Nebulisation
Nebulisation treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore
Sometimes medication given to children works better when administered as an inhaled aerosol. It can be used to treat several respiratory diseases as medication such as bronchodilators, mucolytic agents, and even antibiotics can be administered as a mist. A nebuliser is used for aerosol therapy, and you will be instructed to assist the physicians or nurses who perform the nebulisation treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore.
What is a Nebulizer?
A nebuliser is a device that can turn inhaled aerosol medications into a fine mist that can be inhaled. They are helpful in quickly treating respiratory conditions by allowing doctors to administer medicines in the form of breathable moisture without discomfort.
Nebulisers come with a mask that makes a snug fit on the nose and mouth. The medicine cup that holds the solution is filled with the medicine to be administered, and the machine is turned on. A fine mist begins to flow out of the mask, which the baby inhales without discomfort. The device takes a few minutes to aerosolized and administer the medicine fully.
