These funds will assist the Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator in developing representative test platforms for evaluation of devices and patient interfaces used to administer medical gases and aerosols. Use of gases in medicine comprises specialized applications in anesthesia, critical care, lung imaging, and diagnosis of respiratory disease, as well as administration of supplemental oxygen throughout the continuum of care - from home to hospital to emergency settings. Aerosol drug delivery is widespread in the treatment of respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis.

这些资金将帮助主要研究者和合作研究者开发具有代表性的测试平台，用于评估用于管理医用气体和气雾剂的设备和患者界面。 气体在医学中的应用包括麻醉、重症监护、肺部成像和呼吸系统疾病诊断的专业应用，以及从家庭到医院再到急诊室的整个护理过程中的辅助供氧。 气雾剂药物递送广泛用于治疗呼吸系统疾病，包括哮喘、慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）和囊性纤维化。
