Helpful?           0
A machine for getting medicine into the lungs. A nebulizer makes a mixture of liquid medicine and water into a mist that a person then inhales (through a mask or a mouthpiece). Nebulizers are often used for babies and children too small to be able to coordinate using a metered dose inhaler. They are also sometimes used for people having severe asthma symptoms, as many people find it easier to take in the medicine this way when they are having a lot of trouble breathing.

Helpful?           0
A device that creates a mist out of your asthma drug, which makes it easy and pleasant to breath the drug into the lungs. The drug is placed into a small cup. Air from a small compressor converts the drug into an aerosol mist, which travels through a hose with a mouthpiece attached. By taking slow, deep breaths, the medicine is delivered into your lungs. Small children or others who cannot hold the mouthpiece tightly in their lips can wear a mask to maximize the effects of the medicine. Using a nebulizer is sometimes called a "breathing treatment."

A device that delivers asthma medications in a fine mist, through a mask, T-tube or mouthpiece. Nebulizers aid those who have difficulty with metered dose inhalers, such as infants and senior citizens, in effectively receiving medication.
Helpful?           0
Device (small air compressor, typically) for transforming a liquid (medicine) into a vapor. The vapor is inhaled, usually by means of a face mask or mouthpiece, into the lungs. The nebulization of the medicine into extremely fine particles increases the absorption rate by the lungs, making this one of the most effective delivery techniques available for home use. Less expensive nebulizers use an air compressor; ultrasonic models are very portable, nearly silent and faster but quite a bit more expensive. Need more information on nebulizers?

the component of a flame AA sample introduction system that draws aqueous solution into the mixing chamber and converts it to a fine mist of small droplets that are swept into the flame. It is typically a "pneumatic" nebulizer that operates on the principle of the Bernoulli effect, where the low pressure produced by air flowing rapidly into the mixing chamber through the nebulizer pulls the analyte-containing solution through a capillary tube.

A machine that changes liquid medicine into fine droplets (in aerosol or mist form) that are inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask — Nebulizers can be used to deliver bronchodilator (airway-opening) medicines such as albuterol, as well as anti-inflammatory medicines (Pulmicort Respules). A nebulizer might be used instead of a metered dose inhaler (MDI). It is powered by a compressed air machine and plugs into an electrical outlet.
