It has also been observed that the distribution of the deposition sites of inhaled particles is strongly dependent on their aerodynamic diameters. ^(69){ }^{69} This SLR found that pMDIs generally produce at least medium-sized particles, with a significant rate of extrafine particles.

Another relevant outcome when using inhalation devices is the lung distribution pattern (through the central and peripheral regions). All inhalation devices have been shown to reach both central and peripheral areas. SMI data suggest that lung distribution pattern might be better than pMDIs, with a higher distribution in bronchial trees and peripheral regions. ^(11,28,49,60,65,66,73,74,82,95,96){ }^{11,28,49,60,65,66,73,74,82,95,96} More specifically, a comparative study found mean peripheral, intermediate and central lung deposition, and peripheral zone/ central zone ratio of 5.0%-9.4%,4.8%-11.3%,4.5%-5.0 \%-9.4 \%, 4.8 \%-11.3 \%, 4.5 \%-10.4%,1.01-1.1610.4 \%, 1.01-1.16 with Respimat ^((R)){ }^{(R)} vs 3.8%,4.9%,5.6%3.8 \%, 4.9 \%, 5.6 \%, 1.36 with pMDIs, respectively. ^(49){ }^{49} Comparative data between pMDIs and DPIs are conflicting. ^(33,46){ }^{33,46} 使用吸入装置的另一个相关结果是肺部分布模式(通过中心和外围区域)。所有吸入装置都已证明可到达中心和外周区域。SMI 数据表明,肺部分布模式可能优于 pMDIs,在支气管树和外周区域的分布较多。 ^(11,28,49,60,65,66,73,74,82,95,96){ }^{11,28,49,60,65,66,73,74,82,95,96} 更具体地说,一项比较研究发现,Respimat ^((R)){ }^{(R)} 与 pMDIs 的 3.8%,4.9%,5.6%3.8 \%, 4.9 \%, 5.6 \% 和 5.0%-9.4%,4.8%-11.3%,4.5%-5.0 \%-9.4 \%, 4.8 \%-11.3 \%, 4.5 \%-10.4%,1.01-1.1610.4 \%, 1.01-1.16 的平均外周、中间和中心肺沉积以及外周区/中心区比率分别为 5.0%-9.4%,4.8%-11.3%,4.5%-5.0 \%-9.4 \%, 4.8 \%-11.3 \%, 4.5 \%-10.4%,1.01-1.1610.4 \%, 1.01-1.16 和 3.8%,4.9%,5.6%3.8 \%, 4.9 \%, 5.6 \% 和 1.36。 ^(49){ }^{49} pMDIs 和 DPIs 之间的比较数据相互矛盾。 ^(33,46){ }^{33,46}
Inspiratory Flow Rate 吸气流速
The other main focus of this project was the inspiratory flow rate. First, it is important to consider the factors associated with inspiratory flow rate (Table 4). Similar to lung deposition, some of these factors relate to the patient’s and COPD’s characteristics, while other factors relate to the inhaler device, such as the intrinsic resistance. ^(6,10,13-17,43,45,97,98){ }^{6,10,13-17,43,45,97,98} 本项目的另一个重点是吸气流速。首先,必须考虑与吸气流速相关的因素(表 4)。与肺沉积类似,其中一些因素与患者和慢性阻塞性肺病的特征有关,而其他因素则与吸入器装置有关,例如内在阻力。 ^(6,10,13-17,43,45,97,98){ }^{6,10,13-17,43,45,97,98}
Overall, two main driving forces can affect the performance of DPIs: the inspiratory flow generated by the patient and the turbulence produced inside the device, the latter of which solely depends on the original technical 总之,有两种主要驱动力会影响干粉吸入器的性能:患者产生的吸气流量和设备内部产生的湍流,后者完全取决于原始技术。

