I have been trying to make sure my son is getting his treatments exactly how they are meant to be given. For example, making sure the cups are sterilized every night; rinsed out, and dried after each treatment during the day..He was using the Pari LC, but his RT at the clinic mentioned the AeroEclipse Reusable Breath Actuated (R BAN) neb - ordered them for us - and we started using them this week.
We have the mouthpiece that came with the neb but he's 4 and getting him to hold it snug in his mouth for 3 different nebs...ha! We also have the Ped. Aerosol Dragon mask. I have been using this for his hypertonic saline - takes about 30 min. Then Pulmozyme using the mouthpiece - takes less than 10 min. Then onto the dreaded TOBI. Since it has been taking so long, I don't make him use the mouthpiece (even though I know it delivers the medicine better). Straight from the vile, TOBI measures 1 1/4 tsp. After 30 min of nebbing it, there is 1/2 tsp. We have been stopping after 30 min because RT said this neb is better.
Some of you guys on here are saying you can neb it in 20-25 min! Do you mean that after 20-25 min the liquid is completely gone?! I don't feel like my son is getting all the medicine because of the 1/2 tsp that is left in the chamber after 30 min.
