TERAPIA INHALADA. TEORÍA Y PRÁCTICA
º Se recomienda un volumen de llenado de 4 ml, la utilización de un flujo de gas de 6-8 l/min, inhalar por la boca y no utilizar mascarillas cuando se nebulizan glucocorticoides o anticolinérgicos (usar pieza bucal). º La nebulización continua de broncodilatadores puede resultar superior a la intermitente en aquellos pacientes con crisis graves de asma.
