  1. Omronhealthcare-ap.com (PH) What you need to Know about Nebuliser Therapy? If your doctor has prescribed a liquid medicine for inhalation then you require a nebuliser. The nebuliser will convert the liquid into a mist which can be inhaled and will reach your lungs to have the right effect. The Philippines has a hot and humid climate which is responsible for many people contracting asthma which is why nebuliser in the Philippines is very common. The fine mist created by the nebuliser is made up of a large number of particles. These particles are so small that they are measured in microns where one micron is a thousandth of a millimetre. If the particles have to reach deep within the lungs then their size should be between 1 and 5 microns. If you need a comparison then you should know that the human hair is around 50 microns in thickness. If the size of the particles being inhaled is not less than 5 microns then it is likely that they will not reach inside the lungs. How does the nebuliser compressor work? The compressor essentially is a pump that sucks in air and blows it out at high pressure into the ultrasonic nebuliser or jet. This way it produces a fine mist which can be inhaled. The compressor is powered by electricity and if it is a portable one then it can be powered by batteries. Three types of nebulisers The three types of nebulisers are – jet nebulisers, ultrasonic nebulisers and mesh nebulisers. The jet nebuliser is part of the system that changes the liquid into a mist. The compressor provides a flow of air to the nebuliser creating a mist. The ultrasonic nebuliser causes ultrasonic waves to pass through a reservoir of water creating energy to create the aerosol mist. These are not suitable for some prescribed medicines. In the mesh nebuliser, the liquid is pulled through a vibrating mesh which has microscopic holes and thus the fine mist is created. Your doctor is the best guide to suggest the type of nebuliser suited to you. You can easily buy good quality nebuliser in Philippines from online stores after conducting thorough research.
