Core Tip Many interfaces exist for aerosol drug delivery to spontaneously breathing children and inhala-tion therapy with different interfaces has become an impor-tant topic of interest among clinicians. However, clini-cians usually focus on selecting the right drug-device combination and often overlook the importance of interface selection that lead to suboptimal drug delivery and therapeutic response in neonates and pediatrics. This paper provides a critical assessment of drug delivery interfaces used for the treatment of children with pulmonary diseases by emphasizing advantages and problems associated with their use during inhalation therapy.
