Jim is presently a Fellow in Respiratory Science at Aerogen, Inc. in
Sunnyvale,
CA. Jim has been
widely published in aerosol delivery systems, and has chaired the
Asthma Consortium in Chicago. His informative presentation at last year’s ALA
Teaching Day on “Bronchodilator Rescue in the ED" was well received, and we
look forward to his expertise in implementing successful community asthma
coalitions.
Jim has taken an active interest in clinical applications of aerosols, over
the last three decades. Jim has served as participating author in the AARC
Clinical Practice Guidelines on Aerosols and the more recent Consensus
Conference on Aerosols and Delivery Devices.
His research interests range from aerosol delivery during mechanical
ventilation to proper device selection and training for patients at home.
Heliox and Aerosols in the ICU
A

and an exploration of evidence supporting newer therapeutic approaches, with
emphasis on the role of Helium Oxygen during mechanical ventilation and
continuous nebulization.
