NEBULIZER THERAPY AT SARKAR HOSPITAL, AGRA

What Is a Nebulizer?

A nebulizer is a medical device that converts liquid medicine into a fine mist (aerosol) that can be easily inhaled through a mouthpiece or face mask. This mist delivers medication directly into the lungs, making it highly effective for treating breathing problems such as:

  • Asthma

  • COPD

  • Bronchitis

  • Wheezing

  • Chest congestion

Nebulizers help open airways, reduce inflammation, and loosen mucus, making breathing easier. At Sarkar Hospital, Agra, nebulizer therapy is commonly used for both children and adults who need fast and effective respiratory relief.

Unlike handheld inhalers, nebulizers are powered by an air compressor that plugs into an electrical outlet and delivers medication over several minutes.

Supplies Needed for Nebulizer Therapy

To use a nebulizer safely and effectively, you will need:

  • Hand-held nebulizer cup

  • Air compressor machine

  • Mouthpiece or face mask

  • Connecting tubing

  • Prescribed liquid medication

All required equipment can be obtained through a medical equipment supplier or as advised by your healthcare provider.

Where Should You Use the Nebulizer?

  • Choose a clean, well-lit, and quiet area

  • Sit in a comfortable, straight-backed chair

  • Avoid lying down during treatment

  • Ensure you won’t be interrupted during therapy

Step-by-Step Nebulizer Treatment Procedure
