INTRODUCTION
What Is a Nebulizer and How Does It Work?
The compressor nebulizer system is a device that turns a liquid drug into
a ne aerosol under the inuence of the compressed air. Aerosol con-
tains large and small particles. When breathing, the gravity makes the
larger particles accumulate on the walls of the upper respiratory passages
while the smaller particles have enough time to reach the lower bronchial
branches. Therefore the drug comes to all parts of the patient’s bronchial
tree, including the smallest bronchi and alveoli, and gets into the blood
vessels on the walls of the alveoli in big therapeutic dozes with tiny or
none side eects.
What Is Nebulizing Therapy Used For?
Nebulizer systems are used by the patients with:
• acute respiratory diseases,
• obstructive pulmonary disease,
• chronic inammatory processes in respiratory passages, such as
chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma (incl. chronic or unstable ones,
exacerbation of asthma), chronic pharyngitis,
• respiratory passage infections,
• abnormalities in secretion quality and secreting in bronchi,
• dierent types of coughing.
What Are the Advantages of Nebulizing Therapy?
Nebulizing therapy gives a possibility to quickly act upon the inammatory
zone by big drug dozes which increases the inuence of the treatment and
reduces the risk of side eects to other organs. Nebulizing therapy is the
easiest way of inhalation treatment and it is also an economical means of
treatments from the point of view of purposeful use of drug. Aerosol treat-
ment with the help of nebulizing systems can be used for children, adults
and inrm patients.
