Before choosing a choice, everyone who acquires an inhaler for preventive purposes, as well as if the doctor has not given accurate instructions on the use of one or another type of inhalers. But in order to understand which device will suit you, you need, first of all, to decide on the purpose of its use. To begin with, it is worth noting the existence of steam inhalers, which are designed to warm the upper respiratory tract. Such an inhaler is also used to inhalation of essential oils. The action of such an inhaler is like a folk remedy in the form of a pair above just cooked potatoes, however, drugs are used in the inhaler. In the case of using essential oils, oil vapors soften the oral cavity and nasopharynx. Therefore, steam inhalers occupy a separate niche among other types of inhalers.
With a choice of another type of inhaler will be a little more complicated. The ultrasound inhaler differs from the compressor inhaler by the principle of its action, but the effect of them is the same. In other words, to achieve the same effect, various systems of spraying of drugs are used.
The main characteristic of any inhaler is the uniformity and size of the medicinal particles that it spray. The fewer particles of drugs, the deeper they can fall into the lungs. Large particles will settle in a bronchial tree, while the smaller ones penetrate deeper. It is worth noting that particles with 1 micron in diameter will be absorbed into the blood without linger in the alveoli, that is, the therapeutic effect will not be achieved.
That is, the inhaler is compressor or ultrasound, you can choose based on how much the particles you are going to deliver to the lungs, and where they should settle. The ultrasonic inhaler also has some advantages compared to compressor. Such an inhaler is compact, often supplied by batteries for autonomous work and rabbits. The compressor inhaler due to the compressor’s work is more jumper, for this reason it is used less often in the treatment of children whom noise can scare. However, for an ultrasound inhaler, you will need to buy additional consumables, such as gel or powder plates. It is also worth noting that not all drugs can be used in a compressor inhaler, while their use in an ultrasound inhaler is allowed.
