Summary

Assessment of the effects of vibrating mesh nebulisation versus jet nebulisation on the electrical activity of the muscles involved in breathing (neural respiratory drive), breathing mechanics (respiratory impedance measured by forced oscillation technique), respiratory flow, heart rate and rhythm, spirometry and breathlessness symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who require non-invasive ventilation.

Conditions

  • COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
  • Non-invasive Ventilation

Interventions

DEVICE

Vibrating mesh nebulisation

Vibrating mesh nebulisation (VMN) uses a mesh membrane that oscillates at high frequency (typically 128kHz) to produce a stream of drug-carrying droplets of pre-determined size to be inhaled

DEVICE

Jet nebuliser

Jet nebulisers use the flow of a gas (air or oxygen) to draw medication up through a capillary tube to generate small particles to be inhaled.
