If you are an asthma patient or someone who suffers from respiratory disorders than you will understand the importance of a nebulizer. A nebulizer is a device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs. In principle all nebulizers use oxygen, compressed air or ultrasonic power to break up medical solutions or suspensions into small aerosol droplets. This is then inhaled directly from the mouthpiece of the device.
Portable Nebulizers are commonly used for treatment of cystic fibrosis, asthma, COPD and other respiratory diseases. Asthma is the most prevalent of all these respiratory disorders not only because it is hereditary but more so because of the changing lifestyle. Pollution, tobacco smoke, dust mites, pollen, animal fur, cockroach droppings, certain kinds of food and even physical exertion among other factors may trigger an attack of asthma. Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames the airways causing congestion.
Early diagnosis of asthma leading to ongoing treatment empowers an individual afflicted with the illness. Nebulizers are a very important part in the medication system. While choosing the right brand of nebulizer it is always better to consult with a physician as several aspects including age, symptoms, medication and functionality are taken into consideration. One of the more popular brands available on the market is Omron. The Omron nebulizer for instance is a portable, pocketsize inhaler that can fit into any luggage or handbag allowing a patient to have immediate and ready access to treatment.
