Treatment of bronchitis with nebulizer

Inhalation with bronchitis, laryngitis - steam inhalations, nebulizer

In the treatment of bronchitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheobronchitis, bronchial asthma, acute, chronic, obstructive bronchitis in adults and children in the composition of complex therapy is very effective to use various inhalations of drugs, special solutions, medicinal herbs.

It is especially convenient to carry out inhalations with bronchitis using an ultrasonic inhaler - a nebulizer, a compressor inhaler, which in pharmacy networks have a wide choice.

The peculiarity of their use is that not all of them can use oily and herbal solutions, but only purified special pharmacy medicinal solutions or mineral water.

So, there are 2 ways of carrying out inhalations:

• With the help of special devices - inhalers, nebulizers (ultrasonic type, compressor, combined)
• Steam inhalations - with the help of a container and hot medicinal solution or with a kettle with a paper funnel, put on a teapot spout.

The main task of inhalation therapy in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system:

• liquefaction of the larynx, pharynx, nose
• airway mucosa
• when using drugs - bronchodilator effect, expectorant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, decongestant
• improvement of blood supply and microcirculation of the mucosa - this helps in the early regeneration of tissues

Important! In the presence of inflammatory processes of purulent nature - angina, sinusitis, sinusitis, apply hot steam Inhalation is not possible, because in purulent processes, warming promotes faster growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Steam inhalations can be used only with prolonged runny nose, pharyngitis (without purulent foci), laryngitis.

Steam inhalations are the oldest and most popular form of inhalation, but it should be used only on recommendations doctor, because in all cases the positive effect of their use will exceed the adverse consequences, because the:

• With inflammation of the respiratory tract, the vessels are dilated, that is, the outflow of blood is slowed, and the influx is increased, which is manifested by nasal congestion, swelling of the larynx, pharynx. Hot steam with inhalation moisturizes and warms the mucous membrane, which of course contributes to the liquefaction of mucus and its better separation, but, as a rule, not for long. As after heating, the vessels expand, which increases the swelling, loosening the mucosa.
• The heating and looseness of the inflamed tissues and mucous membrane in turn can provoke the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria and their penetration into the deeper parts of the respiratory system.

There are some rules - common for any inhalation, these are:

• Begin inhalation only after half an hour after physical exertion.

How and when to do inhalation with bronchitis

Poor environmental conditions in large cities and industrial centers, air pollution with exhaust fumes, passive smoking, allergic reactions - all this led to an increase in bronchopulmonary diseases in children and adults.

Constant irritation and inflammation of the bronchial mucosa leads to the development of chronic or obstructive bronchitis, which provokes attacks of a severely excruciating cough. Inhalation with bronchitis is the most effective and safe way to get rid of cough and reduce inflammation in the bronchi.

Treatment of bronchitis with inhalation

Inhalation is one of the most effective methods of treatment of acute, chronic and obstructive bronchitis. The therapeutic effect of inhalation is provided by direct exposure to the inflammatory focus - the mucous membrane of the bronchi, biologically active or medicinal substances.

They have the following curative effects:

1. Anti-inflammatory
2. Antiseptic
3. Mucolytic
4. Broncholic impact.

Inhalation with bronchitis reduces the viscosity of phlegm, rupturing the bonds between molecules and facilitates its excretion from the bronchi, except Moreover, the active substances fall into the interior of the mucous membrane, reducing the inflammatory process and affecting the nerve endings bronchi. This helps to remove the edema and spasm of the bronchial tree, expand the airways, increase the flow of oxygen into the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide from the lungs.

