Ventilation aerosol therapy (a combination of intermittent positive pressure artificial respiration with aerosol therapy) produces a mechanical support for the breathing, achieves an effective aerosol action and promotes expectoration. It makes possible an effective treatment of inflammatory and obstructive bronchopulmonary diseases. The expense of apparatus and personnel for this method of treatment can only become rational and more economical for the large number of outpatients and hospitalized patients by taking advantage of a special department. The functional areas of such a ventilation aerosol department should be: outpatient department for artificial respiration, bedside artificial respiration and aerosol, ward for ventilation aerosol therapy and ventilation aerosol therapy under supervision and intensive care.
