Nebulizer Masks
With the ever increasing levels of pollution, the risk of respiratory disorders, such as asthma and bronchitis seems to be increasing rapidly. In such a scenario, nebulizer masks are proving to be a boon. Usually made of clear vinyl or rubber, these masks prove to be an efficient alternative to people who find it difficult to use an inhaler.
Nebulizer masks facilitate passive breathing of the medication. These masks ensure that the patients inhale full dosage of the medicine. The best part about these masks is they keep the stream of mist consistent; thereby ensuring the medicine is delivered effectively. They are commonly used in cases of children and elderly patients.
To ensure that the adult nebulizer mask functions effectively, it is essential to clean it regularly by rinsing it with warm, soapy water. Also, it is recommended to disinfect the mask with vinegar or any other suitable disinfectant after every third day of use.
