The nebulizer is designed to treat diseases of the respiratory system, as well as for their prevention. It is a nebulizer simply a device for converting water into steam and spraying drugs when inhaling this steam. There are currently several types of nebulizers, in particular, steam compressor and ultrasound nebulizers. It is quite difficult to choose among these three types, especially when each type of inhaler is represented by many models.
When choosing a nebulizer that can be bought at any pharmacy, you should know about the size of particles of drugs that you have to inhale. The size of the particle is indicated by the doctor in the treatment in the prescription. In general, particles of drugs in size can be divided into three groups: large, medium and small. It is worth noting that one or another non -bouleizer can give particles of a certain size. This is the most important parameter when choosing a nebulizer.
Large particles will settle in the oral cavity and throat, medium particles are able to settle in bronchi, and small particles in the lungs themselves. It is worth noting that the use of the smallest particles in the treatment of respiratory system is ineffective, since they are quickly absorbed into the blood and are carried throughout the body, without exerting actions where. This is akin to the effect. Which gives an oxygen cocktail.
Compressor nebulizers are stationary devices, so you can use them only at home, where it is possible to connect it to the network. Ultrasonic Nebulizers can be used anywhere, depending on the model, since they often have an autonomous power source in the form of batteries. In addition, ultrasonic inhalers are more compact than compressor, so you can take it with you on a trip or to work. If you want to purchase an inhaler for a child, you should pay attention to the fact that there are special inhalers for children who have softer masks. An important fact when choosing an inhaler can be the fact that some drugs cannot be used in compressor nebulizers. Such drugs are suitable only for ultrasound inhalers. In addition, ultrasound inhalers have a small drawback, namely the need to buy consumables, such as special cups for drugs and gels.
