How is a aerosols are administered?

Aerosols are administered through inhalation devices that convert liquid medication into a fine mist or spray, allowing it to be inhaled directly into the lungs. Common methods include metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), which release a specific dose of medication with a pressurized spray, and nebulizers, which generate a continuous mist for patients to breathe in over a longer period. The choice of device often depends on the patient's age, ability to use the device, and the specific medication being delivered. Proper technique is essential for effective delivery and therapeutic outcomes.
