Ultrasonic NebulizersNebulizers are devices used to turn liquid medication into a vapor-like or mist form that can be inhaled by asthmatic patients. There are many types of nebulizers that achieve this in different ways.An ultrasonic nebulizer uses high frequency sound waves to create the mist.Because ultrasonic nebulizers do not require a compressor they are lighter and smaller than other types of nebulizers however they are much more expensive.
How to use an ultrasonic nebulizer? The ultrasonic nebulizer is easier to use than other types.It can be opened and a small container inside it is filled with the medication.The device is then closed and it is ready to use.The patient presses a button that triggers the release of the mist and then inhales the mist.Because it is lightweight and does not require a compressor it is suitable for portable use.The device should be cleaned after use.
What are precautions for nebulizer use?- The nebulizer requires a specific form of the medication that is designed for use with a nebulizer.Do not use a syrup for example even if it is the same medicine, it is not suitable for use in the nebulizer.Use only nebulizer solutions of the medicine.
- The nebulizer can deliver large doses of the medicine so care should be taken when using it.Children should preferably use it under supervision.
