Nebulizer choice for inhaled colistin treatment in cystic fibrosis
Abstract
Study objectives:To develop practical ways of nebulizing colistin by determining the rate of drug output, total drug output, and particle-size distribution of two commercially available jet nebulizers, the disposable Hudson 1730 Updraft II (Hudson Respiratory Care; Temecula, CA) and the reusable Pari LC Star breath-enhanced nebulizer (Pari Respiratory Equipment; Midlothian, VA).
Methods:The nebulizers contained colistin, 75 mg, in 4 mL of isotonic solution. Particle-size distribution was measured by helium-neon laser diffraction, allowing calculation of the respirable fraction (RF), the mass of aerosol comprised of droplets < 5 microm.
Results:The mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) total rate of output of the Updraft II was 2.6 mg/min (2.0, 3.1; n = 4) with 1.3 mg/min (1.0, 1.5) mg/min within the RF. The rate of output of the LC Star increased in a quadratic relationship to the inspiratory flow, delivering 1.8 mg/min (0.7, 2.0; n = 4) with 1.4 mg/min (1.3, 1.6) within the RF, and 6.2 mg/min (5.6, 6.8) with 5.3 mg/min (4.8, 5.7) within the RF, at 0 L/min and 20 L/min inspiratory flows, respectively. Efficiency, as the rate of expected pulmonary deposition divided by rate of total output, was then calculated. The LC Star estimated 56% (51, 61) efficiency, with pulmonary delivery of 29% (26, 32) of the charge of the nebulizer, compared to the Updraft II at 22% (22, 23) efficiency and expected pulmonary deposition of 10% (10, 10) of the dose.
Conclusions:Colistin can be successfully nebulized with both nebulizers tested. This study provides an estimate of in vivo efficiency and expected pulmonary deposition that may be used in future trials.
