FAQ's

Mainly, there are three types of nebulizers available: jet, ultrasonic, and mesh. A jet nebulizer uses compressed gas as a mechanism of action to make the aerosol form of medication (aerosols are tiny particles of medication). The ultrasonic nebulizer makes an aerosol with the help of high-frequency vibrations; that’s why these particles are slightly larger than the jet nebulizer. Last is the mesh nebulizer, where the liquid is passed through a very fine mesh to form the aerosol. These types of nebulizers make the smallest form of aerosol. That’s why these nebulizers are the most expensive.

Nebulizers are the alternative and best medication for asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). If not nebulizers, then the patient might have to take medicines such as corticosteroids and a bronchodilator; these medications have side effects that are not present with the use of nebulizers. Hence, nebulizers are the preferred form of medication, or combinations of treatments are also given. Nebulizers are especially good for infants or small children suffering from asthma. 

To use a nebulizer, you need to have all the required supplies, including an air compressor, nebulizer cup, mask or mouthpiece, medication, which can be either a unit dose vial or bottles with measuring devices and lastly, compressor tubing.

Then, first, you have to put the air compressor on a flat, sturdy surface and plug it into an electric outlet. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, and dry them. Now add your medication to the nebulizer cup; most medication is supplied in measured units only. If you have to measure it, then make sure you are using a separate, clean measuring device. Now assemble the nebulizer cup and masks, and connect the tubing to both the aerosol compressor and nebulizer cup. Now turn on the compressor to make sure it is working the way it should be. Sit comfortably when you are using a mouthpiece; put it in between your teeth and seal the lips around it. Take slow and deep breaths; this way, medication settles into your airway. If you get dizzy after this process, stop the treatment, rest for five minutes, and continue the treatment.
