Medical Video: How to Use the Nebulizer Machine - Demonstration
Nebulizer is a medical device that produces steam from liquid medicines so that it can be inhaled easily and comfortably. This tool helps deliver liquid medicine in the form of very small granules of water so that it directly enters the lungs.
This steam engine is used in emergencies as well as in home care to deal with various types of respiratory diseases. Well, health conditions that usually require nebulizer is:
1. Asthma
Asthma is a respiratory disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. The airways of people with asthma can swell, tighten, and produce excessive mucus so you have difficulty breathing.
Asthma attacks occur when these symptoms suddenly get worse.
Compared with inhaler, nebulizer is an easier choice for children who cannot use it inhaler correctly or adults with serious asthma cases.
2. COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) attacks the lungs gradually, usually caused by smoking habits. This disease is characterized by symptoms of respiratory distress and obstructed breathing.
Breath can be inhibited as a result of a combination of airway diseases such as chronic bronchitis, damage to the air bag in the lungs, and refractory (severe) asthma.
Although COPD patients generally experience an incurable airway constriction, the use of bronchodilators has the potential to alleviate the complaint.
Therefore, a nebulizer with bronchodilators can be used to treat acute complaints or to prevent COPD from worsening.
3. Bronchiolitis
Bronchiolitis is inflammation and swelling of the small airways (bronchioles) due to viral infections. This condition is often found in infants and can be one of the risks of future asthma. The doctor or nurse may recommend nebulizer to treat bronchiolitis, depending on the conditions and needs of each.
4. Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is characterized by an injured and inflamed airway, and is filled with thick mucus. This can increase the risk of bacterial infection.
Well, nebulizer is a tool that can be used to clean mucus. That way, you more easily remove mucus and drugs for bacterial infections become more easily absorbed.
5. Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis or cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that interferes with the body's ability to control the movement of salt and water between cells. As a result, it forms a very thick mucus in the lungs and digestive system. This makes it difficult for you to breathe and increases the risk of lung infection.
The Nebulizer will deliver the drug efficiently and destroy the mucus clots or overcome the symptoms of other cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis drugs that can be used inside nebulizer are bronchodilators, corticosteroids andornase alpha enzymes.
Treatment with a nebulizer not only relieves breathing, but also regulates mucus production and prevents infection from getting worse.
6. Sinusitis
Sinusitis is inflammation of the nose and sinus area. According to various reports, ultrasonic nebulizer powerful enough to reduce sinusitis symptoms such as nasal congestion or pain in the area of the nose and face.
Nebulizer even mentioned it is able to overcome bacterial infections in 76 percent of patients given antibiotics through this steam engine.
In a survey conducted on patient users nebulizer at home, proven that benefits nebulizer far greater than any potential risk. Nebulizer itself can be a very helpful tool in controlling chronic lung disease, and can help patients save even more.
