Using Sound waves To Treat Asthma

Modern nebulizers are a boon to patients afflicted with asthma especially the very young and the elderly. A nebulizer is a device that administers liquid medication which is converted into mist and inhaled into the lungs. Since asthma can strike anyone anyplace and at anytime it is always better to be prepared, and having a nebulizer on hand ensures timely treatment.

Whether it is portable nebulizer or a pocket nebulizer this device is easy to use and can administer medication for the asthmatic patient easing his symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing. An ultrasonic nebulizer is the latest variant of the modern nebulizer. Unlike traditional nebulizers, an ultrasonic version uses ultrasonic sound waves to break liquid particles into a fog so it can get inhaled easily.

This nebulizer is compact and portable, and is most often used for medicinal purposes where the patient experiences asthma, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, or other chronic conditions. Unlike other devices including the regular nebulizer and inhaler, an ultrasonic nebulizer provides a fog of medicine having smaller particles that travel much deeper into the patient’s lungs, resulting in quicker relief.

These types of ultrasonic nebulizers are good for those having chronic breathing conditions. It can dramatically improve a patient’s health. Quiet, portable, and easy to clean this nebulizer provides relief quickly and in a painless manner often taking between five and seven minutes to produce the desired effect.
