Nebulizing inhalation combined with non-invasive ventilation therapy in COPD patients with respiratory failure and nursing．

Aerosol administration during noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a common clinical drug administration method, but the drug administration efficiency of different drug delivery devices is different.

Nasal aerosol inhalation is increasingly used in intensive care units (ICUs). In pediatric wards in the United States, 75% of patients receive nasal aerosol inhalation therapy, while the rest use traditional nebulization methods.

Nebulizer inhalation can humidify the respiratory tract, reduce inflammation, relieve cough and eliminate phlegm. It can also promote the absorption and excretion of inflammatory secretions. It has few side effects, shortens the course of the disease and has better therapeutic effects.

The study about the factors that affect the effect of nebulized inhalation by HFNC, among which VMN is more suitable for atomization inhalation therapy combined with HFNC.

Study on atomizing suction and atomizing particle size settling position，according to professional research data, the particle size of drug administration atomization into the lung is preferably 2-5 μm.

Here are some useful nebulizer medication guides which about chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchiectasis, and COPD.

Active smoking or passive exposure to second-hand smoke is one of the main risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
