  • Delivering nebulized medication is the core of respiratory therapy, but many non-RTs give nebulizers, including home therapy by the patient. The training is usually "see one" and "do one", but there is much more to delivering nebulized medications.
    This video will discuss the basics and some helpful hints I have picked up from direct patient care.

    gives the best instructions I have ever had on using a nebulizer...an explanation of parts and assembling and using a nebulizer. Extremely beneficial for patients to watch! Thankyou. Every RT needs to explain things in this way to a patient.... complete in detail.

    I have pneumonia and collapsed lung, and my PCP, after not seeing me for a month! prescribed a nebulizer, but I had no idea how to use it. They showed me how to put it together at the medical supply store, but not how to USE it! I was using it as an inhaler, and turning it off after every breath! So I am most grateful for Jimmy's instruction!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! and #MedicareForAll because our current health care system sucks!!

    Thank you for this. I have been nebulizing for years and didn't know I could hook it up to my 02. I just usually leave the cannula on my nose. I also had switched from the one with the 'hose' on the end. I will go back to that. Be blessed.

      Same with nasal sprays they just hand them to you and if you don’t have insurance nebulizers can run you from anywhere from $100-$200. They’re like $60 on Amazon talk about highway robbery.

      You would add saline to the med to reach a total volume of 3mL. This will help the nebulizer work properly.

    Had a respiratory infection after some really bad allergies and was told to take Albuterol treatments at home. Thank you for this informative video. My machine wasn’t working and watching the video helped me troubleshoot it. Also, I’ve given plenty of these to my daughter in the past, but seeing your tip on how to know if someone is breathing in from nose or mouth was good to see. Now I’ll be able to tell if my daughter with Down syndrome is taking her medication correctly the next time we have to pull out the home nebulizer. :)

    Great video, well explained. I’m just starting with my T Neb and I’d like to know how you administer N-acetylciesteine from a vial (mucomist?) I have to tear the metal protective cap off and unplug but when I turned it upside down it didn’t come out. I looked at the cup a little closer and earlier was instructed to take the inner mechanism out to clean and noticed the stem was approximately the same size as the vial opening. I inserted the vial upside down and it came pouring into the cylinder/cup. Is this ok or should I use a sterilized syringe ? Thanks

    A bit late, but GEE, THANKS! Came back in to sub. I've had copd for YEARS, and have the WORST SUPPORT in the country, I think(Okla). After all these years, it took HOSPITALIZATION to get to speak to a RT, who only explained things after i NAILED HIM TO THE WALL. It feels like you're giving a test that you don't have the answers for! And you're not sure what questions to ask, but when you do, you'd better be VERY SPECIFIC. Because they don't volunteer much at all. I'm only interested in proper utilization and getting the most out of my meds, but when i ask (stupid?) questions, my docs just look at me like I"M the stupid one, when they can't even come up with an answer, such as "What's the purpose of this "reservoir tube?" So, clearly THEY'RE not interested in proper techniques or meds. Or tell me it's not their field, but when I ask my doc a question, I EXPECT THEM TO FIND OUT IF THEY DON'T KNOW. I certainly never expected to be left twisting in the wind. Repeatedly. Or even harmed by meds because they can't read their charts! "That's why they call it a "practice." " Geeze, no sh!t? *skeered* *of doctors*
    Thanks for your invaluable videos, SERIOUSLY! I'm only alive for sheer spite, lmao.

    My moms having shortness of.Breath quite often lately and I’m very worried bc she’s almost 80. She keeps getting the asthma inhalers. I got a nebulizer after hearing about them. But I think I got wrong med. I got ASTHMANEFRIN. I read it can’t be used in nebulizer but it looks very similar to the med u used in video. I guess that’s the albuterol. Do u need a prescription for that? Will Drs normally give that to you? Or is there another med otc u can buy? If u have any other tips that can help her, pls let me know. Idk what I’ll do without her 😕

    hi! I really enjoy your videos! Question though, at 14:30, you say you put some saline in the nebulizer and swoosh is around so its not "dry"... couldn't you also use water (if applicable) instead of wasting the Saline? Or is there a specific reason that you only used saline?
    Thank you!!!
