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 inuence 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 e󰀨ects.

What is nebulizing therapy used for?

Nebulizer systems are used by the patients with:

• acute respiratory diseases,

• obstructive pulmonary disease,

• chronic inammatory 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,

• di󰀨erent types of coughing.

What are the advantages of nebulizing therapy?

Nebulizing therapy gives a possibility to quickly e󰀨ect the inammatory

zone by big drug dozes which increases the inuence of the treatment and

reduces the risk of side e󰀨ects 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 inrm patients.
