How to use a nebulizer
Before a person starts taking medication with a nebulizer, a medical professional will explain how the nebulizer works and answer any questions.
If a person receives their nebulizer from a pharmacy or medical equipment company, someone there will explain how to use it.
Each nebulizing machine operates a little differently. It is crucial to read the instructions for the particular device that the doctor has prescribed.
In general, a nebulizer is very easy to use, with only a few basic steps:
Wash the hands.
Add the medication to the medication cup according to the doctor’s prescription.
Assemble the top piece, tubing, mask, and mouthpiece.
Attach the tubing to the machine according to the instructions.
Turn the nebulizer on; they can be battery or electrically-powered.
While using the nebulizer, hold the mouthpiece and medication cup upright to help deliver all the medication.
Take slow, deep breaths through the mouthpiece and inhale all the medication.
Please speak with the doctor or call the manufacturer with any questions or concerns about the device.
