What is the oxygen consumption of a nebuliser?

You may also wonder, "Does a nebulizer make any oxygen?"

A nebulizer device is a portable medical device that delivers medication to the lungs and respiratory tract. It creates mist. Oxygen or compressed air or ultrasonic energy make aerosol drops from the medication. The user inhales the droplets into his lungs.

The same goes for a nebuliser. How often should it be used? You may be told by your doctor to use your nebuliser regularly or when you feel short of breath or wheezy. Between doses, allow 3-6 hours. Always follow your doctor's instructions The usual starting dose is 2.5 mg, which can be increased to up to 4 times daily.

It is also important to determine the rate at which air should flow to allow effective Nebulization.

Nebuliser systems Gas flow rates of at minimum 6 L/min are required in order to produce enough particles from the solution in 5-10 min.
