How to use a nebulizer machine? Unbox, demo and instructions

How to use a nebulizer machine - complete tutorial including general instructions for use, unboxing of a new nebulizer, parts needed to inhale the medication, a demonstration on myself using normal saline 0.9%, cleaning instructions, explaining what medications and solutions can be used in the nebulizer.
I use one of the most affordable/cheap nebulizer devices that i could order - a compressor nebulizer that also contains everything you would need to start inhalations. There are many other types available which are usually more expensive, but the differences between cheap vs. expensive are likely to not be that significant especially for most use cases: inhaling saline solutions or bronchodilators for asthma and COPD. I am not endorsing any product over the other, I used the device in the video for demonstration purposes only.

Im a nurse, just ordered a neb for my mum, sent her these instructions so hopefully she shou d manage to set it all up and use it.

With this machine the blue button like knob holds a little replaceable sponge filter that you can replace from time to time, a little packet of five white sponge filters are provided with the machine. The groove next to the blue button is very handy to rest the bottom of the inhalation chamber, it fits perfectly on the underside of the inhalation chamber even with the tube connected under it, you can easily fill the chamber with solution or just to rest the whole thing steady for a moment without fear of spilling.
This is a good machine for home use.

Very Very Useful Video 🎥 Thank you Doctor🙏🙏 I'm from India 🇮🇳

Thank you Dr

[@HBProductions.]

Valuable information for sure on how these products works and its many circumstances for use, but I think a bit more information on the machine itself would come in handy. For example, you really did not cover anything about the components of the pump itself other than how to plug the tubing into it and turn it on. What is the plug or nob, next to the tubing connection for? perhaps some information on common issues with these machines when they malfunction and how one might be able to repair them in certain cases. Either way, thank you again for this video.

[@HannahDaws]

[@Papi11on]

Thank you so much for these excellent instructions. (I'm using an A&N Medical Compressor Nebluzer... very similar to the one display.) Currently having an acute asthma attack and ingesting steroids and antibiotics prescribed by my GP. These meds having yet kicked and I'm breathing is rattling and whistling. I've used the compressor nebulizer with 0.9% NaCl isotonic solution with the mouthpiece in the last 10 minutes, based on your video instructions and am delighted to say my ragged breaths are now much better
QUESTION for you, Doctor: how many times a day is it safe to use nebulizer? Many thanks.

[@deliawood1]

[@dantheman7370]

Do you have to ask your gp for medication?

[@DrStefanCristianStanel]

well nebulizers don't really work for everyone so probably best to discuss with your doctor if right in your situation