Types of inhalation

There are several main types of medical inhalations:

1. Steam - the therapeutic effect of the vapor, which transfers therapeutic substances from solutions, by inhalation of hot air, inside the bronchi. They reduce irritation of the mucosa, increase blood circulation in the bronchi, improve metabolism, help restore the integrity of the mucosa and sputum discharge. For steam inhalations it is better to use volatile substances - essential oils or decoctions of medicinal plants.
2. Teplyvladnye - the most widespread form of inhalation, here the effect on the mucosa is simultaneously high temperature and steam. They eliminate dryness and irritation of the mucous membrane, dilute and contribute to the sputum, and also increase blood circulation and metabolism in the bronchi. They use solutions of medicinal herbs, mineral salts, antibiotics, mucolytics, hormones, sulfonamides and other medicines.
3. Wet - allow you to introduce a suspension of aerosols inside the bronchi. They are used when it is impossible to use more effective steam and heat-and-moisture inhalations. With their help, bronchioles are injected with solutions of bronchodilators, painkillers, hormones, enzymes or antibiotics.
4. Oily - used less often - they are used to create a protective film on the mucosa, preventing harmful effects of chemical and mechanical stimuli or in preventive purposes.

The use of inhalations in a child

Inhalations are widely used in the treatment of chronic and obstructive bronchitis in children of the first years life, but it is necessary to conduct such procedures only after consultation with the attending physician and with a large caution. The best choice for such treatment in children, pediatricians consider the use of a nebulizer.

Rules of inhalation in children:

1. With acute and obstructive bronchitis, the drug must be inhaled through the mouth, and with diseases of the nose and sinuses - through the nose.
2. Bring inhalation is recommended 1-2 hours after meals, and after the procedure, within an hour not allow the child to talk, drink and eat.

4. Inhalations can not be done with an increase in body temperature above 3, degrees, severe general condition of the child or purulent processes in the lungs and bronchi.

Solutions for inhalation

For inhalation use decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs, antibiotics, mucolytics, aromatic oils and other substances with therapeutic effects.

1. Anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics - are used when using a nebulizer:

• 4% gentamicin - used for chronic bronchitis, for 1 procedure use 2 ml of gentamicin, dissolved in 3 ml of 9% saline.
• ,% dioxidin - a broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory drug - 5 ml of substance per 1 exposure
• interferon - an antiviral drug that increases immunity - 1 ampoule of dry powder is diluted in 5 ml of 9% saline.
• fluimucil - an antibiotic with a wide spectrum of action - 1 bottle of powder is required for 1 inhalation, dissolved in 5 ml of saline.

1. Mucolytics - drugs that dilute sputum and help her expectoration. Applied with dry painful cough, contraindicated with a damp cough and expectoration of sputum:

• lazolvan - the powder is mixed with saline solution in the ratio for 1 inhalation 2-3 ml is needed.
• atrovent - is used only for chronic obstructive bronchitis, is issued in vials of 20 ml, for 1 inhalation 2-3 ml is used.

Any of these remedies should only be used for the doctor's prescription and for strict indications.

Inhalation with nebulizer

Inhalation with bronchitis is most conveniently performed with a nebulizer. It allows you to quickly and easily turn the liquid into an aerosol that easily penetrates the patient's airways.

Types of nebulizers:

1. Ultrasound - well suited to affect the nasopharynx, trachea and bronchi.
2. Compression - will ensure the penetration of the drug into the bronchi and alveoli.
3. Electron-mesh is the most powerful nebulizer, it allows you to reach the lowest of the lungs and is particularly recommended for use in the treatment of children, as it works at any angle tilt.

How to cure bronchitis with antibiotics: a list of the best drugs

Bronchitis is an inflammatory process that develops in the bronchi. There may be several types, each of which has a distinctive symptomatology and specific treatment that the doctor should appoint. Remember that self-medication of such a serious disease as bronchitis, at home is just dangerous!

Types and symptoms

The considered inflammatory process can proceed in the following forms:

• purulent- The sputum, allocated at a cough, contains in itself an admixture of pus; For more information on how to treat purulent bronchitis in adults, read the article.
• purulent-serous- characterized by the release of specific sputum, differing in gray and the presence of "fibers" / inclusions of pus;
• fibrinous- phlegm in the patient is very viscous and dense, poorly separated, which provokes a narrowing of the lumen of the bronchus and, as a consequence, attacks of bronchospasm;
• hemorrhagic- The inflammatory process affects the blood vessels, thinens their walls and the blood gets into the sputum;
• catarrhal- the most common form of bronchitis, characterized by the accumulation of a large amount of mucus in the upper parts of the bronchi.

