What are the advantages and disadvantages of atomization therapy? What are the precautions for use?

Atomization therapy is a kind of atomization inhalation therapy, which is a very common method to treat respiratory diseases in clinic. With the help of the atomization device, the drug is dispersed into tiny droplets and suspended particles, which are suspended in the gas and inhaled into the respiratory tract and lungs, and directly reach the action site.

The diseases treated are all respiratory diseases, including airway obstructive diseases, asthma, bronchitis and so on. At present, there are many dosage forms of drugs inhaled by atomization, which can be directly absorbed by respiratory tract and lung mucosa.

Advantages and disadvantages: Compared with the current atomization treatment, normal breathing is enough, which is more suitable for children, with small dosage and relative safety.

But it also has some disadvantages, such as long inhalation time and high cost. Adults take drugs orally or orally faster.

Pay attention to the use of 1. Before atomization, the secretions in the oral cavity and nasal cavity should be removed to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, because the respiratory tract unobstructed is the premise of drug inhalation.

2. The atomizer must be strictly disinfected before use and atomized with sterile solution.

3. There are many kinds of atomizers, so it is suggested that doctors choose the right atomizer, which has got twice the result with half the effort.
