Ask a person suffering from asthma about their quality of life and the response could vary from bearly livable to pathetic. This is because of the unexpected bouts of symptoms and recurrence that is associated with asthma. Wheezing, cough and shortness of breath sap away a person’s vitality. Medical science has now made it possible for people suffering from asthma to lead a normal life. Whether oral medications, inhalers or injections the treatment of asthma has progressed tremendously.
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that that inflames and narrows the airways. People with lung conditions often rely on certain medications to help treat these diseases or alleviate symptoms. Most often the physician may prescribe the use of a nebulizer making it easy for the patient to inhale the medication. A patient normally uses a nebulizer mask in order to receive the medication in this form.
An adult nebulizer mask is usually made out of rubber or clear vinyl. It consists of a mask that fits over the patient's nose with an adjustable elastic strap that fits around the head to keep it in place. Pediatric nebulizer masks for children also come in a variety of shapes, such as dinosaurs or fish, to make children more comfortable using them. However, recent studies have shown that masks are poorly accepted by babies making companies to come up with other methods that allow inhalation of medicine including creating a hood that makes space allowing for easy inhalation of the medication.
