➡️ What is an Aerosol?
An Aerosol is a term that describes particles or liquid droplets that can be dispersed in air or gas. As a Respiratory Therapist, it's common to administer certain Aerosol Medications to patients in need. As these types of drugs are delivered as an aerosol, it allows for inhalation into the airways of the lungs to promote bronchodilation, relieve mucosal edema, and loosen thick secretions.

➡️ What is Aerosol Output?
Aerosol Output is a term that refers to the total mass or weight of the particles that are produced by a nebulizer, or any type of aerosol generator, for dispersion. In general, the aerosol output will vary greatly depending on the drug delivery system that is used.

➡️ Some Examples Include:
1. Nebulizers
2. Metered-dose inhalers
3. Dry-powder inhalers

➡️ How Can You Measure Aerosol Output?
The output is measured by collecting an aerosol particle on a filter once it is dispersed and analyzing the weight or quantity. If you measure the weight, this is referred to as the Gravimetric Analysis, which is typically less reliable because of the weight changes that occur due to evaporation. Analyzing the quantity is a more reliable way of measuring aerosol output. It's important to keep in mind that a large proportion of aerosol particles never make it to the lungs due to deposition in the back of the throat or in the larger airways. This could be due to the aerosol particle size, or to the patient's breathing pattern. As a practitioner, understanding how to control these variables is important for improving the overall delivery of aerosol therapy to your patients.
