NEBULIZER THERAPY – WHAT IS IT?
Nebulizer is a device for formation and spraying of aerosol. The word “nebulizer” is derived
from the Latin word “nebula” (fog, cloud) and was
fi
rst used in 1874 for a device that turns
a liquid substance into an aerosol for medical purposes. One of the
fi
rst portable “aerosol
apparatuses” was created by J. Sales-Girons in Paris in 1859. The
fi
rst nebulizers were used as
steam jet energy sources and were applied for inhalation the vapors of resins and antiseptics by
tuberculosis patients. Presently, the term “inhaler” is often used instead of “nebulizer”.
The purpose of the nebulizer therapy is to quickly deliver to the respiratory passages a
therapeutic doze of a preparation in aerosol form. Continuous supply of aerosol allows,
within several minutes, creating high concentration of a medicine in the upper and lower
respiratory passages and lungs, with low probability of any by-effects. Respectively, effective
bronchodilation (bronchi expansion) is reached, and the need for hospitalization is eliminated
or the hospital stay is reduced.
