTHER

Nebulization through the mouth

Each subject received two nebulization sessions under spontaneous breathing in a sitting position. The second nebulization was performed when the tracheostome was totally scarred. During the second nebulization, subjects inhaled the aerosol a mouth piece and wore a nose clip.
