Topic: Nebulizer


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  Nebulizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medicine, a nebulizer is a device used to administer medication to people in forms of a liquid mist to the airways.
Nebulizers, for that reason, are usually reserved only for serious cases of respiratory disease, or severe attacks.
The inhaling apparatus, however, is sometimes replaced with a standard rubber face mask, similar to that use for inhaled anesthesia, for ease of use with young children or the elderly.

We reminded them of their earlier agreement with us, that regardless of the outcome of our experimental protocol, "neither the procedural result nor the protocol itself, would be broached with the volunteer's allopathic counsel."
