A device used to convert liquid into a fine spray of aerosols, by the means of oxygen / compressed air / ultrasonic vibration; Sometimes also refered to as an atomizer
A device used to administer a medicine into the lungs, by converting the medicine from liquid state into a fine spray of aerosols, to be inhaled through the nose or mouth. The conversion of liquid medicine is characterized to be performed by means of oxygen or compressed air or ultrasonic vibration, which differ from the aerosolizing means used by related devices such as inhalers and vaporizers
{i} process of nebulizing (Medicine); atomization, conversion of liquids into fine spray (Medicine); reduction of a medicinal solution to a fine spray; treatment of a disease (such as respiratory disease) using a fine spray (also nebulisation)
A device that creates a mist out of your asthma drug, which makes it easy and pleasant to breath the drug into the lungs The drug is placed into a small cup Air from a small compressor converts the drug into an aerosol mist, which travels through a hose with a mouthpiece attached By taking slow, deep breaths, the medicine is delivered into your lungs Small children or others who cannot hold the mouthpiece tightly in their lips can wear a mask to maximize the effects of the medicine Using a nebulizer is sometimes called a "breathing treatment "
a machine that changes liquid medicine into fine droplets (in aerosol or mist form) that are inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask Nebulizers can be used to deliver bronchodilator (airway-opening) medications such as Albuterol and Atrovent A nebulizer may be used instead of a metered dose inhaler (MDI) It is powered by a compressed air machine and plugs into an electrical outlet
A machine for getting medicine into the lungs A nebulizer makes a mixture of liquid medicine and water into a mist that a person then inhales (through a mask or a mouthpiece) Nebulizers are often used for babies and children too small to be able to coordinate using a metered dose inhaler They are also sometimes used for people having severe asthma symptoms, as many people find it easier to take in the medicine this way when they are having a lot of trouble breathing
Device (small air compressor, typically) for transforming a liquid (medicine) into a vapor The vapor is inhaled, usually by means of a face mask or mouthpiece, into the lungs The nebulization of the medicine into extremely fine particles increases the absorption rate by the lungs, making this one of the most effective delivery techniques available for home use Less expensive nebulizers use an air compressor; ultrasonic models are very portable, nearly silent and faster but quite a bit more expensive Need more information on nebulizers? Read this great fact sheet and our tips page
A device that uses a small compressor and face mask to deliver a fine aerosol mist of drug to the lung; no hand-lung coordination required; units are bulky and not portable
A device used to aerosolize medications Typically this is a continuous aerosol generator A liquid medication is added to a reservoir and a gas flow converts the liquid to an aerosol when in operation It is critical that the directions provided with the medication be followed
Say: neb-you-lies-er A nebulizer isn't really a space gun, but it kind of acts like one because it turns liquid medicine into a gas that you can breathe in through your airways So instead of tasting your medicine, you get to breathe it in! Lots of kids with asthma use a nebulizer to help them breathe easier Awesome!
