Dose delivery of hydrofluoroalkane-beclomethasone and chlorofluorocarbon-beclomethasone was compared during in vitro neonatal simulations: mechanical ventilation with 40% and 100% relative humidity + Neonatal Chamber-Ventilator System/endotracheal tube; manual ventilation + Neonatal Chamber/endotracheal tube; "spontaneous breathing" + Neonatal Chamber/face mask without/with manual assistance. The delivery of hydrofluoroalkane-beclomethasone was significantly greater in each simulation.

Abbreviations: CFC-BDP, chlorofluorocarbon-beclomethasone dipropionate; HFA-BDP, hydrofluoroalkane-beclomethasone dipropionate

Keywords: aerosol therapy; inhalants; glucocorticoid; bronchopulmonary dysplasia
