Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]

, 2005
Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.

Performance of Large Spacer Versus Nebulizer T-Piece in Single-Limb Noninvasive Ventilation

Respiratory care, 2018
BACKGROUND: Predosing patients with COPD with salbutamol by using a pressurized metered-dose-inhaler (pMDI) as a bronchodilator was hypothesized to improve the distribution of the subsequent nebulized dose.
