Routine use of nebulized adrenaline, systemic or inhaled corticosteroids, leukotriene receptor antagonists and
Heliox is not recommended (30, 35).

heliox (80% He/20% O2)," Journal of Experimental Biology, vol.
Heliox, an 80/20 mixture of helium and oxygen, due to lower gas density makes airflow more laminar, which reduces work of breathing in AEs of COPD therefore improving therapy tolerance [56] In healthy individuals, this gas mixture increases aerosol deposition in peripheral lung tissue, reducing its deposition in the upper airways.
The charging stations were provided by
Heliox. The buses can carry up to 85 passengers and are equipped with an electric motor and lithium-ion batteries.
Heliox, which consists of 80% helium, is theorized to be effective in the treatment of asthma by increasing laminar flow and increasing the delivery of medications to the alveoli.

Heliox for croup in children," The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, vol.
We describe here two cases of postextubation stridor who failed medical therapy and were successfully managed with the combination of 80% helium and 20% oxygen (i.e.,
heliox) delivered with bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP).
Recommendations for the use of exogenous surfactant and
heliox therapy are presented in Table 2.
Anaesthetist Dr Tom Dolphin said using helium in balloons was a "colossal waste" of the element, which is used in MRI scanners and mixed with oxygen to make
Heliox to aid people who have difficult breathing.
