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 FIRST USED IN 1874 FOR A DEVICE THAT TURNS A LIQUID SUBSTANCE
INTO AN AEROSOL FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES. ONE OF THE FIRST PORTABLE
“AEROSOL APPARATUSES” WAS CREATED BY J. SALES-GIRONS IN PARIS IN 1859.
THE FIRST 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 thera-
peutic 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 broncho-
dilation (bronchi expansion) is reached, and the need for hospitalization is eliminated or the
hospital stay is reduced.
