What is Compressor Nebulizer?

 

In medicine, a nebulizer is a drug delivery device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs.(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulizer)

Compressor Nebulizer/ Atomizer Jet Nebulizer are connected by tubing to a compressor, that causes compressed air or oxygen to flow at high velocity through a liquid medicine to turn it into an aerosol.
Compressor Nebulizer uses compressed air to generate a fine mist.

2. What is Ultrasonic nebulizers?

Ultrasonic nebulizers uses ultrasonic vibrations passed through water to generate a fine mist.

3 Basic things you should know about Non Contact Infrared Thermometer

 

1. What is non contact infrared thermometer?

2.Are non contact thermometers accurate?

3.What’s the price?

1. What is Non Contact Infrared Thermometer/contactless thermometer?

 

An infrared thermometer is a thermometer which infers temperature from a portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called black-body radiation emitted by the object being measured.

Infrared Thermometer-bh care

2. Are non contact thermometers accurate?

We need to take a serious look at the Clinic Research to answer this question.

Dr. Teran and his team have test 434 patients for the research. 167 were identified with fever.

The mean difference in temperature between the rectal temperature and the non-contact thermometer was 0.029 ± 0.01 °C, while the mean difference between the temporal artery thermometer and the rectal temperature was -0.20 ± 0.27 °C. The sensitivity and specificity for the non-contact thermometer is 97%. The negative predictive value is 99%.

In a word, the accuracy is not 100%, but it’s acceptable enough to rule out fever and avoid unnecessary laboratory work-up. The non-contact infrared thermometer is a reliable, comfortable and accurate option for measurement of temperature and is very useful for the screening of fever in the paediatric population. More studies are recommended to support the evidence found in this study and compare its accuracy with more complex devices.

 

And at this special time, it’s important to measure peoples temperature without touching fast, so the touchless thermometer seems to have more pros than cons.

2.Blood Oxygen Levels – pulse oximetry

3.COVID-19 test kit

1. Body Temprature – thermometer

 

Using a thermometer to monitor your body temprature and call your doctor if you have fever.

Fingertip Pulse Oximeter-bh care

2. Blood Oxygen Levels – Pulse Oximetry

Low blood oxygen is a sign that something’s wrong with your lungs. A bad viral pneumonia like COVID-19 can cause those levels to drop.

You can track your blood oxygen levels (and your heart rate) with a pulse oximeter — it’s easy, painless, and non-invasive, and inexpensive.

What is pulse oximetry?

Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood. It is an easy, painless measure of how well oxygen is being sent to parts of your body furthest from your heart, such as the arms and legs.

A clip-like device called a probe is placed on a body part, such as a finger or ear lobe. The probe uses light to measure how much oxygen is in the blood. This information helps the healthcare provider decide if a person needs extra oxygen.

Most of the pulse oximeters available online and over the counter are battery-operated and clamp on a finger.

What is a normal reading on an oximeter?

A measurement of your blood oxygen is called your oxygen saturation level. In medical shorthand, you may hear it called a PaO2 when using a blood gas and an O2 sat (SpO2) when using a pulse ox. These guidelines will help you understand what your result might mean:

Normal: A normal ABG oxygen level for healthy lungs falls between 80 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). If a pulse ox measured your blood oxygen level (SpO2), a normal reading is typically between 95 and 100 percent.

 

However, in COPD or other lung diseases, these ranges may not apply. Your doctor will let you know what’s normal for your specific condition. For example, it isn’t uncommon for people with severe COPD to maintain their pulse ox levels (SpO2) between 88 to 92 percentTrusted Source.

6 Basix Things You Should Know About Nebulizer

6 Basic things you should know about nebulizer before taking order | BH CARE

By BH CARE Product, Nebulizer

6 Basic things you should know about nebulizer machine before taking order are:

 

1.What is nebulizer?

2.What is a nebulizer machine used for?

3.How to choose the right Nebulizer System? What’s the price ?

4.What’s the Difference Between a Nebulizer and an Inhaler?

