4.1.2.5. Distribution of saline in the lungs. One study assessed the distribution
of instilled saline in the lungs [29]. In that study, a radiolabeled
saline solution was applied with a nebulizer or via direct instillation.
Although 72.9% of the instilled saline reached the lungs, this rate was determined
to be lower with nebulization (55.6%); however, this difference
was not statistically significant. In addition, 63% of the instilled saline
reached the lower lobe of the right lung, but the fluid applied with nebulization
was distributed equally both within the lungs and between the
lungs [29].

4.2.1. Characteristics of the participants
All of the nurses included in our study were female, with a median
age of 27.0 years (22-38 years). Most of the nurses (87.7%) had a
bachelor's degree, and the average intensive care experience was 3
years (Table 3).
