Treatment for a cough with Nebulizer gives an effect
Inhalation as an additional and effective therapy is one of the auxiliary ways of treating various diseases of the respiratory system. Nebulizer - one of the more effective inhalation devices, characterized by ease of use.
Aerosolized drug solutions with a nebulizer better penetrate the respiratory tract.
The device is a chamber intended for spraying the loaded solution to the aerosol state and feeding it to the respiratory system.
Inhalation therapy with nebulizer is available for patients of all ages( from the smallest to the elderly).Nebulizer therapy is performed with exacerbations of chronic diseases or during acute respiratory diseases. This therapy is suitable for patients with reduced inspiratory speed.
Nebulizer therapy has proved itself well in the treatment of bronchial asthma.
The main advantages of nebulizer inhalations for other inhalations are as follows:
- the possibility of application for patients of all age categories,
- simple use, due to the lack of need for additional actions,
- penetration of the drug even in the case of shallow breaths,
- using drugs locallythe effectiveness of dosage,
- continuous supply of the drug in the respiratory tract through the compressor,
- in comfortabout the treatment.
List of diseases available for treatment with nebulizer
Asthma, allergy, chronic bronchitis, chronic rhinitis, cystic fibrosis, bronchial obstructive pulmonary disease, laryngitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, fungal respiratory diseases.
It is possible to carry out therapy with a preventive purpose - to maintain immunity. Nebulizers with professional diseases cope well.
For families with often ill colds of children and people with chronic respiratory diseases, the purchase of a nebulizer can be recommended for home use.
Drugs used in nebulizers are sold in pharmacies. They are packed in special plastic containers - nebulas. For inhalations, take 2-5 ml of the drug solution together with the solvent.
The dosage of the drug is based on the patient's age. On 2 ml of physiological solution it is necessary to take the necessary amount of medicine( in drops).The use of distilled water to dissolve the drug is unacceptable, because of the danger of bronchospasm.
The drug purchased for the nebulizer should be stored in the refrigerator in closed or 2 weeks in an open form. The drug is warmed to room temperature before loading.
Nebulizer therapy can be performed using the following drugs:
- mucolytic and mucoregulatory,
- bronchodilators,
- glucocorticoid,
- antiallergic,
- antibiotics,
- alkaline and saline solutions.
Be sure to ask for advice on the choice of the drug from your doctor.
Nebulizers are not intended for therapy with oil-containing solutions, prepared decoctions and grass infusions containing suspended particles, suspensions and solutions that do not have points of application in the oral cavity( papaverine, dimedrol, euphyllin).
Nebulizer therapy has virtually no side effects, except for a slight dizziness or cough with too deep breaths.
How to work with the inhaler( nebulizer)
Before carrying out inhalations, you should thoroughly wash your hands. Then collect the nebulizer according to the instructions. Pre-warmed the preparation into a specially designed cup. Attach the rest of the nebulizer - face mask, nasal cannula or mouthpiece. The procedure can be carried out for 7-10 minutes or until the final solution of the drug is used up. After the end of the inhalation, the nebulizer should be disassembled and washed with hot water or wiped with a solution of soda( 15%).Avoid using brushes and brushes when washing.
After preliminary cleaning, the nebulizer is sterilized by boiling( 10 min) or in a steam sterilizer. Disinfect all parts of it at least once a week. The nebulizer is stored disassembled, wrapped in a towel and well dried.
It is necessary to prepare for inhalation with a nebulizer. Do not smoke for an hour, do not eat for 1 -1.5 hours before the procedure, calm down and relax, release the breath and neck from the shy clothes.
Each type of disease has a recommended type of breathing - deep, shallow, and also nasal or oral. Breathing through the nose is performed with diseases of the nasal passages. Oral inhalations are recommended for diseases of the respiratory system( trachea, bronchus, larynx).
After the procedure, the mouth rinses with warm boiled water. Inhalation therapy consists of 6-15 procedures for 10 minutes.
Types of nebulizers
There are the following types of nebulizers that differ in the basic actions for converting the drug into an aerosol: compressor, ultrasonic inhaler.
Nebulizers produce an aerosol from a solution of the drug and deliver it to the respiratory tract through specially designed elements. A medicinal preparation without impurities, falls directly into the place of destination.
The action of the ultrasonic nebulizer is based on spraying the solution with ultrasonic vibrations. They are efficient and small. The disadvantage of this type of device is the restriction of the use of certain drugs( mucolytic, antibiotics).
The action of the compressor nebulizer is based on squeezing particles through very narrow holes. Compressor nebulizer is affordable, versatile. There is a possibility of using practically any drugs during therapy.
Nebulizers with the device for interrupting the flow of aerosol, which regulates its inhalation, save expensive medicines.
