Buy inhalation tablet with lidocaine. How to breathe correctly during inhalation with a nebulizer. Solutions and medications for inhalers for coughs

1. Inhalations should be taken no earlier than 1-1.5 hours after meals, and you should not be distracted by conversation. After inhalation, it is not recommended to talk, eat, or go outside for 1 hour (in cool weather).

2. For diseases of the upper respiratory tract (nose, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx), inhalation and exhalation must be done through the nose using a mask. Breathe calmly, without tension.

3. For diseases of the middle respiratory tract (throat, larynx), inhalation and exhalation should be done through the mouth using a mask. You should breathe calmly as usual

4. For diseases of the trachea, bronchi, and lungs, it is recommended to inhale the aerosol through the mouth using a mouthpiece. Breathe deeply and evenly.

5. Most solutions for inhalation are prepared using saline 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) as a solvent and humectant. The original drug is diluted with saline in certain proportions.

6. The prepared solution should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than a day. Be sure to warm to room temperature before use.

7. When prescribing several drugs simultaneously, the order should be observed. A bronchodilator is inhaled first, after 15-20 minutes - an agent that thins and removes sputum, then, after the sputum has passed, an antibiotic or anti-inflammatory agent.

8. The course of treatment depends on the complexity of the disease and the drug used (from 5 to 10 days)

9. Although nebulizer therapy does not apply to thermal physiotherapeutic procedures, it is nevertheless not recommended to perform inhalations at elevated body temperatures

10. It is prohibited to use oil preparations in nebulizers. Various oils are used to treat diseases only of the upper respiratory tract, for which exposure to coarse particles is sufficient, therefore steam inhalers are used for inhalation of oils. The nebulizer produces fine particles. When using oil solutions, fine particles of oil enter the lungs, and this significantly increases the risk of developing so-called oil pneumonia. Also, the use of essential oils in nebulizers increases the risk of allergies due to high concentration active substances in the lungs.

11. Most nebulizers do not allow the use of self-prepared decoctions and infusions of herbs, since they have a suspension that is much larger than aerosol particles and the nebulizer cannot miss them, which in turn can lead to damage to the device. For the same reason, suspensions and syrups are not used in nebulizers (with the exception of special suspensions for inhalation). Although there are nebulizers that can work with herbal decoctions.

12. Such medications like Eufillin, Papaverine, Diphenhydramine and similar drugs, also cannot be used in nebulizers, since they do not have “points of application” on the mucous membrane.

13. DO NOT FORGET TO CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR!

Rules for inhalation

Steam inhalations

To carry out such procedures you can use steam inhaler or a container with boiling liquid. These inhalations involve the use of only those solutions that can withstand heat. Often this is water with the addition of soda, salt, essential oils or medicinal herbs.

Using a nebulizer for procedures allows you to spray medicinal substances into tiny droplets and deliver them into the respiratory tract to the place where their action is important. For its operation, such a device can use ultrasound, a compressor or a special membrane.

Depending on the particles generated in the device, nebulizer inhalations can be aimed at different departments respiratory tract. Medicines converted into tiny particles will get into tissues faster respiratory system, and will also act on them longer and more effectively than with other methods of administration.

Solutions specially designed for use in such a device are poured into the nebulizer. Most often they are diluted in saline solution, and decoctions of herbs and oil solutions Most nebulizers cannot be used. Some models also have restrictions for medications, for example, corticosteroid hormones.

1. Products that help moisturize and soften mucous membranes. These include salt and mineral water, saline, water with soda. Such moisturizers are especially often prescribed for dry coughs.
2. Medications with a bronchodilator effect that help eliminate spasms in the respiratory tract. This group of drugs includes Berotek, Atrovent, Berodual and Ventolin. They are recommended for dry and allergic cough.
3. Agents with mucolytic action. Such drugs are Ambrobene, ACC, Bronchipret, Lazolvan, Mucaltin and others. They are indicated for both wet and dry coughs.
4. Anti-inflammatory agents to reduce swelling and inflammation. This effect is provided by Tonzilgon N, Pulmicort, Cromohexal, Rotokan and other drugs. They are recommended for barking, allergic and wet coughs.
5. Antitussive agents. These include Lidocaine and Tussamag. Such drugs are prescribed for barking cough.
6. Antiseptic agents for cleansing mucous membranes. This group includes Chlorophyllipt, Furacilin, Miramistin and Dioxidin. Their purpose is indicated for wet or barking cough.
7. Medicinal herbs with mucolytic, anti-inflammatory and emollient effects. Such herbs include sage, chamomile, coltsfoot, St. John's wort, mint, thyme and others. Their decoctions are used for dry coughs.

