Nebulizers
A nebulizer is designed to deliver medication to the patient’s lugs. It serves the same purpose as a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), which is a pocket-sized device that you can carry around with you. Both options are available by prescription only. A nebulizer is somewhat larger and considered a stationary device that’s generally used at home.
So, how does it work? All you have to do is measure the medicine in a cup, which is attached to the device with tubing. The nebulizer will aerosolize the medicine, which breaks it up into small airborne droplets that the patient can easily inhale. You’ll be able to choose whether you want to use a mouthpiece or a mask to inhale the mist.
The most common option on the market is a jet nebulizer, which is also referred to as an atomizer. This model relies on a supply of compressor gas air, usually oxygen. You’ll receive a base that holds an air compressor, a container for the liquid medicine, and a tube that connects the two parts. The benefits include low operational costs, especially when you compare them to the portable inhalers we mentioned earlier. Keep in mind that nebulizers are larger, heavier, and noisier. You can find portable models and other varieties that are better for transport, including ultrasonic models that also offer a quieter experience.
Compressors
A compressor is required for a nebulizer to function. This part of the device compresses ambient air and blasts it through liquid medicine at high speeds. As a result, the mist is broken down into small airborne droplets that are inhaled. In most cases, the compressor is part of the nebulizer, but these parts can also be sold separately.
