Nebulizer

A nebulizer is a device that is used for breathing treatments such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and other respiratory illnesses. It changes liquid medicine into an aerosol. Aerosol is a "mixture of gas and liquid particles," and the best example of a naturally occurring aerosol is mist, formed when small vaporized water particles mixed with hot ambient air are cooled down and condense into a fine cloud of visible airborne water droplets.

Introduction

As we all know nebulizers are used to treat respiratory illness. Nebulizers use oxygen, compressed air or ultrasonic power to break up medical solutions and suspensions into small aerosol droplets that can be directly inhaled from the mouthpiece of the device. They are often used in situations in which using an inhaler is difficult or ineffective. Nebulizers are also used to limit the side effects of medications like steroids by delivering the medicine directly to the respiratory system. A nebulizer consists of a machine to power the nebulizer and a tube that connects the machine to the medicine container. The medicine is changed into a mist in the medicine container. The machine or container has a valve that can increase or decrease the amount of mist you receive. You breathe in the mist through a mask or mouthpiece.

    With the mask on the patient's face, and the machine turned on, the patient will feel the force of wind on exhalation. This wind serves two purposes. It prevents the airway from collapsing, and thus prevents periods of apnea. It also keeps the alveoli in the lungs open, and thus improves oxygenation, and decreases un-needed pressure on your heart.…

    Et Tubes vs Lma

    This study was done to answer the following question: Are licensed practitioner's beliefs about airways (oral ET-tube and LMA) consistent with the current printed information and do they report using the airways in a similar manner? To answer this question, we first needed to know what practices the current published studies have suggested will have better out-comes and less side affects. We also needed to find out; are practitioners aware of the evidence-based practices that are currently published and have they had any continuing education about airway management? Does the location where the practitioner performs airway management impact their practices? Are their decisions based on departmental policy or do they decide on their own which device to use? Does the medical specialty in which they practice or the number of years in their field impact their practices or predetermine their knowledge of the devices.…

    When a patient cannot control their airway, or cannot perform the act of respiration without assistance, the need for endotracheal intubation may arise. The practice of endotracheal intubation has been shown to provide a safe and patent airway, which can be mechanically ventilated when necessary. The use of an endotracheal tube also protects the patient by preventing aspiration when used correctly, and provides an extra rout for medication administration. The use of endotracheal tubes is very common, and provides many advantages in patient care. Tracheal tubes are not without fault though as unwanted side effects can occur. In more severe circumstances injury or exacerbation of the patient’s condition can also occur.…

    ProAir HFA is one of the brand names given to a bronchodilator called albuterol, also known as salbutamol. The two most prescribed forms are a quick relief metered inhalation aerosol and a nebulizer solution. It is also available in extended-release tablets and syrup. Albuterol is not a cortosteroid or a scheduled drug. Albuterol is a sympathomimetic (beta agonist) bronchodilator. A bronchodilator helps to relieve bronchospasms, which causes wheezing and shortness of breath, by relaxing the muscles around your airway and allowing air to flow more freely into your lungs.

    As a respiratory therapist a patients airway is the most important. Immediately we grab a bag mask resuscitator, connect it to an oxygen flow meter at 15 lpm, and begin to ventilate the patient. Sometimes an oral airway needs to be placed of good ventilation is not being given. Depending on the situation the physician will likely have the patient be intubated. With intubation we set up the intubation tray, set up a ventilator, and assist the physician with the intubation. If successful, bilateral breath sounds are to be determined and the endotracheal tube then needs to be secured.…

    About a year ago, I came home from work one night and walked into the kitchen to where my mother was standing. There was a feeling of uneasiness and the panic began to clench my stomach. She looked so sad, so stressed; maybe it was the frizzy hair, the bags beneath her eyes, the way her back slouched in a low negative curve, or her eyes. Her eyes looked at me before she turned them away, but in that fragment of a second, it’s almost like I could look inside her narrow eyes and search until I would come upon this thing. This thing has no name, but it scares her. She wouldn’t exactly explain to me what it was but I felt the sudden movements of uncertainty with the way she shifted her body and tilted her gaze away from mine. It’s almost like I started to feel scared too.…
