Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bland aerosol therapy can lead to bronchospasm, especially in patients with reactive airway disease, due to the cooling or drying effect of the aerosol. Overhydration is a risk when excessive amounts of fluid are inhaled, particularly in patients with compromised lung function. Infection risk increases due to potential contamination of the aerosol solution or equipment. Hemoconcentration is not typically associated with bland aerosol therapy.
