8. WHAT IS NEBUL IZING THERAPY
What is a nebulizer?
The name of the device comes from the Latin word nebula that means fog, cloud. The nebulizer
system is a device that turns a liquid drug into a ne aerosol under the inuence of the compressed
air. Aerosol is a drug suspension. So, nebulizing therapy is an inhalation therapy with the help of
aerosols.
Inhalation therapy has been used for treatment of lung diseases for a long time. The ancient civilizations of Egypt, India, Chine, the Middle East, Greece are know to have used inhalations of evaporations from menthol, eucalyptus, dierent plants.
For patients with lung diseases nebulizing therapy seems to be the most rational one since big
drug doses come very fast to the respiratory tract directly.
How does the nebulizer system work?
Nebulizer directs an aerosol containing larger and smaller particles to the respiratory tract. 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 bronhial tree, including the smallest bronchi and alveole, and
gets into the blood vessels on the walls of the alveole in big therapeutic dozes with tiny or none
side eects. Some drugs are very slow to be absorbed from the alimentary canal or are aected
dramatically by the rst passage through the liver. In such cases the way out is to use inhalation
therapy. Nebulizing therapy can be used by patients of any age, it’s suitable for small children and
inrms.
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 passages infections;
-abnormalities in secretion quality and secreting in bronchi;
-dierent types of coughing;
Nebulizing therapy helps to decrease the level of inammation activity, to improve respiratory
passage drain function, to lessen the bronchismus, to make the edema smaller and to protect the
mucous membrane, etc.
What are the advantages of nebulizing therapy compared to other means of drug delivery?
Nebulizing therapy gives a possibility to quickly eect 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 treatment with the help of
nebulizing systems can be used for children, elderly and inrm patients.
Please use only those drugs that were prescribed to you by your doctor, DO NOT execute
self-treatment and DO NOT change the methods/frequency prescribed without consulting
your doctor.
