A nebulizer machine is a medical device that converts liquid medication into a mist that can be easily inhaled into the lungs. Nebulizers are commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. They can also be used to deliver other medications to the lungs, such as antibiotics and bronchodilators.
Nebulizers work by using a compressor to create a stream of air that is forced through a liquid medication cup. The air breaks up the medication into a fine mist, which is then delivered to the patient through a mouthpiece or face mask.
There are two main types of nebulizers: jet nebulizers and mesh nebulizers.
- Jet nebulizers are the most common type of nebulizer. They are less expensive and more durable than mesh nebulizers, but they can be noisy and take longer to deliver medication.
- Mesh nebulizers are newer and more expensive than jet nebulizers. They are quieter and faster than jet nebulizers, but they are also more fragile.
Nebulizers are available in a variety of sizes and styles, including portable nebulizers that can be used on the go.
