Nebulizers are a very important and effective way to provide asthma medication to the patient. To use:
- Fill the hub, or holder, with the asthma medication
- Close the hub and assure that the tube is connected to the hub and nebulizer
- Turn the nebulizer on and have the patient breathe in and out through the mouthpiece or the mask
- Breathe in and out calmly and at normal pace
- When the nebulizer sputters or is empty the treatment is done
- Rinse the hub and place on a paper towel to dry
