Nebulizer – How to get Nebulizer In Rawalpindi Islamabad

What Is a Nebulizer?

A nebulizer is a medical device that turns liquid medication into a fine mist that can be inhaled directly into the lungs. It is commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, bronchitis, and other breathing problems.

Nebulizers are particularly helpful for patients who struggle to use inhalers, including children and the elderly, because they allow normal breathing while delivering medication effectively.

Types of Nebulizer Machines

There are three main types:

Jet Nebulizer

Uses compressed air to turn liquid medicine into a mist. These are common, reliable, and affordable for home use.

Ultrasonic Nebulizer

Uses high-frequency vibrations to produce mist. Quiet but may not work with all medications.

Mesh Nebulizer

Pushes liquid through a fine mesh to create very small particles. Compact, portable, and efficient, but generally more expensive.


Benefits of Nebulizer Treatment

Nebulizers are especially useful for:

  • Infants and young children
  • Elderly patients
  • Patients with severe asthma
  • Those who cannot properly use inhalers
  • Situations requiring higher medication doses

Common medications include bronchodilators (like salbutamol), corticosteroids (such as budesonide), and combination respiratory therapies.

Nebulizer vs Inhaler

Both deliver medicine to the lungs, but differ in usage:

Nebulizers:

  • Easier for children and elderly patients
  • Require normal breathing during treatment
  • Sessions last 5–10 minutes
  • Larger and less portable

Inhalers:

  • Small, pocket-sized, quick delivery
  • Require correct inhalation technique

Patients who struggle with inhalers often benefit from nebulizers.


How to Use a Nebulizer

  1. Wash hands thoroughly.
  2. Add prescribed medication to the nebulizer cup.
  3. Attach the mask or mouthpiece.
  4. Connect tubing to the compressor.
  5. Turn on the machine.
  6. Sit upright and breathe slowly until the treatment is complete.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning prevents infection and ensures efficient operation:

After each use: Rinse cup and mask with warm water; shake off excess and air dry.
Daily: Wash with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, air dry.
Every 3 days: Disinfect using a vinegar solution (½ cup white vinegar + 1½ cups water) for 20 minutes, rinse, and dry completely.

Store in a clean, dry place away from dust.
