ACTIVITY NO. 5

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT:

If you have asthma, your doctor may prescribe a nebulizer as treatment or breathing
therapy. The device delivers the same types of medication as metered-dose inhalers
(MDIs), which are the familiar pocket-sized inhalers. Nebulizers may be easier to use
than MDIs, especially for children who aren’t old enough to properly use inhalers, or
adults with severe asthma.
A nebulizer turns liquid medicine into a mist to help treat your asthma. They come in
electric or battery-run versions. They come in both a portable size you can carry with you
and a larger size that’s meant to sit on a table and plug into a wall. Both are made up of a
base that holds an air compressor, a small container for liquid medicine, and a tube that
connects the air compressor to the medicine container. Above the medicine container is a
mouthpiece or mask you use to inhale the mist.
How does it work?
Pressurized air passes through the tube and turns the liquid medicine into a mist. During
an asthma attack or a respiratory infection, the mist may be easier to inhale than the
spray from a pocket inhaler. When your airways become narrow — like during an
asthma attack — you can’t take deep breaths. For this reason, a nebulizer is a more
effective way to deliver the medication than an inhaler, which requires you to take a deep
breath.
Nebulizers can deliver short-acting (rescue) or long-acting (maintenance to prevent acute
attacks) asthma medication therapy. Also, more than one medication can be given in the
same treatment. Examples of medications used in nebulizers include:
albuterol
ipratropium
budesonide
formoterol
Your doctor will determine which medications you need to take in the nebulizer based on
your individual needs. The type of medication and dose will be prescribed by your
doctor. You may receive premixed containers of liquid that can be opened and placed in
the machine, or you may have to mix the solution before each use.

ADVANTAGES/ BENEFITS IN NURSING PRACTICE:

Pros of nebulizers
They are easier to use when you are having an asthma attack, since you don’t need to
take deep breaths while using one.
Multiple medications can be delivered at the same time.
A nebulizer may be easier to use with young children.
Cons of nebulizers
Nebulizers are usually not as easy to transport as an inhaler.
They often require a stationary power source.
Delivery of medications takes longer through a nebulizer than through an inhaler.

In nursing practice, nebulizers are very convenient since it makes the work easy and it
very beneficial to the client as well. When patient is hav9ng an asthma attack, the nurse
on duty is the one responsible to operate and ask the patient to nebulize depending on the
given doses or medication of the Doctor in charge.
