Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 My almost 3 yr old had his 1st pulmozyme treatment today in his nebulizer. The medicine ran out in 3 minutes! Is that normal? I am used to the TOBI lasting 10 minutes and still having about 1cc leftover. It did sit in the nebulizer for about an hour before Ashton had it. could it have evaporated that quickly?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 If you are using the sidestream neb cups they do work very fast! It's nice. It takes a bit longer with Pari neb cups. But in my experience, 3 mintues sounds about right... Christen mom to 4 wcf and Peyton 5 mos no cf > My almost 3 yr old had his 1st pulmozyme treatment today in his > nebulizer.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 What 10 mins for TOBI??? ok we are getting whatever cup you are using! It takes us between 20 to 30 mins for a whole ampule of TOBI and I guess around 5 mins for pulmozyme. So, it seems like you are doing everything right by your numbers. > My almost 3 yr old had his 1st pulmozyme treatment today in his > nebulizer. The medicine ran out in 3 minutes! Is that normal?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I have noticed that the medicine leaks out of the nebulizer if it sits before you use it. I now put the medicine in right before we use it and put my finger underneath it so the medicine doesn't drip out. One other thing - I attach the hose to the empty neb cup to force air through the nebulizer. I am amazed at how much moisture is trapped in the nebulizer from the last treatment even though it looks dry.
