Ecological footprint of salbutamol administration by metered-dose inhaler versus nebulisation in acute asthma: a life-cycle assessment
Considering the absence or minimal difference in clinical effectiveness, this study suggests that nebulisation may be a more eco-efficient administration route than MDIs in the emergency treatment of asthma.<b>Trail registration:</b> N/A.
