Nebulizer vs. inhaler is a hot issue in the field of respiratory disease treatment. Today, we will look into these two medical devices and make comparisons between them from the perspective of sophisticated manufacturer. Hope all of you can buy what you exactly need, and enjoy healthy and happy lives.
Nebulizer is a device for delivering drugs to respiratory in the form of mist, aiming at curing asthma, cystic fibrosis and COPD. It nebulizes drugs with the help of compressed air, ultrasonic or vibrator mesh so that patients can breath in the medical particles through respiratory tract.
PMDI, a pressurized metered dose inhaler, can also treat respiratory conditions such as asthma. When the inhaler is pressed, the internal ejector shoots the drug out, forming tiny particles whose diameter is less than 1 to 5μm. If used correctly, 90% of the drug particles can reach the intended delivery tissue.
Nebulizer –Long lifetime. Add medicine to the cup each time. After running out of the medical liquid, just wash the accessories and dry. The machine and its accessory can be used many times. –Adjustable nebulizing fineness. The adjusting system can be installed on the cover of the cup and in the control PCB. For the former, you can resort to a paddle shift. For the latter, you can turn to the button on the surface of the main device. –Easy breathing technique. If you choose a mask, it is very easy to use it in a proper way to ensure perfect treatment effects. –Poor portability. There are three types of nebulizers- compressor, ultrasonic and vibrator mesh. Except for mesh nebulizer, the other two are too heavy to carry at all times. –Frequent Cleaning. Users are supposed to clean the accessories each time finishing therapy. | Inhaler –Short lifetime. If the medicine inside runs out, it is time to buy a new one. –Portability. Small size and light weight. –Difficult breathing techniques required. It leads to high possibility of poor treatment effects. –Quick therapy process. It just takes about one minute to finish drug inhaling. –Obvious side effect on oropharynx. Most drugs in inhalers contain hormones, which may promote the risk of oropharyngeal fungal infection. –Potential side effect. When hormones enter circulation and are absorbed by the patient body, it may cause drug resistance after long-time therapy.If the body absorbs excessive volume of hormones, it may stimulate cardiac muscle, resulting in arrhythmia. –Weak kid-friendly design. –Poor drug compatibility. |
Nebulizer. Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases is also COPD. The patient needs long-term therapy. In order to reduce drug resistance that results from receiving the same hormone for a long period, we suggest using nebulizer which allows different types of medicine.
Nebulizer. Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease, can not be cured radically. Patients will carry this disease all along their life. Thus, we should choose nebulizer therapy for CF without any hesitation. The reasons are similar to dealing with COPD – less side effects.
Inhaler first. And nebulizer for long-term therapy. When a life-threatening asthma attacks, inhaler can play a significant role to stop bronchospasm at one-press moment, saving patience from asphyxia. Still, we advise using nebulizer therapy according to doctor’s advice. Because it is also a long journey to fight against asthma.
Nebulizer. Seasonal flu requires more types of medicines than just one type of resparitory disease needs. With the strong drug compatibility, nebulizer solve this problem to the point.
Nebulizer. From the perspective of appearance design and breathing technique, nebulizer should be the best way to treat kids. Kids are always attracted by things with a cute appearance and can not acquire difficult breath technique.
It depends. If family members suffer from asthma, please prepare an inhaler and nebulizer. If COPD or other respiratory disease, just prepare a nebulizer.
Inhaler and portable mesh nebulizer can meet your requirements. However, don’t forget to charge and add medicine to your mesh nebulizer if you get used to putting it in the handbag.
