What is a nebulizer and how to use it

Medquip : How to use a nebulizer

In continuation of the two (the false croup and obstruction), I want to say a few words about the instrument, helping to cope with these two diseases - nebulizer.

Under the action of the air jets under pressure or ultrasonic nebulizer converts mist formulations to deliver the drug directly to where it is needed - the respiratory tract.

Since in this case the contact area gets more medicine gets into the bloodstream faster than if administered orally. This is important for the same obstruction when the attack should be removed as quickly as possible.

Nebulizers are compressor, ultrasonic and mesh nebulizers (membrane). Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.

Compressor nebulizers, in my opinion, are the only drawback - noise, which can be frightened child. But they can vary the particle size and to fill any solution intended for inhalation. About the solutions themselves will be discussed later.

Ultrasonic nebulizers are silent, but they can not be poured hormones, antibiotics and destroyed by ultrasound. So treat false croup or obstruction, alas, will not work.

The only negative mesh nebulizers - price.

Nebulizers differ in the type of management: synchronized with breath and upravleyamye special button. Both help to reduce the loss of the drug to a minimum, but the latter is not suitable for small children due to the complexity - even adults have long prinorovlivatsya a similar method of breathing.

Now what can and can not pour into the nebulizer chamber.

All drugs that are used must be officinal (not official, namely officinal, ie approval for sale in pharmacies and designed for inhalation). It bronchodilators (the most common Flomax), hormones (the same Pulmicort), antibiotics (Fluimucil, etc.). The remaining drugs are used not so often, so I will not mention them in this article. All medicines for inhalation divorced saline. Do not mineral water not miramistinom and similar drugs - only saline! Saline should always be sterile. Bank with a needle stuck in it from the syringe must not be for weeks - in saline solution under such conditions can be got anything. And is saline ampoules are not so expensive.

I already wrote about the mineral water, I want to repeat:

The microparticles contained in the mineral water, "abate" the cilia of the bronchi, swelling and inflammation from this could worsen. I do not know why our Russian doctors recommend to add inhaler mineral water - probably, this recommendation remains from the time when at the rump and upper respiratory tract diseases recommended alkaline water. Probably, but then we decided that it is possible to breathe. In addition, mineral water - hypotonic solution, can cause bronchospasm, further exacerbating the obstruction. mineral water is (scientifically called metal ions and salts) can form insoluble complexes with drugs. That is, they not only do their dirty work by irritating the mucous membrane, but also dramatically reduce drug activity

How To: Use a Nebulizer

I asked: "What's all the same solution is mineral water - hypo- or hypertonic?" Members themselves and responded to it, for which I am very grateful to them. In addition, I found more information that gipretonichesky solution may cause pulmonary edema.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of fans poured into the nebulizer decoctions and infusions of hay of various herbs, essential oils. There are those who manage to be dissolved in a solution of crushed tablets. This is done in any case it is impossible! I said nothing about not officinal preparations: they know exactly the content of the substance in 1 ml. How is it in your homemade tincture - no one knows. Furthermore, light is no "application point" receptors, wherever "hay" cling and could start working, it is not perceived by the mucosa. Also, many herbal teas and infusions quite allergic, can, under predisposition, even cause an asthma attack.

Essential Masta - is generally a masterpiece. Imagine oil mist? Imagine how it fills all the small bronchi, alveoli and anywhere otuda not going away? Then the experimenters are surprised: "Well, we inhale de-ee-Lali why we suddenly pneumonia?" The answer is simple: because you yourself have arranged an oil pneumonia - a serious disease that is difficult to treat.

Remember, oil and herbs used for inhalation is possible, but only in steam inhalers!

By the way, in everyday myth that you can not use a nebulizer at a temperature - no more than a myth. In contrast to the steam nebulizer inhaler, the air is not hot, and if a child, for example, temperature, and there was cereal, then no inhalation can not do. nebulizer use can and should, if necessary.

Finally, about disinfection and handling. Read the instructions in your device, there should be all written! For conventional purification nebulizer can soak in soapy water for 15-20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. To sterilize some of the details can be boiled, those parts that can not be boiled, soaked in hydrogen peroxide commonplace for half an hour. You can ask the pharmacy a special disinfecting solution, now they are many. The main thing then - thoroughly rinse the nebulizer from the disinfecting solution residues.

Do not get sick and be healthy!

We thank the paramedic station accident and emergency, for such a useful and detailed material.
