N2 - Charge carried by the particles of a therapeutic aerosol may play an important role in lung deposition. A predictive lung deposition model, which accounts for the depositional effect of charge on aerosol particles, has been developed to assess the performance of clinical nebulisers with regard to total and regional deposition. Efficient and controlled delivery of therapeutic agents to the tracheobronichial and alveolar regions can be achieved by optimizing both the physical properties of the aerosol and the breathing pattern.
