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.
My granddaughter has asthma. ...recent diagnosis. And we were having trouble explaining to her how to do this ! A very very big thank you to your video sir!!! She now does them as you showed ..perfectly!!! 🎉🎉😊
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! I just started with a nebulizer at home and you instructions were excellent. I deeply appreciated the help you gave me. You deserve an award.
You did a great job in explaining everything and how each one works. I have used a nebulizer off and on for a while now, and still learned from you. Thank you for a very informative video.
Thank you so much!! I was trying to help my mother wit her treatment. I had no idea what I was doing until I viewed your video. She was not using it properly. Now she is!! I can't than you enough. God Bless you!
Thanks for making the video! I was never taught to use my nebulizer properly and had questions. I was informed and now I will be getting the best out of my treatments. ♥️
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. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this video. My Aeromist Nebulizer arrived in on my doorstep w/no instructions how to use it. I appreciate the time you took to teach us how. 😊
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.
I don't usually comment on videos but I'm in RT school and your videos have helped me so much with learning clinical skills and being more confident before I go in on rotations. Thank you sm!
Thank you for this video. I am an RN and we don't give breathing treatments to our patients....only the respiratory therapists do. With the increased demand of RT's needed in this Covid pandemic, I am now required to do breathing treatments. This video has taught me a lot! Thank You!
What? Nurses can't give neb treatments? I keep finding more and more things medics can do that nurses can't, yet you guys are paid 3x more than we are. Lol.
How can you get the long narrow tubing cleaned well. The water does not evaporate well and dry from the tubing easily. 😢 Could you do a video on properly cleaning all the components and the tubing of the nebulizer.🙌🏽
Thank you so much for this informative video. This information was soooooo much more helpful than the limited information I had. Thank you for making this easy to understand.
Thank you. Very helpful. Really enjoyed how you demonstrated on how to use. Hospitals offer nebulizer treatment but never offer on how use properly. Enjoyed the show. Keep up the good work
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.
This is such a helpful video. I only needed an explanation of the left over medicine and why it's not being used but I ended up watching the whole video and learned a lot. My child had to receive a take-home nebulizer treatment and I needed to learn as much as possible for his health. Thank you for a thorough video!
Thank you so much for providing these videos! This is great info to have in Family Medicine residency training to better work in allied health teams with RT’s and help patients! Also really appreciated the video on evaluating inhaler use in patients!
Thank you for doing this video. Fantastic, clear instructions. I live in the UK and have just been given a nebuliser to use and wasn't sure if I was using it correctly. I am talking antibiotic dissolved in saline solution. My 'gadget' does not have a reservoir tube it has the tower with the one way valves. I think I have this one because I get asthma. The nurse said to breathe in through my mouth and out through my nose. I am going to try the breathing method you demonstrated. I've been using it for just over a week. I was told to wash all the plastic bits (apart from the air tube) in warm soapy water and let it air dry.
, I just started a breathing treatment tonight, and I wasn't sure about everything ,but your info got me up and going, so I subscribe, and liked ,and I will watching your vids, to see what else you do ,and again thanks.
Been Nebulizing saline, h202, and a drop of iodine for the last 12 years to battle infections. The mixture was done by my Dr in a saline bag to take home. It’s done wonders for my breathing when I get a cold or congestion. Never used antibiotics since or abuterol.
I think he said he uses the saline to prime the nebulizer for its first use. He called it a dry neb. He puts the saline in and then dumps it out before adding the medication.
Agreed with @bicklehoff794. If the medication comes in a concentrated dose of 0.5mL, you'll need to add saline to total 3mL to allow the neb to run properly.
Thanks for all your videos! I’m a post-polio with less than 50% VC. I have several of the respiratory devices you demonstrated. Your information has been very good and appreciated. Thank you again. 👍🏼
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.
I appreciate you I was actually suppose to give to my client and I just checked this out but the medication didnt come out and I was shocked but the family of thr client called me to say the machine was bad that the hospice have to change it but as you demonstrate this now I know something is wrong with the machine thanks you ma brother . George
A little bit more about cleaning after use. I rinse off the container, the tower and the baffle after each use. I hang the hose with container still attached over my towel rack to dry. I set the baffle and tower out to dry. Looks like I should just dump out remainder with baffle never coming out of container and throwing all parts into a plastic bag till next use?? Good to know about replacing tube every 30 days. I was rinsing this out, too. One more thing - can the green 'vents' be replaced? They seem to become not as efficient over time in allowing the exhalation to escape. Thank you.
Why do some jet nebulizer systems not have the corrugated tube but just a short mouthpeace? Does the corrugated mouthpeace improve distribution of medication?
