I am a new user of the eflow and have some questions. First off i just want to say i love my eflow!! Its amazing!
I used it for the first time with the colistin awhile back and stopped because it made me nervous.
After nebbing the colistin i got a strange "wet" feeling in my lungs. It felt like i aspirated fluid. It felt very strange and made me nervous so i have not done it again.
Is that a normal feeling? I dont remember feeling like that with a regular compressor and neb. This is new.
It might be due to the fact that the mist from the eflow is so fine. But i just wanted to ask you all if you experience the same thing.
Thanks

I actually get that feeling with my mobilaire and colistin but I interpreted it as feeling effective, Ididnt enjoy the feeling but then I am more productive afterward so I have actually been diluting my colistin out a little more than before thinking it was better. That being said perhaps the dilution needs to be done different for e-flow?

I do Colistin in my eflow but I do not get any weird feeling. Maybe it is breaking up the mucus for you and you are feeling more congested????

Sorry I can not be of more help!

Are you doing the same dose of colistin in the TRIO as you were with your other nebulizer? If so, that could be why. You're supposed to do half the dose in the with the TRIO because it is so effective at getting the medication into the lungs.

Well that could very well be it....they reconstituted the colistin for my trio. They sent it in premixed viles. I was assuming that i was suppose to use the whole vile but maybe not. Thanks for all the feedback. I will have to call the pharm and ask.
