What is a Nebulizer?
Nebulizers are used for the inhalation of medication which helps to clear the airways or for the treatment of infections. During an emergency, for patients who struggle to breathe and require a high dose of relief medicine or antibiotics, a nebulizer is used to facilitate the process.
Why Use a Nebulizer Instead of an Inhaler?
A nebulizer is designed to channel medication directly into the lungs even with little to no patient cooperation. This is highly critical as the lungs are the source of inflammation. Correct use of nebulizers requires normal breathing which makes the device the perfect option for young children.
Who Should Use a CPAP Machine?

What Happens if I Do Not Clean and Sanitize My CPAP Machine?
