Abstract
The variety of devices for administering supplemental oxygen and aeros olized drugs for hospital inpatients allows physicians to tailor the t herapy to patient's needs, but presents a challenge in determining whi ch device is best for the individual patient. We describe the selectio n process, appropriate use, and the advantages and disadvantages of va rious devices.
