Asthma therapy and a tracheostomy

J Laryngol Otol. 1989 Apr;103(4):427-8. doi: 10.1017/s0022215100109168.

Abstract

A spacer device was modified to deliver aerosols of beclomethasone diproprionate, ipratropium and bromide salbutamol, to an asthmatic child with a tracheostomy, where symptoms were poorly controlled with nebulized therapy. This resulted in a marked improvement in symptoms and a dramatic reduction in the time spent administering drugs.
