Question

Explain how a pneumatic nebulizer works. If you wished to nebulize sea-water with a concentric nebulizer, what is the reasonable pre-treatment step? Bearing in mind that sea-water contains 3.5% NaCl.

Answer 1

Nebulizers are connected by tubing to a compressor ,that causes compressed air or oxygen to flow at high velocity through a liquid medicine to turn into an aerosol which is then inhaled by the patient.

sodium chloride can reduce some type of bacteria in certain body secreations such as saliva.NaCl solution is used to produce mucus from the mouth to help to improve the lung function in people with cystic fibrosis or to collect mycus for medical testing.this medication also can be used to dilute other medications inhaled through nevulizer.
