title: Nurses' knowledge of nebulised therapy.
abstract: Nebulisers are commonly used in the management of chronic obstructive airways disease. A survey was therefore conducted to ascertain what nurses knew about this form of therapy. Several areas of deficient knowledge were revealed, including how to clean the equipment properly, what the flow rate of gas should be and what type of gas to use. A standardised protocol for nebuliser therapy is included.
