ABSTRACT
The variety of devices for administering supplemental oxygen and aerosolized drugs for hospital inpatients allows physicians to tailor the therapy to patient’s needs, but presents a challenge in determining which device is best for the individual patient. We describe the selection process, appropriate use, and the advantages and disadvantages of various devices.