Jet nebs concentrate the medication in the larger housing and therefore do not use a piece of corrugated tubing. If I was taking a nebulizer and wanted the maximal amount of medication per breath, I would add a really long piece of corrugated tubing with about 1000mL of space. This would compensate for a large deep breath in, but most of that would be stuck in anatomical dead space anyway.
I have the exact same model. Read instruction book several times front to back and not once did it say how to put medication in cup, lol, so came here. First thing, in book for this model it says to breathe in deeply..so deep that you can't breathe in anymore and hold your breath!!!!!!!! You said complete opposite. I respect your opinion cause I can tell you are very good and professional, but don't understand why the company that actually made the nebulizer made the instruction book that stated specifically to inhale deeply until you can't breathe in anymore and to hold your breathe for a few seconds! In other words, according to book instructions, the way you inhaled at the beginning and held your breathe is the correct way
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have pneumonia due to Covid and my doctor prescribed me to do nebulizer treatments but it didn’t come with instructions.
Same situation and I don’t even know what type of medicine to use? I hope you are feeling better I am three weeks into it and can’t seem to break a fever. Best wishes to you
Did the MD not write a prescription? I would be interested to see what they ordered... I'm guess inhaled corticosteroids which I would definitely recommend.
Valerie Summers: it’s a year after the fact, and I’m just getting over the same thing myself, although I still need to nebulize. I hope you and all your family and friends are well. I’m answering this in case there’s some poor soul out there who comes across this and is desperately seeking help. Probably the most important thing if you’ve got Covid and pneumonia from it, is to know that you want to stop cytokine storms. Before you do anything else other than possibly nebulize a little bit of saline, you need to take some vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc. The vitamin C should be either a liposomal or a time release formula. Take that first and early on in this whole process. Early in the pandemic, a lot of people died because although the lungs were able to be treated and people thought they were making a comeback, but then the patients’ bodies started to do the cleanup operation to clean up after the infection, it mounted an immune response called a cytokine storm, which exacerbated the pneumonia and killed them. So you start with the vitamins at all costs. I can’t over stress that enough. And that’s what my doctor stressed for me as well. Then comes the nebulized formula. So my doctor prescribed .1% hydrogen peroxide in normal saline. I found that it was immensely helpful. The saline alone is enough to loosen up some of that concrete congestion in the lungs. But that .1% peroxide just seems to give it a little boost. Within a few minutes, I started to be able to move some of that pneumonia and breathe more easily. My 80-year-old aunt who has asthma went to see her cardiologist, and when he heard the pneumonia on her lungs, he tried to admit her to the hospital. But the hospital was too full. The staff at emerge gave her a steroid prescription and sent her home. Mom thought she was going to have to watch her aunt die. So she brought her home so the Parel sold have care and not have to be by herself when she died. My aunt was really weak, and hadn’t been able to sleep because she wasn’t able to breathe, so I waited till they got back home from the hospital, and then called Mom and my aunt up, and explain to her how to go prone on the bed and had mom firmly thump her back between her shoulder blades, and it had a near immediate effect. My aunt said that she was very comfortable in that position and finally able to breathe well, and agreed to stay put for a bit so that we could prepare a solution for her to nebulize. Mom did the preparation for the solution; she was able to do this with just instructions over the phone. Mom didn’t have a nebulizer, but I explained to her how to set up the ultrasonic essential oil diffuser that she had. She helped my aunt inhale the solution, and I recommended that our aunt go up and lie down on her belly again, to rest, and just have Mom thump her back again if she needed it. Two hours later, I called my mother to see how her aunt was doing, and they were out running errands. Mom was trying to catch up with her aunt. The difference was pretty much immediate. My aunt was able to keep going just fine with the nebulizing and the steroids until she could see an actual pulmonary specialist, who would see to her lungs. Sometimes all you need is to survive long enough to see a doctor when you can’t get admitted to the hospital. She said she felt the best she had in a very long time. Apparently she had pneumonia for a while, end it had been pretty bad. Because of Covid, and her age, people were trying to respectfully keep a distance so as not to make her sick, so we didn’t realize how ill she has become. But for her appointment with the cardiologist, she may have died. That’s just one example, but it was desperate. My mother was absolutely certain that she was gonna have to watch her favourite aunt die and not be able to do a blessed thing about it. It wasn’t what her doctor wanted for her. He wanted her in the hospital to be treated. But we were desperate. We did what we had to because help was most certainly not on the way, and there was no chance that my aunt could’ve lived another day or two. It was really that bad. Everyone else we’ve helped with that solution in that situation, has pulled through just fine, With the help and expertise of the doctor when they could finally see one. I hope and pray the same is true for you. ❤️

