Abstract
Aerosol therapy is complex, especially in young children, and can only succeed when the physician has detailed knowledge about: aerosol characteristics of the various aerosol delivery systems; the pathophysiology of the lung disease; the skills of the patient in various age groups. Only when this knowledge is available the appropriate delivery device for the child can be selected and the proper instructions can be given. Most aerosol delivery devices are not primarily developed for use in children. Particle size characteristics of most delivery systems are suboptimal for children since they deliver only a low mass of extra fine aerosol particles.