5.How to use a nebulizer?

6.How to maintain and clean the nebulizer machine?

1. What is nebulizer

 

In medicine, a nebulizer is a drug delivery device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs.(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulizer)

A nebulizer machine system includes a nebulizer device or medicine cup, a compressor, tubing, mouthpiece and tubing connectors.

6 Basix Things You Should Know About Nebulizer

2. What is a nebulizer machine used for?

Nebulizer turns the medication from liquid to mist so it will be much more easier for patients to inhaled the medicine straightly into the lungs.

People have asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis or other lung disease need nebulizer to take their medicine.

Sometimes, a doctor will prescribe a nebulizer for a child who has a respiratory infection, such as bronchiolitis.

Nebulized therapy is also called as “breathing treatment.” And a variety of medications — both for immediate relief and maintenance of asthma symptoms — are available for use with a nebulizer.

6 Basix Things You Should Know About Nebulizer

3. How to choose the right Nebulizer System? What’s the price ?

There are threee kinds of Nebulizer in the market, the Ultrasonic Nebulizer, the Compressor Nebulizer and Portable Nebulizer. Let me introduce all three for you so you can make the right decision.

Ultrasonic Nebulizer is the oldest technology, Compressor Nebulizer / Atomizer Jet Nebulizer is most common product and Portable Nebulizer is most convinience kind. The core technology is different for the three kind.

Portable Mesh Nebulizer : Mesh nebulizers are driven by a piezo-element and use ultrasonic frequencies to vibrate the mesh. The vibration of the mesh causes aerosol generation as the liquid passes through it.

Compressor Nebulizer/ Atomizer Jet Nebulizer : Jet nebulizers are connected by tubing to a compressor, that causes compressed air or oxygen to flow at high velocity through a liquid medicine to turn it into an aerosol

Ultrasonic Nebulizer : Ultrasonic nebulizer machine produce ultrasonic waves directly into the solution causing aerosol to be produced at the liquid surface.

Mesh Nebulizer-bh care

But the real difference we should care is the Particle size of the medicine mist, because the smaller the size is, it will go deeper to our body.

Particle sizes from the nebulization process should ideally be in the range of 1 to 5 microns. Particles less than 1 micron will remain suspended in air and will not deposit within the bronchial tree. Particles greater than 5 microns tend to deposit in the upper respiratory tract.

  • Ultrasonic Nebulizer : 5 to 3 microns
  • Compressor Nebulizer/ Atomizer Jet Nebulizer : 2 to 5 microns
  • Portable Mesh Nebulizer : 1 to 5 microns

6 Basix Things You Should Know About Nebulizer

4. What’s the Difference Between a Nebulizer and an Inhaler?

Inhalers

Inhalers are portable, handheld devices that are available in two types:

Metered dose inhalers (MDI) are the most commonly prescribed. Like mini-aerosol cans, these devices push out a pre-measured spray of medicine. When the person squeezes the inhaler, a measured “puff” of medicine is released. Some MDIs have counters that indicate how many doses remain. If there’s no counter, the number of doses already used should be tracked, so that the inhaler can be replaced on time.

Kids who use a metered dose inhaler also might use a spacer, which attaches to the inhaler and makes it easier to use. A spacer is a kind of holding chamber for the medicine, which eliminates the need to closely coordinate squeezing the inhaler and inhaling the medicine. With an inhaler and spacer, the medicine can be inhaled slowly when the user is ready. So, it’s possible for very young kids and even babies to receive their medications using a metered dose inhaler with a spacer.

Spacers also make inhalers more effective. Sometimes with an MDI, the medicine will reach the back of the throat but not get down into the lower airways. A spacer helps to deliver the medicine into the lower airways, which is where it needs to go to work properly.

nebulizer machine

Nebulizers are electric- or battery-powered machines that turn liquid asthma medicine into a fine mist that’s inhaled into the lungs. The user breathes in the mist through a mouthpiece or facemask. Nebulizers vary in size and shape, but can be a bit bulky and noisy and may need to be plugged in.

