Anyone do this?

Hi... Just curious if anyone does their nebs hooked up to their O2? What I mean is, like in the hospital, they sometimes hook the hose to the liters of O2 so the O2 pressure is pushing the med into the lungs. Well, I'm curious if anyone does this with their home O2 or been told they can use it instead of a compressor? I'm just curious cause I've been told the O2 can help diffuse and push the meds deeper into the lungs than just an air line. So, if this is the case in the hospital, is it the case at home as well and is it ok to use for this purpose? Does anyone do this?

Thanks,

My son doesn't do this at home, (we don't have O2 at this point) but he has asthma. It used to be that when he had an "attack", we would do some extra albuterol nebs. Well, it never failed that we would end up having to go to the ER to have them do it with the O2. It just doesn't open him up without the O2. It's gotten to the point that we don't even do them at home before going to the ER anymore. He figures if they are gonna make him do 3 treatments there, he's not gonna do 2 or 3 at home before he goes. I can't blame him.

Anyway, all of that was to tell you that in my opinion, and for my son, it seems that nebbing with the O2 works much better. I'm interested to hear from others to see if they do this at home. In the future, it may be something for my son to consider.

Sonia,

Not sure who told you that but that isn't true. RT's don't use air in the hospital for a couple reasons. One reason is if your on O2 already and they don't want to take you off to give a treatment. Antoher one would be that they are too lazy to find a air regulator.
