Compressor: Ideal Aid For A Nebulizer

For an asthma patient, a nebulizer is a life saver. So is the case for most people suffering from chronic respiratory diseases of disorders that restrict free and effortless breathing. Medication for such conditions reaches the passages of lungs easily when administered as a mist formed by a nebulizer. But what if a nebulizer is not powerful enough?

There can be reasons for a nebulizer failing to provide relief to a person suffering from a respiratory disorder. The patient himself or herself could be at an advanced and severe stage of the disease where the passages of the lungs are so severely blocked that even the most effective nebulizer cannot make the medication reach the target area. On the other hand, the reason for ineffective medication could simply be using a low power nebulizer that is not suited for the disease in question.

Whether it is one of these two reasons or any other, the fact remains that it is important to augment the nebulizer’s ability to reach the medication into the passages of the lungs. A nebulizer compressor does this very task effectively. A compressor is an external pressure pump that is used to increase the power of a nebiluzer and ensure that the entire medication is inhaled effectively by the patient.

Many compressors are available in the market and are a good and reliable method to increase the efficacy of medication for respiratory diseases. The Mobilaire 50 Psi Compressor for example, is a 26.2 pounds heavy compressor, that is ideal for use with medications that require more flow and pressure to nebulize properly. Compressors like the Mobilaire 50 Psi Compressor provide low-noise operation. They come equipped with an easy to read pressure gauge and non marring rubber feet with suction-cups for stable operations. Durable pistone compressor, they come with a pressure range of 0-50 psi, with operating pressure of 7lpm@23 psi nominal with a filtered nebulizer system. Most compressors also come with warranty coverage of at least a year.

Compressors are an efficient and durable alternative to low efficiency nebulizers. They increase the amount of drug being nebulized manifold. Chronic respiratory diseases like asthma can be quite restrictive and crippling for an individual. A nebulizer, to a large extent, frees the individual from the fear of breathlessness and helps build confidence to go about daily chores with ease. A compressor is an ideal addition to a nebulizer when either the medication of the nebulizer itself fails to give the desired results.
