A quiet nebulizer — is there such a thing?  So I am need to use a nebulizer at least twice a day and some days 3 or even 4 times so my older nebulizer seemed REALLY NOISY.  I bought a new one as a backup because I was so sick a couple of months ago that I was in the hospital and I thought if my nebulizer breaks down, I am going to need to run around and try to find one immediately and most are not on 2 hour delivery so I just thought it was better safe than sorry and this one I got so LUCKY ON.  It dispenses really well even when the medicine gets very low and IT IS SUPER QUIET.  So quiet that it made me realize how incredibly noisy my old nebulizer was.

REMEMBER TO FOLLOW YOUR DOCTOR’s instructions but here are the basics on how to use a nebulizer.

To use a nebulizer for asthma, the following steps are typically recommended:

  1. Wash your hands and assemble the nebulizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Measure the prescribed amount of medication and add it to the nebulizer.
  3. Attach the mouthpiece or mask to the nebulizer.
  4. Sit in a comfortable, upright position and breathe normally.
  5. Turn on the nebulizer and inhale the medication as directed by your healthcare provider.
  6. Once the medication has been fully inhaled, turn off the nebulizer and clean it according to the manufacturer’s instructions

A nebulizer is a medical device that is used to deliver medication directly into the lungs to help treat respiratory conditions such as asthma. It converts liquid medication into a mist or aerosol that can be inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask.

When a person with asthma uses a nebulizer, the medication is delivered directly to the lungs, which can provide faster relief than other forms of medication, such as inhalers. Nebulizers are particularly useful for young children or older adults who may have difficulty using inhalers correctly.

It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and the manufacturer of the nebulizer to ensure proper use and effective treatment. It is also important to maintain the nebulizer and clean it regularly to prevent infection and ensure optimal performance.
