A national survey of nebuliser use.
Nebuliser drug delivery units were reused in 15% of paediatric wards participating in a national survey, while routine servicing and written information was provided by only half the wards issuing home nebulisers. Written information should be developed as a national resource, and further research on optimal cleaning practices is required.
