We have moved away from nebulisers and use spacers for MDI therapy or direct within an MDI adaptor within ventilator circuits for routine treatment with bronchodilators or steroid based preventatives for several years now. It tends to be more by exception that nebulisers would be used for a small patient group. Spacers are given to patients at discharge or in some clinics can be purchased.

HI,
To minimize the risk of generating aerosols caused by using small volume nebulizer (SVN), we recommend users to use spacer devices as far as possible. And if SVN is used, because it is a single use device (SUD), it is dedicated for this patient. When patient is discharged, we discard it.
Regards,
