A nebulizer is an electric machine that vaporizes liquid medication, allowing for quicker and easier absorption of medication into the lungs. how to use the nebulizer machine
Put the air compressor on a flat, sturdy surface. Plug it into a grounded (three-prong) electrical outlet.
wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them completely.
Put medication into the nebulizer cup. Most comes already measured in unit dose vials. If you have to measure it yourself, use a separate clean measuring device for each medication.
Assemble the nebulizer cup and mask or mouthpiece.
Connect the tubing to both the aerosol compressor and the nebulizer cup.
Turn on the compressor to make sure it’s working the way it should. You should see a light mist coming from the back of the tube.
Sit up straight on a comfortable chair. If the treatment is for your child, they can sit on your lap. If you’re using a mask, put it on. Be sure it’s comfortable and secure. If you’re using a mouthpiece, put it between your or your child's teeth and seal the lips around it.
Take slow, deep breaths. If possible, hold each breath for 2 or 3 seconds before breathing out. This lets the medication settle into your airways.
Continue until the medication is gone. The nebulizer will make a sputtering noise, and the cup will have just a little liquid left in it.
If you get dizzy or jittery, stop the treatment and rest for about 5 minutes. Continue the treatment, and try to breathe more slowly. If you keep having problems during treatments, tell your doctor.