A child doesn’t have to “do” anything to receive the medicine except stay in one place and accept the mouthpiece or facemask. It usually takes about 5 or 10 minutes to give medication by nebulizer, and sometimes longer. Nebulizers can be less effective if a child is crying during use, since less medicine will be inhaled.

6 Basix Things You Should Know About Nebulizer

5. How to use a nebulizer ?

There are two steps for using the nebulizer mechine, assemble the nebulizer and taking the treatment.

How to Assemble the Nebulizer and Air Compressor

  • Place the compressor where it can safely reach its power source and where you can reach the ON/OFF switch.
  • Wash your hands prior to preparing each treatment.
    Use a clean nebulizer.
  • Measure the correct dose of medication and other solutions prescribed by your physician. Add these to the nebulizer.
  • Connect the air tubing from the compressor to the nebulizer base.
  • Attach a mouthpiece to the nebulizer.

How to use a nebulizer

  • Wash the hands.
  • Add the medicine to the medicine cup, according to the doctor’s prescription.
  • Assemble the top piece, tubing, mask, and mouthpiece.
  • Attach the tubing to the machine, according to the instructions.
  • Turn the nebulizer on; they can be battery- or electrically powered.
    While using the nebulizer, hold the mouthpiece and medicine cup upright to help deliver all the medication.
  • Take slow, deep breaths through the mouthpiece and inhale all the medicine.

If the Nebulizer Is Not Misting

  • Check all connections.
  • Refer to manufacturer’s instructions
6 Basix Things You Should Know About Nebulizer

6. How to maintain and clean the nebulizer

First of all, it’s very important to clean and maintain the nebulizer in the daily use, it’s not only for the personal health, the reminding medicine

Boiling Water

  • Wash your hands.
  • Take the nebulizer apart.
  • Put all the parts of the PARI LC JET+ TM except the mask, tubing and interrupter in boiling water for 10 minutes.
  • After boiling the nebulizer shake off any excess water
  • Reattach the nebulizer pieces and tubing to the air compressor and turn on the compressor to dry the nebulizer quickly. Make sure the nebulizer is completely dry before storing the nebulizer.
  • Vinegar and Water

Wash your hands.

  • Soak all parts of the nebulizer (except mask, tubing and interrupter) for 1 hour in a solution of 1 part distilled white vinegar and 3 parts hot water. The solution should be fresh. Remove the parts from the vinegar solution and rinse them in water. Discard the solution.
  • Shake off any excess water.
  • Reattach the nebulizer pieces and tubing to the air compressor and turn on the compressor to dry the nebulizer quickly. Make sure the nebulizer is completely dry before storing the nebulizer.
  • The tubing is replaced every two weeks because it is difficult to clean and dry properly.

5 Basic Thing You Need To Know About Pulse Oximeter

5 basic thing you need to know about Pulse Oximeter before purchasing

By BH CARE Product, Pulse Oximeter

5 Basic Thing You Need To Know About Pulse Oximeter Before Purchasing are:

 

1.What is an oximeter used for? Why might I need pulse oximetry?

2.How does pulse oximeter work?

3.What is a normal reading on an oximeter?

4.What level of oxygen is dangerous?

5.Pulse oximeter price?

5 Basic Thing You Need To Know About Pulse Oximeter

1.What is an oximeter used for? Why might I need pulse oximetry?

 

Pulse oximetry is a measure of how much oxygen is in the blood.

Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method for monitoring a person’s oxygen saturation (SO2)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_oximetry). It is an easy, painless measure of how well oxygen is being sent to parts of your body furthest from your heart, such as the arms and legs.

A clip-like device called a probe is placed on a body part, such as a finger or ear lobe. The probe uses light to measure how much oxygen is in the blood. This information helps the healthcare provider decide if a person needs extra oxygen.

Every system and organ in the body needs oxygen to survive. Without oxygen, cells begin to malfunction and eventually die. Cell death can cause severe symptoms and ultimately lead to organ failure.