Unfortunately, Medicare for all isn't going to improve the quality of healthcare or of your providers.
I have a new nebulizer I went on line but they went so fast i couldn't keep up LoL
Thank you! I just started with a nebulizer at home and you instructions were excellent. I deeply appreciated the help you gave me. You deserve an award.

Thank you for this! I have to use one today and didn't know how. ❤ So helpful!
Amazing briefing on neutralizers!!
Thank you. Very clear information. Helped me for my first use of it.
Thank you!
Thank you very much! I learned a lot. My own doctors office did not tell me how to use this in such detail... I am grateful you made this video.

@maryyam Thank you for commenting! Building confidence for students entering the field is one of the main goals of this channel.
Excellent video. Everything is explained and demonstrated.

Any other solucion u can used just to
Keep your lungs healthy?
I neb with saline and hydr perox ode.
@Pat Luxor yes, or you can make your own.
@Pat Luxor You can use distilled water with the food grade hydrogen peroxide.
What? Nurses can't give neb treatments? I keep finding more and more things medics can do that nurses can't, yet you guys are paid 3x more than we are. Lol.

Thank you so much for this information! I've been doing to so wrong. I literally would get light headed from doing it wrong.
Is a need to add water
@edwincuarteron9862 why would you add water to medicine lol
You would add saline to the med to reach a total volume of 3mL. This will help the nebulizer work properly.
I love his enthusiasm. 👍
This is such a helpful video. I only needed an explanation of the left over medicine and why it's not being used but I ended up watching the whole video and learned a lot.

How important to clean every time
Thank you Sir. I was missing the green cup and so I was doing it wrong. Then I looked around and I saw it. Now it works properly.
Thank you once again

Very informative and important information!
Thanks so much for your illustrations. 🎉
Thanks for your excellent teaching, my doctor doesn’t have time. You’ve gotten me over couple of really rough spots.
They get paid top dollar and don’t have time.😢
Really, really helpful video on how to use a nebulizer. Thanks Jimmy for putting this together. -The Nebulizer Team @ Blue Echo Care.
Wow! How do you get on a 'nebulizer team'?! That sounds awesome!
Great instructions, you explained everything in such detail, thank you!
Fantastic demonstration, as I will look for all of your videos now, so thanks. :)
Well explained. I am a Filipino but i understand it so clearly. Keep safe, Bro.

Very useful, my company is a provider of such mesh nebulizer ,I will check with my team and improve our product.
Great instructions!!! Would you place add -how to clean it to your next video. Thanks again.
Thank u very much for providing such a informative video and I really learn a lot that I did not know earlier thank u for ur work Sir
Do you add the saline with a butyryl solution? I’m kind of confused on that. Could you give me a better understanding please
I think he said he uses the saline to prime the nebulizer for its first use. He called it a dry neb. He puts the saline in and then dumps it out before adding the medication.
Agreed with @bicklehoff794.
If the medication comes in a concentrated dose of 0.5mL, you'll need to add saline to total 3mL to allow the neb to run properly.
Thank you . Finally understand about my treatments. Learned alot
This video was great. No one instructed me on how to use this thing. You're explanation amd reasoning was superb. You're a G! 😊 Thanks!

