A Retrospective Observational Study of Vibrating Mesh Nebulizers in the Pediatric Emergency Department
VMN use in the pediatric ED was associated with a lower total albuterol dose per patient as well as a shorter time to disposition. It did not change the odds of admission, admission to the ICU, unplanned transfers to the ICU after admission, or returns to the ER within 72 hours of discharge.
