What do I need to pay attention to when atomizing?

Preparation before nebulization: moderate temperature and humidity are required, and when the aerosol temperature is too low, it is easy to cause tracheal contraction and spasm and aggravate the nebulization stimulation of children. For those with a lot of phlegm, sputum should be suctioned first and then nebulized, and if there is nasal secretion, nasal irrigation can be done before nebulization.

Attention to nebulization: In the selection of body position, due to the low lung capacity and tidal volume in the recumbent position, irritability and shortness of breath are easy to occur during inhalation, so when infants and young children inhale nebulization, it is advisable to choose a semi-sitting position or a sitting position, and the older children teach them to learn to breathe deeply and slowly to increase the range of motion of the chest and improve the lung capacity. In terms of the time of nebulization, the time of each nebulization is 5-15 minutes, and the interval time depends on the condition. In the choice of nebulizer, children of different ages can choose different oxygen nebulizers, generally older children are more cooperative, can choose oral device, and for young children, need to choose a mask.

Because the drug may cause local irritation during the nebulization process, when it is found that the child has frequent coughing, shortness of breath and other symptoms during the nebulization process, the inhalation should be immediately suspended for observation, and whether it is suitable for continued nebulization therapy should be evaluated after remission. In addition, if the child does not stop crying during nebulization, it will also affect the inhalation and affect the treatment effect. It should also be noted that the aerosolized aerosol should not be directed towards the eyes to avoid irritation to the eyes.

After nebulization, the sputum is diluted, and the sputum adhered to the trachea and bronchi wall can be shed off by external forces such as patting the back, which is conducive to the discharge of sputum, so after the nebulization, parents can pat the child’s back, and when patting the back, the five fingers are put together into a hollow shape, and gently patted rhythmically from top to bottom and from the outside to the inside, at the same time, after nebulization, it is necessary to pay attention to gargling and wiping the outside of the mouth and nose with water to reduce the side effects of residual drugs.
