This therapy delivers medication to the lungs through a fine mist.

Instructions to Patient
You will place a mouthpiece in between your teeth, seal your lips around it, and breath as instructed by the therapist.  DO NOT breathe through your nose or breathe fast.

Additional Information
The most common type of medication used is Albuterol. This medication relaxes the breathing tubes so that they become larger which makes breathing easier and coughing up secretions more effective.  Treatments last approximately 10 minutes.
