Key Points

The aim is to assess compliance with evidence-based aerosol therapy guidelines and related costs in critically-ill patients.
Conducted a prospective observational analysis in an intensive care unit
Monitored adherence to aerosol therapy guidelines among healthcare staff
Analyzed patient outcomes and associated costs related to aerosol therapy
Found significant improvements in patient outcomes with higher guideline adherence
Observed a reduction in ICU expenditures linked to optimized therapy compliance
Identified the need for ongoing staff training and protocol standardization

Abstract

Targeted interventions, protocol standardization, and staff training are needed to enhance compliance, optimize patient care, and control aerosol-related expenditures. Clinically, these findings highlight that adherence to evidence-based aerosol therapy not only enhances patient outcomes but also reduces ICU expenditure, thereby supporting integration into routine clinical practice.
