How do asthma patients use aerosol properly?

The use of aerosols is one of the effective methods for the treatment of asthma. The effect of inhalation therapy is related to the inhalation device and the correct method of use.

How do asthma patients use aerosol properly?

Commonly used inhalation devices have the following two categories:

1. Pressure-quantitative aerosol inhalers, such as Wanturin Aerosol, Aiquanle Aerosol, Bikone Aerosol, Pulmic Aerosol, etc. The use of a pressurized aerosol inhaler is as follows:

(1) Shake well before use, then open the lid.

(2) The patient exhales deeply before taking the medicine, exhales the air, and then puts the nozzle of the aerosol into the mouth. At this time, be aware that the lips must be tightly packed with the aerosol nozzle. If the bag is not tight, the mist sprayed by the aerosol will overflow from the gap of the lips.

(3) After that, the patient performs a deep inhalation action. When the deep inhalation starts, the aerosol switch is pressed to eject the medicine into the oral cavity. Only in this way, the sprayed drug mist will enter the trachea and bronchus along with the inspiratory flow, and finally reach the lesion.

(4) Finally, it should be reminded that asthma patients pay attention to the fact that many patients do not have a hernia action after spraying the fog. After the patient has finished spraying, be sure to hold the gas. After spraying, the suffocating gas is about ten seconds, and then exhaled. This will allow the drug to be deposited to the greatest extent in the trachea and bronchi to achieve a good therapeutic effect. If the patient does not have hernia after spraying, the injected medicine will immediately exhale from the mouth with exhalation, which makes it difficult to ensure the treatment effect.

Simply summarize the correct procedure and method for aerosol use in asthma patients: Shake - open the lid - deep exhale - lips with a tight nozzle - deep inhalation while spraying - suffocating for ten seconds.

2. Dry powder inhalers, commonly known as insurance, such as Pumike Dubao, Oaks Dubao. The dry powder inhaler is used as follows:

Remove the protective cap and check the dose indicator to see if there is enough medicine. Holding Pmick Du Bao in one hand and the bottom cover in the other hand, first turn right to the bottom and then to the left to the bottom, and hear a "click" to complete the filling of a dose. Before inhaling, gently exhale a breath, then put the mouthpiece in the mouth, take a deep breath, that is, complete an inhalation action. After taking the medicine, hold the breath for 5 to 10 seconds and close the cap.
