when i used 10% hts i tried it in my e-flow and thought i was going to die it was so strong, so i wouldn't recommend that..i also find the 7% is difficult to tolerate for more than 30 seconds if that long. i just use the pari with 7%because i don't have any 3% right now but my doc said its just fine to use the HTS in the e-flow, just be sure to wash it really well or even have a separate chamber to use just for hts, (but still wash it really well. i'm not sure that was all that helpful but thught i'd throw it out there!

Maybe I am getting some bad advice and I need to press this issue. I think my local doc would be in favor of it; so, I'll ask him to review the research. I just have other battles to fight right now and want to get through those before I tackle the next. I am glad to know there are many out there using it and finding benefits for it. I'll bring this up again next clinic visit<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Isn't it amazing the differing opinions of all the docs in the CF world on so many issues. Ughh!

I do all my meds in the e-flow, EXCEPT pulmozyme. It makes it "gunky" and then it doesn't work properly.
As far as the study drug (aztreonem<--spelling?). My clinic was very clear, that I was not to use it (e-flow) with anything else. So, I got my doc to give me a seperate neb, and I use that for everything else.
I do Pulmozyme in the side-stream with the pari compressor.
I use foundation care pharmacy, they give me free ABDECK vitamins with Tobi,Pulmozyme and HTS 7% (which I got used to after a while and don't cough so much anymore...think I need higher). They also do an e-flow pre-mixed collistin, but it is not reccommended by my doc...pre-mixed is no good.
I think the e-flow makes the intensity of the drug stronger. The "smoke" makes the drug so tiny, we absorb it more.
BEWARE, I did my pulmozyme in it for few weeks, and got big bleeds. I went back to the pari, haven't had a bleed since.
I love the e-flow!<img src="i/expressions/neb.gif" border="0">