How is treatment with modern means of chronic obstructive bronchitis indicated in the article.

As the treatment of chronic bronchitis with antibiotics is worth reading for information in this article.

Whether it is possible to breathe over a potato at a bronchitis it is specified in clause here: http://prolor.ru/g/lechenie/stoit-dyshat-nad-kartoshkoj-pri-prostude-kashle.html

This disease can have a different course:

• acute bronchitis- always begins suddenly, accompanied by pain in the chest (even with deep breathing), paroxysmal coughing and fever;
• Chronical bronchitis- is a consequence of an untreated acute form, has all of the above main symptoms bronchitis, but in a less pronounced form, and hyperthermia (fever) can and does absent.

When examining the patient and carrying out the diagnosis, the doctor necessarily differentiates the bronchitis according to the functional sign:

• non-obstructive- narrowing of bronchi, sudden bronchospasm and stifling is not observed;
• obstructive- due to a large amount of viscous sputum or because of the anatomical features of the patient's body, there is a significant narrowing of the bronchial lumen. In this case, the patient complains of shortness of breath, attacks of suffocation, accompanied by a strained dry cough. And here's how to treat obstructive bronchitis in children, you can find out by reading this article.

Antibiotics for bronchitis

Only antibiotics contribute to the cure of bronchitis, the remaining funds only facilitate the patient's condition

Many, who noted the first symptoms of the disease in question, begin treatment of bronchitis propolis, soda, garlic and other folk remedies and usual tablets from a cough - it's in the bud wrong!Only antibacterial drugs (antibiotics) can relieve directly from inflammation and pathogenic microorganisms(bronchitis has an infectious etiology), and all other methods of treatment and remedies will only alleviate the condition of the patient. This does not mean that you need to immediately and unconditionally go through a course of antibiotic therapy - consultation a doctor will still be needed, but the antibiotic used most often for children with bronchitis is indicated in the article.

Important: with acute bronchitis antibiotics are not prescribed at all - this form of inflammation has viral etiology, and the drugs in question are absolutely useless in the fight for viruses.

Antibiotics can be prescribed in tablets and injections, but most often the tablet form is used medicines - it allows you to go through the entire course of treatment on an outpatient basis, without the need to find hospital. Doctors may prescribe injections with antibacterial drugs in the following cases:

• the body temperature reaches the highest boundaries and keeps at this level for more than a day;
• there is pus in the phlegm;
• bronchospasm and severe dyspnea are observed.

In addition, antibiotics can also be used in inhalations with a nebulizer - this is generally considered to be the most effective method of treatment: the drug falls directly on the walls of the bronchi, affected by the inflammatory process and acts localized.

Antibiotics of the old generation

Augmentin - one of the popular means of the old generation

Most often in the treatment of bronchitis of different forms and types of doctors appointed penicillins - drugs of the old generation, but this did not become less effective. Recommended preparations:

• Augmentin;
• Panklav;
• Amoxiclav.

R

Recommended dosage: 625 mg per treatment. Such receptions per day should be 3 (every 8 hours).Importantly: penicillins give a very good effect, but more often the resistance of pathogenic bacteria that provoked bronchitis to these drugs is revealed.Therefore, the patient is prescribed a medicine, followed by monitoring the dynamics of the disease for 3 days) and in the absence of positive "shifts" the antibiotic is replaced by another, more effective.

Macrolides

If the patient has an individual intolerance and / or hypersensitivity to antibiotics of the penicillin series, macrolides are assigned to him. To such it is possible to carry:

• Clarithromycin;
• Erythromycin.

They are produced most often in tablet form, so the dosage is calculated as follows: 1 tablet per reception, use should be done every 6-8 hours.

