Types of Nebulizers
Most nebulizers work by using air compressors to create the mist containing the medicine.
A different kind, called an ultrasonic nebulizer, uses sound vibrations. Nebulizers come in three main types:
- Jet - Compressed air turns the medicine into a mist (tiny particles of medicine that float in the air).
- Mesh - Medicine is passed through a tiny mesh to create a fine mist.
- Ultrasonic - High frequency vibrations turn medicine into a mist.How long does a nebulizer treatment last
The droplets tend to be a bit larger. This kind of nebulizer is quieter, but costs more.
A nebulizer can be a smaller portable device or a plug-in tabletop machine you use at home. You will need a prescription from your health care provider to get a nebulizer.
