Nebulizing is a method of delivering medication directly to the lungs in the form of a mist, as it allows the medication to target the airways more effectively than oral medications.
Typically, a nebulizer uses compressed air or ultrasonic waves to convert liquid medication into an aerosol that can be inhaled. The process is generally simple, comfortable, and can be used at home or in clinical settings. With proper usage, nebulizing can provide quick relief and help manage symptoms, making it an important tool in respiratory care.
How and When to Use a Nebulizer Treatment
Nebulizer treatment delivers medication into the lungs via mist inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask, commonly for asthma and COPD, but can be helpful with acute illnesses too.
