1.Close Observation of The Kids’ Conditions:

  • When there is a lot of respiratory secretions, first pat the back and expectorate sputum. If necessary, suck sputum for the child first;
  • When the child is crying, nebulization should not be forced. It should be done after comfortable or deep sleep;
  • When the child is crying, the mask should not be tightly closed to the mouth and nose.So that the complexion can be easily observed;
  • If there is cyanosis of the mouth and nose, the atomization should be suspended. It should be observed after improvement.
Sitting is the best. Infants can be placed in a semi-recumbent position. This is conducive to the deposition of the liquid into the terminal bronchioles and alveoli.

3.Pay attention to control the amount of atomization:

Because the laryngeal tissue of young children is not fully developed, the buffering effect of the throat cavity and nose hair is small.When they just start inhaling, you can put the mouthpiece or mask farther away.Let the child get used to it, and then gradually shorten the distance.Otherwise, a large amount of cold mist enters the airway sharply in a short time, which may cause discomfort such as irritating cough, induce asthma. And even cause bronchospasm, resulting in suffocation and difficulty breathing.The correct method is to keep the compressor nebulizer nozzle 6-7 cm away from the child at the beginning. Then, gradually reduce it to about 3 cm, the purpose is to let the child adapt to the temperature of the atomized liquid.Reduce the stimulation of the airway by the cold air, reduce the discomfort of the child, and thus improve the compliance of treatment.

4.Time of compressor nebulizer for kids

  • It is especially important to grasp the timely and moderate inhalation therapy.
  • According to the condition, master the inhalation interval.
  • Reference should also be made to the drug insert for instructions on maximum doses and intervals.

On the one hand, it can prevent the inhalation interval being too long, the sputum being thick and difficult to expectorate.

On the other hand, it is necessary to prevent excessive inhalation, which exceeds the ability of the trachea and lungs to clear water, resulting in excessive production of sputum, and even pulmonary edema.

Mainly to observe the discomfort of children, to avoid shortness of breath, irritability and other symptoms as appropriate.

  • After nebulization, let the children rinse their mouths to reduce the deposition of drugs in the oral cavity and pharynx and avoid Candida infection.
  • Rinse with 2% sodium bicarbonate for kids which long-term hormonal therapy..
  • Younger children can wipe the mouth with a cotton ball of normal saline and drink it after 10 minutes.
  • After using phlegm-relieving drugs, pat on the back to facilitate the discharge of phlegm.
  • Children should wash their face immediately after completing a course of compressor nebulizer inhalation to reduce the amount of medicine that may be absorbed through the skin.
