This was used to determine if an endotracheal tube or a tracheostomy tube is more effective at delivering aerosol deposition. A lung model with a T-piece and a tracheostomy collar. This is set up with a teaching manikin who is intubated with an endotracheal tube and a tracheostomy tube. The left and right main stem bronchi of the lungs are then attached to a collecting filter. This apparatus was then attached to a sinusoidal pump which is used to stimulate breathing, it was set at a breathing rate of 20 breaths a minute. The T-piece which is an open T-piece connects the endotracheal tube to another tube where aerosol will be administered from a jet nebulizer. The other model that was used in this experiment is a lung model with a manual resuscitation bag. This model starts out by using a manual resuscitation bag which is attached to tubing that is connected to a jet nebulizer connecting to a T-piece which is attached to the airway. The T-piece is attached by using an endotracheal tube and a tracheostomy tube. The breaths were then delivered by the manual resuscitation bag. It is important to know how to be able to set up these apparatuses. Now that I have read this article and reviewed the illustrations provided on these models I have a better understanding on how these models are set up and what they look like. Therefore, Now that I know how the setups look and how they
