Aerosol Therapy

Aerosol therapy uses a nebulizer to turn liquid medicine into a mist that can be inhaled into the lungs.

What is a Nebulizer?

A nebulizer is a plastic device that connects to a compressed air machine in order to make liquid medicine into a mist that can be inhaled and that can reach deep inside a patient’s lungs where it is most effective.

The nebulizer consists of a cup, a mouthpiece attached to a T-shaped piece (or a mask), and thin plastic tubing that connects the cup to the compressed air machine.
