INTRODUCTION

What is a nebulizer and how does it work?

The compressor nebulizer system is a device that turns a liquid drug into a fine aerosol under the influence of the compressed air. Aerosol contains large and

small particles. When breathing the gravity makes the larger particles accumulate on the walls of the upper respiratory passages while the smaller particles

have enough time to reach the lower bronchial branches. Therefore the drug comes to all parts of the patient’s bronchial tree, including the smallest bronchi

and alveoli, and gets into the blood vessels on the walls of the alveoli in big therapeutic dozes with tiny or none side effects.

What is nebulizing therapy used for?

Nebulizer systems are used by the patients with:

•

acute respiratory diseases,

•

obstructive pulmonary disease,

•

chronic inflammatory processes in respiratory passages such as chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma (incl. chronic or unstable ones,

exacerbation of asthma), chronic pharyngitis,

•

respiratory passages infections,

•

abnormalities in secretion quality and secreting in bronchi,

•

different types of coughing.

What are the advantages of nebulizing therapy?

Nebulizing therapy gives a possibility to quickly effect the inflammatory zone by big drug dozes which increases the influence of the treatment and reduces the

risk of side effects to other organs. Nebulizing therapy is the easiest way of inhalation treatment and it is also an economical means of treatments from the point

of view of purposeful use of drug. Aerosol treatment with the help of nebulizing systems can be used for children, elderly and infirm patients.
