We connected the syringe holding canister using Luer lock to elbow connector. The drug being delivered during the onset of inspiration tends to travel with the flow right into the airways, and with the inspiratory hold maneuver, the drug is retained in the smaller airways during the maneuver so as to maximize the delivery as well as the therapeutic effect of the drug. We are routinely using syringe‐actuated MDIs in our ventilated COVID‐19 patients in whom the nebulizers are not considered safe due to the risk of infection transmission to the health care staff.
