Thanks for all of the advice! My vest is the old, really heavy one, so I won't be able to take that. I do have an acapella that will be coming with me. My compressor is a Pari Dura Neb 3000 Portable system (like 7 years old). How will I know if it will work there? I am trying to get a Pari Trek S, and my dr office should be calling it in for me on Monday. Will that work? Do you wear a face mask on the plane? And I'm traveling to Rome for 8 nights.

1. You might want to get a new compessor...or get the PSI tested.... usually those things don't work very well after 3 years. You may be getting very underdosed with the meds you neb... a PARI ProNeb Ultra II will cost you $80 out of pocket..... and insurance should cut you a little bit of a break there with the price. You really should look into getting a new compressor if not for this trip, for your use when you get home!
2. The Trek does not work with Pulmozyme or TOBI.... the compressor can't make the particles small enough. Be careful with the phillosophy of "oh it's better than nothing." Well, actually, it is the same as nothing. Molecules are so big that it renders the med ineffective in your lungs. Go with Jaime's advice and get an eFlow.
3. I'd be more worried about what you touch in the airplane than the air (or really how dry the air is versus viruses in the air). Google some studies about bacteria that are present on airplane seat arm rests and bathrooms... it's enough to make you throw up. So purel! purel! purel!
4. I got my inguinal hernia from carrying around my 50 lb. old school vest around Europe in the late 90s <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I should have been a bit more accepting of help but I was strong enough (so I thought) to lug it around. Good news is my lungs stayed very healthy because of it... and it have a cool surgery scare to remember my stubbornness by.
Have a wonderful trip. Rome is gorgeous.

Oh no! Really sad to see that Pulmozyme won't work with that machine. Nice that my dr office did not tell me that. I was looking online at an eflow and it kinda looked like a pain to assemble and use. Is it easier than it looks? Do you use eflow at home daily, or just travel? I have a different compressor for everyday use, but actually it's even older than my travel one.

You spend so much time every day doing nebs - it's so important to make sure what you're using is effective!!!! Get a new compressor.
The eFLow is the same as a traditional neb, except it has a metal head. The metal head needs to be rinsed after use and placed in alcohol in between uses. boiled once a week. plastic parts are cleaned exactly the same way your plastic nebs are cleaned.
The extra 1-2 minutes you spend caring for the metal head is more than saved with dramatically decreased treatment times. Plus it's battery operated.
i'm lazy so i don't want to re-type everything, which is why i have my blog. i'll point you over there.
it's a lot of info that's posted in reverse chronological order so take a few minutes to sort through some things. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://noexcusesnoexcuses.blogspot.com/search/label/eFlow