Modern antibiotics

In obstructive bronchitis, antibiotics of a new generation are appointed - cephalosporins, which are injected into the body only by injection - intramuscularly or intravenously (in especially severe cases). These include:

• Levofloxacin;
• Ceftriaxone;
• Ciprofloxacin;
• Cefuroxime.

Please note: the exact dosage should be prescribed by the attending physician - it will depend on the severity of the course of the disease, the general condition of the patient, the "neglect" of the inflammatory process.

Fluoroquinolones

If a patient has previously been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, then at the first signs of his exacerbation take fluoroquinolones - broad-spectrum antibiotics, identical to cephalosporins, but more soft / gentle. The most commonly prescribed are:

• Moxifloxacin;
• Lefofloxacin;
• Ciprofloxacin.

It is recommended to treat with a short seven-day course, injecting any of the above medications intramuscularly twice a day.What amount of the drug is needed for one injection, only a doctor can determine - in this case, it is unreasonable to make a decision independently.

The chronic form of bronchitis is always and certainly treated with antibiotics - they will help "drive" the inflammatory process into the stage of long-term remission.

Antibiotics and nebulizer

Inhalation nebulizer is especially effective in bronchitis

To conduct inhalations with a nebulizer, antibiotics can also be used - the effect will be rendered almost immediately, because in this case the drug will act directed / localized and immediately after it hits the organism.Most often for this type of treatment is appointed Fluimucil - a drug that in its composition contains both antibacterial agent, and special for liquefaction of sputum.Produced antibiotic in the form of a powder - you need to take one package and dissolve in a small amount of sodium chloride (maximum 5 ml), and the resulting liquid is divided into two inhalations per day.

Inhalation Fluimutsilom most effective in purulent bronchitis, but can be prescribed for other types of inflammatory disease.

Indication / contraindications

Antibiotics are quite powerful medications that have categorical indications and contraindications.You can not thinklessly take antibacterial drugs - in most cases they are absolutely useless, but their negative effect on the work of the intestines, liver and kidneys can already have(the so-called side effects). For those who want to know in more detail how many days to drink antibiotics for bronchitis, you can learn from the article. Therefore, one should know clear indications for the appointment / use of antibiotics for the treatment of various forms / types of bronchitis:

• borderline high body temperature, which can not be reduced by usual antipyretic;
• purulent sputum content;
• developing bronchospasm;
• previously diagnosed chronic bronchitis.

It is strictly forbidden to prescribe to doctors or take antibiotics on their own:

• diseases of urinary system of severe course - renal failure / nephropathy;
• violations of the functionality of the liver - selectively, for example, with certain forms of hepatitis;

What drugs can be used for inhalations by a nebulizer, and which are strictly forbidden

Preparations for nebulizer use different - it all depends on which area of ​​the respiratory tract requires treatment and how much the disease passes.

Preparations for bronchial dilatation. These include:

• Berotek. The active substance Beroteka Fenoterol helps to treat bronchitis and bronchial asthma during an exacerbation. Fenoterol for a maximum therapeutic effect is combined with Berodual.
• Steri-Neb SalamolorGen-salbutamolwith the active substance Salbutamol. Like Berotek, he treats bronchial diseases.
• M-cholinolytics, a representativeIpratropium bromide, in the pharmacy is presented under the nameAtrovent. He treats chronic bronchitis. Despite the fact that its effectiveness is lower than Beroteka and Salbutamol, Atrovent is popular due to the safety of the application.
• Magnesium sulfateon efficiency is inferior to the above listed drugs, but it is distinguished by a low price.

