Nebulizer – what it is?
Inhaler nebulizer requires not only to those who suffer from the diseases of the lungs. It can be used for the prevention and treatment of seasonal diseases
Standard therapy is most often as follows: regardless of what hurts, the medicine is used orally or introduced as an injection. There it is synthesized by the liver, enters the bloodstream, and through it it falls into a body that requires treatment.
If it was possible to introduce a medicine directly to the sick body, the therapy would be more effective.
What helps the nebulizer?
To this end, the nebulizer was invented – a device, with which the medicine is delivered immediately to the affected organ, and specifically – in the respiratory tract. There it is quickly absorbed and effective therapy begins.
But this is not all that is capable of «Smart design». It is a medicine released in liquid form, turns into an aerosol.
First of all, nebulizers are intended to provide emergency care at the moment of exacerbation of diseases of the respiratory system, in particular – with bronchial asthma.
But it is also used in therapy for bronchiectasis, fibrosis, chronic obstructive lung diseases – COPD, for introducing expectorant and bronighting agents to Alveola.
The inhaler of this type is convenient and because it can be used to treat weakened patients and even children of the first year of life.
In what cases need nebulizers and what they are refilled?
Nebulizers are needed to those who suffer from bronchial asthma or holb. But they can be used not only for chronicles. Very good if there is an inhaler of this type at home, since no one is insured against seasonal diseases.
Nebulizers for treatment are used:
- cough of any kind;
- runny
- asthma;
- Faringitis and Larygitov.
You can purchase a nebulizer for the prevention of seasonal diseases of children attending kindergarten or nursery. If the nasal moves before visiting public places and after rinse with saline, then disease can be warned.
Children do not refuse to use the children’s inhaler, since in appearance special appliance for children resembles a children’s toy – their enclosures are made in the form of animals.
Compressor igner and device-MASS can be charged:
- Mulitics – ambroxol, acetylcysteine;
- hormones – bulvikort;
- fiz. solution;
- hypertensive solution;
- Kromegexal – the drug, to prevent allergies;
- Antibiotics.
Ultrasonic – only drugs produced in liquid forms.
Choosing nebulizer
How to choose a nebulizer to pay attention to, making a purchase?
Modern devices are divided into ultrasound, MASH and compressor.
But their main parameters are common:
- Capacity or reservoir. It shows how much the drug is placed in the nebulizer chamber. It should be borne in mind that when filling the reservoir, not all medicine turns into an aerosol, there remains some amount in liquid form. In order for the medication to be used as much as possible to the required dose, it is desirable to add saline. The more the reservoir, the more effective the work of the device will be;
- Design performance. This parameter shows how much an aerosol comes out of the nebulizer for a minute. Having at hand a device with high performance, the procedure can be cope in a short time. Particularly important is the record of this parameter if the nebulizer is bought for a child.
When the container is charged, it is required not only to pay attention to the dose recommended by the doctor. Need to consider how much the drug is sprayed into the environment and will remain after the procedure in the tank, and focus on these losses.
What is the difference between nebulizers?
In a nebulizer aerosol ultrasound, the aerosol is formed when the piezoelectric plates vibration. He is silent, small.
But he has cons:
- heats up during operation;
- It is not intended for spraying antibiotics, suspensions and mucolithics, that is, high viscosity preparations.
Inhaler of a wide range of action, compressor nebulizer sprays medicinal substances of various types without damage.
It can be filled with drugs:
- in liquid form;
- in oil;
- Alcohol solutions.
With their help you can carry out aromatherapy.
The aerosol is formed using air injection. Design inexpensive, but it has a minus – it works quite noisy.
Mess-Nebulizers – Electronic Inhalers. In them, the drug when transforming into an aerosol passes through a vibrating plate-sieve. They have several modes of operation – microparticles of medicinal substances are obtained from different values - silent, they can refuel medications from various shapes.
If ultrasound and compressor inhalers need to be kept always vertically, then MASS inhalers are functioning at any angle.
The minuses of this design include: frequent clogging of the grid, especially if the device was refueling suspension, and high cost.
Cannot say, What is better from nebulizers, and what worse. When purchased, they are focused on the functionality, for whom the inhaler is intended, and, of course, at its price.
How to use nebulizer
Treatment using an inhaler-nebulizer will be effective only when it is used correctly:
- The refueling of the device is carried out only before inhalation using a sterile syringe;
- The saline, used as a solvent, must also be sterile;
- The device reservoir is required to be filled in full;
- If the nebulizer is used compressor, then the operation mode is set automatically. In the instruments of the Mass-design, it is recommended to set the mode in which the working gas passes at a speed of up to 10 l / min. With this mode of aerosol particles entering bronchi. Have optimal dimensions;
- After the procedure is completed, the device must be rinsed. If several people enjoy one device, it is required to disinfect.
If non-electronic neelectrum neglezer, then during the procedure it is required to sit.
If the inhaler tilt, it will not function:
- Breathe required through the mouth, deep and slow. If the mask is found during the inhalation, it should fit tightly to the face;
- Before each exhalation and inhale, it is desirable for a couple of seconds breathing to delay;
- If antibiotics or steroid drugs were used as a drug, after the procedure it is necessary to wash and rinse the oral cavity.
You can only refuel the inhaler with the drug that was appointed by the doctor. Even if you need to stop the attack of asthma, Eufillin does not apply. It is not adapted for spraying.
In some cases, it is possible to inhale the prednisal and hydrocortisone, but it must be borne in mind – their action will still be systemic. Therefore, it will be easier to make injection.
Inhalation of herbal decoctions with a nebulizer is not held. They can clog the device and cause a cough attack – the herbal suspension particles are too large, and inhalation with herbs therefore are carried out in the usual way – with a pair.
The term of the smooth operation of the nebulizer cameras of various types from several months, up to 3 years. When processing the device, it is required to consider the type of construction – in some of them, for example, in Pari, the connecting tube will not boil.
When carrying out inhalation, it is necessary to protect the compressor from entering it fluid. If you store the nebulizer correctly, disassembled, it will last a long time.
