How To Use A Nebulizer

 Read the equipment instructions completely before you use a nebulizer. Even if you received personalized home instruction prior to use, follow these instructions before you use a nebulizer as they will vary from one manufacturer to another:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly before you use a nebulizer and make sure the equipment is clean.
  2. If using a multi-dose bottle of medicine, use a dropper to administer the correct dosage into the cup with saline solution. If the medicine is in single-use vials, twist the top off the plastic vial and squeeze the contents into the nebulizer cup.
  3. Connect the mouthpiece, or mask, to the T-shaped elbow. Fasten the unit to the cup. For children older than 2, using a mouthpiece is recommended because it will deliver more medication than a mask.
  4. Connect the nebulizer tubing to the port on the compressor.
  5. To use a nebulizer correctly, hold it in an upright position. This will prevent spillage.