Pulse oximetry may be used to see if there is enough oxygen in the blood. This information is needed in many kinds of situations. It may be used:

During or after surgery or procedures that use sedation

  • To see how well lung medicines are working
  • To check a person’s ability to handle increased activity levels
  • To see if a ventilator is needed to help with breathing, or to see how well it’s working
  • To check a person has moments when breathing stops during sleep (sleep apnea)

Pulse oximetry is also used to check the health of a person with any condition that affects blood oxygen levels, such as:

  • Heart attack
  • Heart failure
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Anemia
  • Lung cancer
  • Asthma
  • Pneumonia

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/pulse-oximetry

5 Basic Thing You Need To Know About Pulse Oximeter

2.How does pulse oximeter work?

Pulse oximeters are clip-on devices that measure oxygen saturation. The device may be attached to a finger, a wrist, a foot, or any other area where the device can read blood flow.

Oxygen saturation can drop for many reasons, including:

  • suffocation
  • choking
  • infections, such as pneumonia
  • drowning
  • diseases, such as emphysema, lung cancer, and lung infections
  • inhaling poisonous chemicals
  • heart failure or a history of heart attacks
  • allergic reactions
  • general anesthesia
  • sleep apnea

Pulse oximeters work by shining a light through a relatively transparent area of the skin. The light shines through to a detector positioned on the other side of the skin.

For example, when a pulse oximeter is clipped onto a finger, one side of the clip shines the light, and the other detects it.

The amount of light absorbed by the blood indicates the oxygen saturation. A pulse oximeter does not directly measure oxygen saturation but instead uses a complex equation and other data to estimate the exact level.

3.What is a normal reading on an oximeter?

A measurement of your blood oxygen is called your oxygen saturation level. In medical shorthand, you may hear it called a PaO2 when using a blood gas and an O2 sat (SpO2) when using a pulse ox. These guidelines will help you understand what your result might mean:

Normal: A normal ABG oxygen level for healthy lungs falls between 80 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). If a pulse ox measured your blood oxygen level (SpO2), a normal reading is typically between 95 and 100 percent.

However, in COPD or other lung diseases, these ranges may not apply. Your doctor will let you know what’s normal for your specific condition. For example, it isn’t uncommon for people with severe COPD to maintain their pulse ox levels (SpO2) between 88 to 92 percentTrusted Source.
https://www.healthline.com/health/normal-blood-oxygen-level#oxygen-levels

4.What level of oxygen is dangerous?

An oxygen level below 88% can be dangerous for any period of time. An oxygen level below 85% warrants a trip to the hospital. Keep in mind that an oxygen level 80% and lower puts your vital organs in danger, so it is important to keep a blood oxygen level chart handy so you know what levels require immediate treatment.

5.Pulse oximeter price

There are many device available in the market, the price is from 15 USD to 100 USD, so what’s the real differences and how could we choose?

Pulse Oximeter Shopping Tips

  • Accuracy: Select a device with no more than a 2 percent plus or minus margin of error.
  • Battery Life: How long do the batteries last? The pulse oximeters we chose have batteries that last 30 to 40 hours, which can last years.
  • Display: Does the unit have an easy-to-read display in all light conditions? Look for things like back-lit displays and rotating displays.An another big difference is that does the device has pulse rate waveform? Which can help monitoring the pulse rate in a period of time
  • Alarms: Does the pulse oximeter device warn you about a low battery, when you are low on oxygen or have a low heartbeat?
  • Durability: Look to see what kind of warranty comes with each pulse oximeter model. This often speaks to the durability of the device.
  • Fit: Does the unit fit your finger comfortably? Most pulse oximeters come in the range of 0.5 to 3 inches. The pulse oximeter should fit snugly around your finger. If your finger bulges out, the oximeter is too small. Before ordering a pulse oximeter online, measure your finger from the tip of your nail to the bottom of the pad or first line on the end of your finger.

