Nebulizers are great at directly treating respiratory ailments. Often, nebulizer treatments can be improved when a nebulizer accessory is used along with the basic nebulizer machine. Here's a list of some of the best nebulizer accessories for adults to help you get the most out of your nebulizer machine.
For treating respiratory ailments, nebulizer (sometimes misspelled nebuliser) treatments are best because they do it directly. Nebulizer treatments, however, can often be improved upon by using the right nebulizer accessory. For children, this often means finding a better way to get your child to take his/her treatment comfortably and without hassle.
A new portable nebulizer from MABIS DMI, called the MABIS NebPak, has been specially designed with children and young adults in mind. MABIS developed this ultrasonic nebulizer specifically for children who need nebulizer treatments during the day, while in school. Many children are hesitant to take their nebulizer machine with them to school due to a fear of what fellow classmates may think.
For those living with asthma, it’s important to know how well you’re controlling your symptoms. One device used to measure this level of control is an oximeter. Oximeters clip onto your fingertip to inform you of your current blood oxygen level through the use of light. While often used in hospitals by doctors and nurses to monitor your vital signs, you can use oximeters to see how well one of your body’s most important organs is functioning – your lungs.
For families with asthmatic children it’s important to create an asthma action plan before the new school year starts. An asthma action plan is a coordinated effort between you and the school to better control your child’s asthma. Aside from providing information about your child’s condition, it also informs the school staff of what to do in case of an asthma attack, and what to do if your child doesn’t respond well to the medication during an attack.
For people living with Asthma or other respiratory ailments, knowing the air quality is important. Be sure to check weather reports on hot days to learn the current air quality as poor air can make breathing more difficult for everyone, especially those with breathing problems.
