1. What is the use of the nebulizer mask
The nebulizer mask, also known as the nebulizer mask, is a device used for nebulization inhalation therapy. Inhalation therapy is often used for the treatment of diseases such as bronchodilators or glucocorticoids for patients with asthma. There are two main types of nebulizer masks:
1. Ultrasonic nebulizer mask
The ultrasonic nebulizer mask uses the principle of ultrasound to disperse the liquid medicine. Atomization, since most of the drug particles produced can only be deposited in the upper respiratory tract such as the mouth and throat, and because the amount of deposition in the lungs is very small, it is mainly used to treat upper respiratory tract diseases.
2. Compressed nebulizer mask
Also called jet nebulization, it is a respirator mask made according to the principle of Venturi jet , using compressed air to form a high-speed airflow through the small nozzle, the negative pressure generated drives the liquid or other fluids to be sprayed onto the barrier together, and splashes around under the high-speed impact to make the droplets turn into mist-like particles and ejected from the air outlet.
Second, precautions for the use of atomized inhalation masks
Generally speaking, atomization treatment mainly uses mouthpieces or atomized masks. Under normal circumstances, the mouthpiece is generally better than the atomized mask, but the atomized mask is more suitable for infants and young children, especially those under 3 years old who cannot use the mouthpiece correctly, it is recommended to use the atomized mask.
Pay attention to the tightness of the mask when using a nebulized mask, because using a mask will increase the amount of aerosol deposited on the face, eyes and nose. Proper mask tightness can not only increase the amount of aerosol inhaled , and can reduce the risk of aerosolized drugs entering the eyes.
3. How often to replace the atomizing mask
The replacement frequency of the atomizing mask is generally determined according to the frequency of use, generally one set per person to avoid cross infection , If the frequency of use is relatively frequent, it is recommended to replace it every half a month to a month, and after each use, it should be cleaned and disinfected by local wiping with alcohol. If you use it infrequently, you can replace it every 2 to 3 months. There is also a disposable atomizing mask, which is best to be replaced after one use. If it is not contaminated, the use time can be slightly extended.
4. How to clean the atomizing mask
The atomizing mask is one of the accessories of the atomizer. It needs to be cleaned in time after each use. Avoid the remaining drug residues attached to it and affect the therapeutic effect of the drug; and if the cleaning is not timely, it will lead to the contamination of fine dust bacteria, and inhalation into the human body during the second atomization treatment may cause infection, so it should be cleaned in time. .
To clean the atomized mask, you can mainly rinse it with running water. After cleaning, remove the excess water, and place it in a clean and hygienic place to dry naturally. You can also use alcohol to wipe and disinfect it locally.
