Asthma Nebulizers are breathing machines that help in inhaling asthma medication. They convert pressurized room air into liquid medicine into a mist, which is more readily inhaled into the lungs. Asthma Nebulizer therapy is used for infants and adults with respiratory problems and having problems using regular asthma inhalers with spacers.
You need a physician’s prescription for using the asthma nebulizer. Most medical insurers will cover this cost under the durable medical equipment portion of health insurance policies. However, we will advice you to check with your insurance company before purchasing or renting an asthma nebulizer to see if it is covered.
Here is how you should use the nebulizer. First, place the air compressor on a table and plug the compressor into a nearby electrical outlet.
Then, measure the medication and pour it inside the asthma nebulizer cup. Now connect the compressor tubing to the air compressor, and to the asthma nebulizer cup. Turn on the compressor and wait for a light mist to form and come from the tube.
Sit straight in a comfortable seating and once the mist starts coming from the tube, take deep breaths from the nebulizer mask, and hold them in for 2-3 seconds. This way you will allow the medication to penetrate the airways. You should continue the asthma nebulizer treatment until the medication is completely gone.
