Re: (Debbie) Albuterol Nebulizer VS. Inhaler

[Guest guest]

I agree , and it seems the first few breaths off the neb start to open

(you or or whoever is doing it)up, and then you get more of the

medication down deep into the lungs where it is needed. Also doing

albuterol before Tobi or pulmozyme helps get those meds down in deeper since

the lungs are all nicely opened up (or as good as they get) and so (you or

or whoever) can get those lovely expensive meds deeper into the lungs

where they are needed. Does that make sense? prefers to do a

breathing treatment even though the inhaler is easier and faster. she just

uses the inhaler if she's caught out and gets short of breath or starts to

cough or wheeze. I would imagine if the person (I forget who you are) whose

baby was just prescribed the inhaler will be eventually prescribed a

nebulizer.
