Abstract
Some of the COVID-19 patients required an intensive care unit admission, additionally an aerosol delivery is an important treatment method in this type of patient. The present mini-review describes the best aerosol delivery method in this type of patients. Additionally, the different delivery methods of aerosol, and the best placement of the aerosol which allows the best delivery was discussed in this paper.