I am glad I watch all the way through your video!! 😊
I just used mine. I did it correctly with the video. I thank God for RUclips.😅

You are amazing, thank you!
Wow! Thanks
Great tutorial. Great guy.
Thank you
Very informative information. I found out i was doing some things all wrong.
Yes use one to the lungs💯🙏
I hope you are going to talk about nebulizer for nose treatment issues
Thank you I had forgot how to use it
Great information. Thank you!

I usually see the entire nebulizer replaced because they are fairly inexpensive. Cleaning with a 50:50 vinegar / water mixture is good once per week.

I was looking for how to use the hypertonic saline. I have COPD so I'm gonna check out your other vids
Thanks for stopping by..
Helping this guy prepare for finals and then on to clinicals. Thanks for all these videos my friend 🤟🏻
Any time!
I have the exact same model. Read instruction book several times front to back and not once did it say how to put medication in cup, lol, so came
here.
First thing, in book for this model it says to breathe in deeply..so deep that you can't breathe in anymore and hold your breath!!!!!!!! You said complete opposite.

Your video was the most helpful of all the ones I checked
Nice bass in the photo at the end!
I’m going to try using the cpap nasal pillow and strap for sinus treatment.🤔😀
Great info..just got one....txs
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have pneumonia due to Covid and my doctor prescribed me to do nebulizer treatments but it didn’t come with instructions.
Whats the treatment schedule like? Father has the same but I'm going to call a physician tomorrow
Same situation and I don’t even know what type of medicine to use? I hope you are feeling better I am three weeks into it and can’t seem to break a fever. Best wishes to you

The staff at emerge gave her a steroid prescription and sent her home. Mom thought she was going to have to watch her aunt die. So she brought her home so the Parel sold have care and not have to be by herself when she died.
My aunt was really weak, and hadn’t been able to sleep because she wasn’t able to breathe, so I waited till they got back home from the hospital, and then called Mom and my aunt up, and explain to her how to go prone on the bed and had mom firmly thump her back between her shoulder blades, and it had a near immediate effect. My aunt said that she was very comfortable in that position and finally able to breathe well, and agreed to stay put for a bit so that we could prepare a solution for her to nebulize.
Mom did the preparation for the solution; she was able to do this with just instructions over the phone.
Mom didn’t have a nebulizer, but I explained to her how to set up the ultrasonic essential oil diffuser that she had. She helped my aunt inhale the solution, and I recommended that our aunt go up and lie down on her belly again, to rest, and just have Mom thump her back again if she needed it.
Two hours later, I called my mother to see how her aunt was doing, and they were out running errands. Mom was trying to catch up with her aunt. The difference was pretty much immediate. My aunt was able to keep going just fine with the nebulizing and the steroids until she could see an actual pulmonary specialist, who would see to her lungs. Sometimes all you need is to survive long enough to see a doctor when you can’t get admitted to the hospital. She said she felt the best she had in a very long time. Apparently she had pneumonia for a while, end it had been pretty bad. Because of Covid, and her age, people were trying to respectfully keep a distance so as not to make her sick, so we didn’t realize how ill she has become. But for her appointment with the cardiologist, she may have died.
That’s just one example, but it was desperate. My mother was absolutely certain that she was gonna have to watch her favourite aunt die and not be able to do a blessed thing about it. It wasn’t what her doctor wanted for her. He wanted her in the hospital to be treated. But we were desperate. We did what we had to because help was most certainly not on the way, and there was no chance that my aunt could’ve lived another day or two. It was really that bad.
Everyone else we’ve helped with that solution in that situation, has pulled through just fine, With the help and expertise of the doctor when they could finally see one. I hope and pray the same is true for you. ❤️
what would be a suitable medicine for home use, to try remedy a lingering lung infection? any kind of saline?
