	Bibliography

Nebuhaler has been used effectively in both adults and children and gives lung deposition at least equal to that of a correctly-used pMDI.   1.  Newman SP, et al. Thorax 1984; 39: 935–41    2.  Pool JB, et al. Arch Dis Childhood 1988; 63: 288–91  1. Newman SP, et al. Thorax 1984; 39: 935–41   This study, conducted in nine adult patients with obstructive lung disease, showed that Nebuhaler provided lung deposition of metered dose aerosols comparable to or greater than a correctly-used inhaler. Moreover, oropharyngeal deposition was greatly reduced.   2. Pool JB, et al. Arch Dis Childhood 1988; 63: 288–91   This study examined the use of terbutaline (Bricanyl) administered via Nebuhaler to patients aged 2–5 and 5–7 years. Terbutaline (Bricanyl) delivered via Nebuhaler, provided effective bronchodilation even in very young children.
