Inhalers and nebulizers - model review

The most effective way to deliver drugs to the respiratory system is through inhalation. To perform the procedure at home, you will need to purchase a nebulizer , also known as an inhaler.

The inhaler is used for acute respiratory diseases , as well as diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and also in the complex therapy of allergies. However, in order to be able to use the device, it is necessary to choose it correctly.

How to choose an inhaler ?

The essence of the inhaler is that it releases medicinal substances into a finely dispersed vapor and delivers them to the respiratory organs. More specifically: in the form of droplets, it is deposited in the trachea, quickly absorbed and begins to act, but unlike pills, it bypasses the digestive system. According to the principle of liquid separation, nebulizers are divided into 3 main groups:

  • Steam - works on the principle of direct evaporation of a liquid, which is achieved as a result of heating;
  • Compressor - Inhalers draw air through a tube, which is pumped into a container with medication. After that, the medicinal solution is divided into small droplets;
  • Ultrasonic - a nebulizer creates high-frequency waves that transform liquid into a fine fraction. In this case, the droplet size becomes so small that the vapor forcibly reaches not only the upper, but also the lower respiratory tract.
Please note : Not all medications are recommended for use with ultrasonic nebulizers !


B.Well WN-112 K

This is a B.Well compressor nebulizer , which can disperse any medication into an aerosol with a particle fraction of up to 4 microns. The device features an inhalation-activated chamber, which is connected to the compressor with a long 1.8-meter hose. Thus, the patient can be placed in any comfortable place without being dependent on the device. The device operates at a noise level of 60 dB.

The nebulizer has a capacity of up to 13 ml, which can be fully used in only 30 minutes, but this is enough to perform medical procedures on 1-2 patients.

Moreover, the set includes masks for babies, children and adults, as well as for the nose and mouth, which can be sterilized in a simple way. Unfortunately, the set does not include a bag. Otherwise, it is a really good solid device for treating upper respiratory tract and allergies.

Advantages:

Negative:

  • Low flow rate;
  • Limit device operation to 30 minutes.

AND UN-232

The leader among ultrasonic nebulizers is the AND UN-232 inhaler , which is a compact, low-noise (45 dB) device and sprays drugs up to 4 microns, which ultimately creates an intensive therapeutic flow. The kit includes only one nozzle/nozzle, but it is suitable for both children and adults. It is very easy to clean and disinfect.

The average size of the dissolved drug particles is 4 microns. In this form, the drugs during normal inhalation reach the lower parts of the respiratory tract. By the way, a wide range of drugs intended for inhalation on a water basis are suitable for an ultrasonic nebulizer.

Advantages:

  • Spraying of drugs and water up to 4-5 microns;
  • Effective compressor protection;
  • Average noise level;
  • Liquid heating and steam generation function;
  • Stable flow throughout the entire procedure;
  • Capacious container for medicines 13 ml.

Negative:

  • Heavy machine - 1.5 kg;
  • Inhalation must be done at a table, as the device is not equipped with a long hose.
