Why nebulizer therapy is effective in combating respiratory diseases
Just 10 years ago, when you heard the word “inhalation,” you would most likely imagine a pan of hot steam. The steam inhaler is still in demand, but a compressor nebulizer is a more effective and safe method of treating respiratory diseases.
This treatment is sometimes called “cold inhalation”. The fact is that a compressor inhaler during operation produces an aerosol at room temperature, and not hot steam, as a steam inhaler does. This makes the nebulizer safer to use, especially if the inhalation needs to be done by a child.
But safety is not the only advantage of a nebulizer. The aerosol produced by this device consists of very small particles (less than 5 microns). Thanks to this, the medicine, converted into an aerosol, can reach the middle and lower parts of the respiratory system. Therefore, if steam inhalers can cope with a common cold, then a nebulizer is needed to treat asthma, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and other serious diseases.
Nebulizer therapy is also more effective because the drug, converted into a fine aerosol, goes directly to the site of inflammation. Unlike tablets and syrups, which must pass through the gastrointestinal tract before they begin to act in the respiratory tract. Therefore, with inhalation, the consumption of drugs is less, and relief occurs immediately.
In addition, a reliable and high-quality nebulizer will not only help in the treatment of respiratory diseases, but will also help in their prevention. Make sure that the device comes with all the necessary attachments, masks for adults and children.
And one more piece of advice - if you want to buy a nebulizer, do not wait for an epidemic or illness. Make your choice in advance and make sure that the necessary device is at hand at the right time.
