Nebulizers also called breathing machines are basically devices designed to allow patients to inhale medication directly into the lungs. These nebulizers are particularly used to inhale asthma medication which is aerosolized and reaches the lungs in mist form. Among the different types of nebulizer pediatric ones are useful in delivering medication to the lungs of a child.
These nebulizers make use of special nebulizer mask or mouthpiece and the medicine which is in liquid form is converted into mist and delivered to the lungs of the child. A pediatric nebulizer is prescribed for infants and other children who are too young to be able to properly use the asthma inhaler. The pediatric nebulizer can be used with ease and a parent can put the medication into the machine and position the mouthpiece properly. The machine is then turned on and as the child breathes normally the medication is effectively delivered. Some of these nebulizers need to be plugged into electricity source while others are battery operated nebulizers