Why You Need Forehead thermometer and Oximeter for Coronavirus(COVID-19) | BH CARE

By BH CARE Product, Pulse Oximeter, Thermometer

We believe, the most important three things you need to store for you and your family’s health during the Coronavirus(COVID-19) are: mask, thermometer, and oximeter.

We believe, the most important three things you need to store for you and your family’s health during the Coronavirus(COVID-19) are:

Let’s explain more about why. We also provide all these product as a pack, contact us if you want to take a order.

Overview

1.Firstly, how to protect your self in public: MASK
How to choose mask?

2.Then, How to know if you have Coronavirus Symptoms: Thermometer

3.What if you do have the Symptoms but can not test in time and been aks to Self-Quarantine , how to monitor your health: Oximeter
What I should know before purchasing Oximeter? What is a normal reading on an oximeter? What level of oxygen is dangerous?

mask

1.Firstly, how to protect your self in public: MASK

Do I really need to wear mask?

My personal suggestion is: YES, you should definitely wear a mask in public.
I know there are many experts said that you don’t need to wear mask if you and the people around you are health.(WHO: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public: When and how to use masks https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks)

But the big problem is that: the Coronavirus has an 7 to 14 days incubation period, and a person who already got the virus may not have any symptoms but still can spread the virus to others.
So how can we tell if ourself or other people has already got the Coronavirus if there is no symptoms? I don’t think we can ,so what we can do is to protect our self and others by wearing mask.

How to choose mask?

There are many kind of mask in the market now, but which kind works for us? We will break it down for you.
Surgical masks or N95 mask?
It’s a very sample fact that N95 mask will be more protective than a surgical mask for sure, but one reason why we should still choose a regular surgical mask is that for most people who won’t deal with a lot of people like some public service staff or doctors who need to take care of 2019-nCoV infection patients, you don’t need to wear N95 mask, and let’s save it for the people who really need it.

2. Then, How to know if you have Coronavirus Symptoms: Thermometer

Do I have Coronavirus Symptoms?

Coronavirus has many Symptoms, some Symptoms like the regular flu like coughing, but some Symptoms is not like flu at all like diarrhea. But the most common Symptoms, which has been seen as one of the most important signal is fever.
Once your body temperature goes up to 37.3°C, you should call your doctor. So it’s essential to have thermometer in your house during this special time. And if you have multiple family member, I do suggest you prepare an no touch forehead thermometer to avoid cross infection.

3. What if you do have the Symptoms but can not test in time and been ask to Self-Quarantine , how to monitor your health: Oximeter

For people who do not know what Pulse oximetry is, Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive and painless test that measures your oxygen saturation level, how much oxygen is present in your blood and how well it is transported to the extremities.
Why oxygen saturation level is important for Coronavirus?
For example, if you have fever at home, but not major discomfort and you can not get the test or go to the hospital, how to monitor your health? Oximeter is very helpful for this case, because one of the sighs that means the patients is getting worse is the oxygen saturation going low.

What I should know before purchasing Oximeter? What is a normal reading on an oximeter? What level of oxygen is dangerous?

Normal: A normal ABG oxygen level for healthy lungs falls between 80 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). If a pulse ox measured your blood oxygen level (SpO2), a normal reading is typically between 95 and 100 percent.

However, in COPD or other lung diseases, these ranges may not apply. Your doctor will let you know what’s normal for your specific condition. For example, it isn’t uncommon for people with severe COPD to maintain their pulse ox levels (SpO2) between 88 to 92 percentTrusted Source.

Below normal: A below-normal blood oxygen level is called hypoxemia. Hypoxemia is often cause for concern. The lower the oxygen level, the more severe the hypoxemia. This can lead to complications in body tissue and organs.

Normally, a PaO2 reading below 80 mm Hg or a pulse ox (SpO2) below 95 percent is considered low. It’s important to know what’s normal for you, especially if you have a chronic lung condition.

Your doctor can provide recommendations as to what ranges of oxygen levels are acceptable for you.
