8. WHAT IS NEBULIZING THERAPY
What is a nebulizer?
The name of the device comes from the Latin word nebula that means fog, cloud. The nebu-
lizer system is a device that turns a liquid drug into a ne aerosol under the inuence of
the compressed air. Aerosol is a drug suspension. So, nebulizing therapy is an inhalation
therapy with the help of aerosols.
Inhalation therapy has been used for treatment of lung diseases for a long time. The ancient
civilizations of Egypt, India, Chine, the Middle East, Greece are know to have used inhala-
tions of evaporations from menthol, eucalyptus, different plants.
For patients with lung diseases nebulizing therapy seems to be the most rational one since
big drug doses come very fast to the respiratory tract directly.
How does the nebulizer system work?
Nebulizer directs an aerosol containing larger and smaller particles to the respiratory tract.
The gravity makes the larger particles accumulate on the walls of the upper respiratory pas-
sages while the smaller particles have enough time to reach the lower bronchial branches.
Therefore the drug comes to all parts of the patient’s bronhial tree, including the smallest
bronchi and alveole, and gets into the blood vessels on the walls of the alveole in big thera-
peutic dozes with tiny or none side effects. Some drugs are very slow to be absorbed from

10
the alimentary canal or are affected dramatically by the rst passage through the liver. In
such cases the way out is to use inhalation therapy. Nebulizing therapy can be used by pa-
tients of any age, it’s suitable for small children and inrms.
What is nebulizing therapy used for?
Nebulizer systems are used by the patients with:
• acute respiratory diseases
• obstructive pulmonary disease
• chronic inammatory processes in respiratory passages such as chronic bronchitis,
bronchial asthma (incl. chronic or unstable ones, exacerbation of asthma), chronic
pharyngitis;
• respiratory passages infections
• abnormalities in secretion quality and secreting in bronchi
• different types of coughing
Nebulizing therapy helps to decrease the level of inammation activity, to improve respira-
tory passage drain function, to lessen the bronchismus, to make the edema smaller and to
protect the mucous membrane, etc.
What are the advantages of nebulizing therapy compared to other means of drug delivery?
Nebulizing therapy gives a possibility to quickly effect the inammatory zone by big drug
dozes which increases the inuence of the treatment and reduces the risk of side effects to
other organs. Nebulizing therapy is the easiest way of inhalation treatment and it is also an
economical means of treatments from the point of view of purposeful use of drug. Aerosol
treatment with the help of nebulizing systems can be used for children, elderly and inrm
patients.
Please use only those drugs that were prescribed to you by your doctor, DO NOT ex-
ecute self-treatment and DO NOT change the methods/frequency prescribed without
consulting your doctor.