#
Conclusion 结论
I
The lung deposition profile and required inspiratory flow rate are key factors to be considered when selecting an inhalation device 在选择吸入装置时,肺沉积情况和所需的吸气流速是需要考虑的关键因素
2
COPD is a progressive disease with specific pathophysiological features that impact patients' lung deposition and inspiratory flow rate 慢性阻塞性肺病是一种进展性疾病,具有特定的病理生理特征,会影响患者的肺部沉积和吸气流速
3
In COPD patients, obstruction severity and especially hyperinflation are decisive pathophysiological factors 在慢性阻塞性肺病患者中,阻塞严重程度,尤其是过度充气是决定性的病理生理因素
4
During the course of COPD, some situations, notably exacerbations, impact the inspiratory flow rate 在慢性阻塞性肺病的治疗过程中,某些情况(尤其是病情加重)会影响吸气流速
5
An homogeneous drug distribution through the airways is essential, not only because of the COPD pathophysiology but also because of the different distribution of cholinergic and beta2\beta 2 receptors 由于慢性阻塞性肺病的病理生理学原因,以及胆碱能受体和 beta2\beta 2 受体的不同分布,在气道中均匀分布药物至关重要。
6
COPD treatment requires inhalation devices capable of delivering particles with a MMAD comprised between 0.5 and 5 mum\mu \mathrm{m} to achieve high lung deposition 慢性阻塞性肺病的治疗要求吸入设备能够输送 MMAD 在 0.5 到 5 mum\mu \mathrm{m} 之间的微粒,以实现高肺部沉积。
7
The patients' ability to perform a correct inhalation maneuver (inspiratory effort, coordination, etc.) is decisive to achieve an adequate inspiratory flow rate and lung deposition 患者做出正确吸气动作的能力(吸气力度、协调性等)对获得足够的吸气流速和肺部沉积起着决定性作用。
8
Inhalation maneuvers that are similar to physiological/standard inspiratory flow are more likely associated with reduced oropharyngeal deposition and therefore increased lung deposition 与生理/标准吸气流量相似的吸气动作更有可能导致口咽沉积减少,从而增加肺部沉积
9
Inhalation devices present different characteristics that define the required inspiratory flow rate and influence lung deposition 吸入装置具有不同的特性,这些特性决定了所需的吸气流速,并影响肺部沉积物
10
The inspiratory flow rate required for drug dispersion with a given DPI is inversely proportional to the intrinsic resistance of the DPI 使用特定干粉吸入器分散药物所需的吸气流速与干粉吸入器的固有阻力成反比
II
The faster the exit speed of the drug delivered from the device (initial acceleration of the inhalation maneuver by the patient or directly by the device), the greater the risk of oropharyngeal deposition and the lesser the lung deposition 从设备输送的药物出口速度越快(患者或设备直接对吸入动作进行初始加速),口咽部沉积的风险就越大,肺部沉积的风险就越小
12
The SMI requires a low inspiratory flow rate. Therefore, compared with other inhaler devices, when performing a correct maneuver, oropharyngeal deposition is lower and lung deposition is higher SMI 要求的吸气流速较低。因此,与其他吸入器装置相比,在进行正确操作时,口咽部沉积物较少,而肺部沉积物较多

The delivery of drugs by inhalation is an integral component in the treatment of COPD. A growing number of inhalation devices, whose designs and characteristics vary, have been engineered in recent years to treat COPD and other respiratory diseases. ^(111){ }^{111} Therefore, selecting the most appropriate device that meets each individual patient’s needs is vital in clinical practice. Several factors have been proposed that should be considered when choosing an inhalation device. These include the patient’s lung function, device handling, inhalation technique, and preferences. ^(8){ }^{8} However, according to a published expert opinion, the two most important characteristics for an inhaler used by patients with COPD are that the device permits a high pulmonary deposition of the drug and allows its delivery at low inspiratory flows. ^(9){ }^{9} 吸入给药是治疗慢性阻塞性肺病不可或缺的组成部分。近年来,用于治疗慢性阻塞性肺病和其他呼吸系统疾病的吸入装置越来越多,其设计和特性也各不相同。 ^(111){ }^{111} 因此,在临床实践中,选择最合适的设备以满足每个患者的需求至关重要。已经提出了在选择吸入装置时应考虑的几个因素。这些因素包括患者的肺功能、装置操作、吸入技术和偏好。 ^(8){ }^{8} 然而,根据已发表的专家意见,慢性阻塞性肺病患者使用的吸入器有两个最重要的特征,即吸入器允许药物在肺部高度沉积,并允许在低吸气流量下给药。 ^(9){ }^{9}