Preparations for liquefaction of sputum. They include:

• Lazolvan- this drug effectively fights against bronchial diseases, which are accompanied by sputum, therefore it is used for inflammation of the lungs, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis. If ARVI is accompanied by a sore throat and dry cough, then recommend Lazolvan.
• Fluimucilwith the active substance acetylcysteine. The active substance affects the components of the viscous secret, destroying them, which allows its rapid separation. If the sputum is purulent, then the drug will effectively eliminate it.
• A special place is occupied byinhalation with mineral water nebulizer. For this purpose, the mineral waters "Borjomi "Narzan" or any other slightly alkaline water are suitable. Inhalations with mineral water nebulizer are good for mild forms of bronchial and cold disease. Their therapeutic effect is due to the moistening of the mucous membrane, starting from the oropharynx and ending with the bronchi, which allows to dilute the viscous sputum and accelerate its release.

Aantibiotics. These include:

• FluimucilIs an antibiotic for angina with a combined composition. Acetylcysteine ​​and thiamphenicol in the composition help this drug effectively fight bacteria that provoke respiratory diseases. Fluimucil is recommended for combating diseases of a bacterial nature through nebulizer inhalations - treatment of tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis. It can also be used as a prophylactic for postoperative pneumonia.
• Gentamicin 4%- this drug is presented in injection ampoules of 2 ml. Since it actively fights many pathogenic bacteria, it can also be used for inhalations. Gentamicin is recommended for the treatment of bronchitis at the stage of exacerbation, when the inflammatory process accompanies purulent discharge in the form of sputum, can also be used for diabetics.
• Dioxydin,% solutiona tool that has disinfectant properties, which allows its use to combat a wide range of pathogens. It is recommended for diseases of the bronchi accompanied by purulent processes - with bronchiectasis and abscesses. Dioxydin in ampoules and other form of release was recognized as a very effective drug in the treatment inflammatory processes of different localization, including tonsillitis, sinusitis and the use of dioxin at otitis. For about 30 years, Russian hospitals have been using this drug.
• FuracilinIt is known to us as a disinfectant. It is actively used not only for inhalations, but also for washing the nose with sinusitis. As a rule, it is used at the initial stage of catarrhal diseases, so that the inflammatory process does not descend from the upper respiratory tract deep into the bronchi.

Anti-inflammatory drugs:

• Glucocorticosteroids, a representativePulmicort. Effective fights against bronchial asthma.
• Phytomedication. For example,Rotokan- a drug with a composition of medicinal plants (chamomile, yarrow, calendula), effectively fights inflammatory processes. They are treated with "upper" bronchi.

Preparation of preparations for a nebulizer requires knowledge of certain rules:

• To prepare the solutions, sodium chloride is used with the concentration,%. The very process of preparation requires sterility. Water from the water pipe, even if boiled, does not fit, and the dishes in which the solution will be prepared should be disinfected, boiling water.
• The shelf life of the solution - no more than a day, and before use, the drug solution is warmed to room temperature in a water bath.

As preparations for the nebulizer are not used:

• Solutions containing oils, as they slowly dissolve and can cover the lungs with an "oily film which will contribute to the development of pneumonia.
• Decoctions and home-made tinctures.
• Medicines that do not have a therapeutic effect on the mucous membrane - euphyllin, papaverine, dimedrol and others.

What drugs do inhalations nebulizer with angina

• Chlorophyllipt- infusion based on eucalyptus leaves. Successfully fights against staphylococci, bacteria, "provoking" the occurrence of sore throat.

Is it possible to do inhalation at a temperature

As a rule, angina, and other diseases of the respiratory tract, accompanies the temperature.

There arises a logical question - what effect do inhalations have at the temperature and what do they bring - harm or benefit?

The specialists answer: inhalations at a temperature are not recommended, because the body temperature of a person is already increased, and in case of heating, the rise in body temperature will continue.

A rise in temperature signals that the body can not cope with the infection, so treatment should be aimed at removing heat. A steam inhalation can be done if the body temperature drops to 3, C.

Another thing is the use of a nebulizer at a temperature. The main advantage of inhalation by a nebulizer at a temperature is that the formed steam is not It helps to overheat the body and does not lead to an increase in body temperature, but effectively affects organism.

If the body temperature has risen above 3, C, you can do inhalations with a nebulizer, but only after consulting the attending physician to avoid consequences.