Dosages of solutions for inhalation

The inhalation method of treatment has been known since ancient times. Inhalation is inhalation. In fact, everything that gets inside a person along with inhaled air is inhalation. However, this concept has firmly entered our lives precisely as a method of treating various diseases. Most often, inhalations are done for coughs and.

For many, the word “inhalation” is associated with very unpleasant memories: a saucepan with boiled potatoes or brewed herbs, hot, scalding steam over which you need to breathe, covered with a blanket. For children, this procedure is akin to execution. In addition, it is dangerous due to burns to the mucous membranes due to very hot steam and to the skin if the contents of the saucepan accidentally tip over. But poor children, how can they protest against their mother’s imperious “must!”

It is necessary to forget about inhalation as a painful procedure. We live in a civilized world and treatment methods must be appropriate.

Advantages of the inhalation method of treatment

Inhalations are prescribed when various diseases, accompanied This acute infections upper respiratory tract, and even.

Pathological process in diseases of the respiratory tract, it is localized mainly on the mucous membranes, where viruses and bacteria multiply. In response to the introduction of infection, the mucous membrane responds with swelling and excessive production, which is manifested by a cough. Muscle spasm in the walls of the bronchi during obstructive diseases is another mechanism for the occurrence of cough.

Therefore, it seems natural that the effect of drugs directly on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract in these diseases will be much more effective than the administration of the same drugs by injection or tablets.

Suffice it to remember that the use of modern inhalation agents made a real revolution in the treatment of diseases such as bronchial asthma. Patients with this diagnosis who use inhaled medications live ordinary life without any restrictions and have long forgotten about daily attacks, calls to the ambulance and systemic administration of hormones with their irreversible side effects.

Drugs inhaled in the form of vapors or aerosols act locally, relieving swelling and irritation, moisturizing the mucous membrane, cleansing it, thinning mucus, helping to quickly remove it from the bronchi and thereby reducing treatment time. Inhalation drugs are absorbed into the general bloodstream in much smaller quantities than with traditional administration, therefore the risk of developing side effects minimized.

For this reason, inhalation treatment is gaining increasing popularity, especially since convenient home inhalers similar to stationary ones have appeared.

What types of inhalations are there?

Depending on the state of aggregation Inhaled inhaled substances can be divided into:

Inhalations are classified according to temperature:

1. Cold (temperature of the inhaled substance up to 30°).
2. Heat-moist (temperature 30-45°).
3. Steam (temperature 45-50°).

Main causes of cough

Cough accompanies almost all diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Cough - unconditioned reflex, which is caused by irritation of respiratory tract receptors. This reflex is protective and is aimed at cleansing the bronchial tree, trachea and pharynx.

Cough is a symptom, not a disease. IN different cases it has different reasons. So, in the first days of acute respiratory disease inflammation and swelling of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and trachea occurs, which causes irritation of the cough receptors. There is no sputum yet, the cough at this time is dry, obsessive, debilitating. After a few days, mucus production increases, the cough becomes productive, phlegm is cleared, the airways clear, and within 7-10 days the patient recovers. This pathogenesis of cough is characteristic of acute tracheitis, acute catarrhal bronchitis.

At acute laryngitis cough due to irritation reflex zones located in the larynx. The cough with laryngitis is also dry, obsessive, and does not bring relief. As a rule, there is no sputum with such a cough.

In case of complicated course of these diseases, joining bacterial infection, spread of inflammation to lower sections bronchial tree, the cough drags on because sputum, sometimes of a purulent nature, accumulates in the lumen of the bronchi, and the removal of this sputum is difficult. Cough caused by prolonged irritation from accumulating mucus is characteristic of bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis, (flow of mucus from the paranasal sinuses into the throat).

Cough can be caused by inhalation of irritants and dust. Allergies are also quite common reason cough.

Others, more rare causes cough : gastroesophageal reflux, foreign bodies, tumors, airway compression, heart failure, side effect some medications, neuroses.
