Effective solutions for inhalation. What drugs are used for inhalation? Astringent and anti-inflammatory fees

Inhalation - ancient way treatment respiratory tract. The method of treatment is widely used both in hospitals and at home. The hot steam from the kettle and pan was replaced by ultrasonic and compressor devices. Nebulizers turn the medicine into fine aerosols that can penetrate into the deepest parts of the respiratory system. It is only necessary to choose the right remedy for treatment.

What solutions for inhalation are used for cough, runny nose and bronchitis? Are all devices suitable for their use? ? Let's look into these issues.

Inhalation methods for rhinitis are more effective than traditional nasal drops. Moisturizers are used to treat congestion or crusting in the nose. But you need to charge them in steam inhalers:

  • More often used pharmaceutical saline solution. At home, it is prepared from table salt- dissolve 1 tsp in 1 liter of water. salt.
  • Children at bedtime add to the solution for inhalation 3-5 drops or mint. They help to breathe freely throughout the night by moisturizing the nasal passages.
  • Alkaline solutions - or Narzan.

Pharmaceutical medicines for inhalation with a cold through a nebulizer

Before inhalation, consult your doctor about which drugs to use and whether a procedure is needed in this situation.

Folk remedies for a cold

For a runny nose, folk remedies are used:

  • In the absence of allergies, for inhalation from a cold, apply propolis tincture– 1 ml pharmacy drug diluted in 20 ml of saline. 3 ml of the prepared composition is placed into the nebulizer chamber with a syringe. Do 3 procedures daily.
  • Alcohol tincture of calendula diluted with saline in a ratio of 1:40. For the nebulizer use 3 ml of the prepared composition.

Important! Not recommended for use folk remedies in children and sensitive people - herbal preparations can cause an allergic reaction. Do not use homemade decoctions of flowers and herbs in the nebulizer. They clog the holes of the mesh membrane and can disable the device.

Solutions are used for coughing

In the treatment of cough caused by pharyngitis, laryngitis, compressor nebulizers with an aerosol dispersion of up to 5 microns are best suited. In the treatment of diseases bronchopulmonary system Mesh nebulizers are used. The fine aerosols produced by it penetrate into the most lower divisions- pulmonary alveoli. Mesh nebulizers are used for bronchitis, allergic conditions, pneumonia, bronchial asthma.

Mucolytic agents

Cough inhalation solutions are used to thin and remove sputum from the bronchi. The most commonly used drugs from the group of mucolytic drugs:

The pharmacy chain offers a large selection of mucolytic drugs. But you can not choose without a doctor's prescription.

Bronchodilators

With obstructive lung diseases or established bronchial asthma with asthma attacks, people will not do without an inhaler. To relieve seizures, the nebulizer is charged with drugs:

Berotek and Salbutamol approved for use in children from 4 years of age, and Berodual- from the age of 6.

Types of nebulizers

Pharmacies have a large selection of inhalation devices. Devices of this line split medicinal substances into fine suspension. The smallest particles of aerosols ranging in size from 5 to 8 microns (micrometers) penetrate into the most terminal sections of the respiratory organ - the pulmonary alveoli. The devices differ in size and principle of operation:

When inhaled, the medicine enters directly into the lesion. Due to the local effect, the risk of side effects is minimized.

Rules during the procedure

All models have functional features, but the inhalation rules are the same for all devices:

  • during the session, sit on a chair in a relaxed position;
  • it is not recommended to take the first breath deep so that there is no spasm;
  • a solution is poured into the container of the device, after which it is turned on with a button;
  • while you are taking the procedure, you can not talk;
  • procedures are done 1–1.5 hours after eating and physical activity;
  • in case of diseases of the trachea, bronchi and lungs, the patient breathes through the mouth through the mask;
  • after the end of the procedure, it is not recommended to talk, drink, eat and smoke for an hour. You should also talk less;
  • rest for 15 minutes after the session;
  • It is not recommended to leave the room earlier than half an hour after the procedure. The contrast of air temperature in the lungs and the incoming portion from the outside will provoke a cold.

Inhalations are beneficial if you follow the rules during the session.

INHALYATION RULES:

1. Inhalations should be taken no earlier than 1-1.5 hours after eating, and you should not be distracted by conversation. After inhalation for 1 hour, it is not recommended to talk, eat, go outside (in cool weather).

2. In diseases of the upper respiratory tract (nose, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx), inhalation and exhalation must be done through the nose using a mask. Breathe calmly, without tension.

3. In case of diseases of the middle respiratory tract (throat, larynx), inhalation and exhalation should be done through the mouth using a mask. Breathe normally

4. In case of diseases of the trachea, bronchi, lungs, it is recommended to inhale the aerosol through the mouth using a mouthpiece. Breathe deeply and evenly.

5. Most solutions for inhalation are prepared on the basis of saline 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) as a solvent and humectant. The parent drug is diluted with saline in certain proportions.

6. Store the prepared solution in the refrigerator for no more than a day. Be sure to warm up before use. room temperature

7. When prescribing several drugs at the same time, the sequence should be observed. First, a bronchodilator is inhaled, after 15-20 minutes - a means of thinning and removing sputum, then, after sputum is discharged, an antibiotic or anti-inflammatory agent

8. The course of treatment depends on the complexity of the disease and the drug used (from 5 to 10 days)

9. Although nebulizer therapy does not apply to thermal physiotherapy procedures, nevertheless, it is not recommended to carry out inhalation with elevated temperature body

10. It is forbidden to use in nebulizers oil preparations. Various oils are used to treat diseases only of the upper respiratory tract, for which exposure to coarse particles is sufficient, therefore, steam inhalers are used for inhalation with oils. The nebulizer produces fine particles. Using oil solutions, fine particles of oil enter the lungs, and this significantly increases the risk of developing so-called oil pneumonia. Same application essential oils in nebulizers increases the risk of allergies due to high concentration active substances in the lungs.

11. In most nebulizers, the use of self-prepared decoctions and herbal infusions is not allowed, since they have a suspension that is much larger than aerosol particles and the nebulizer cannot miss them, which in turn can lead to device failure. For the same reason, suspensions and syrups are not used in nebulizers (with the exception of special suspensions for inhalation). Although there are nebulizers that are able to work with decoctions of herbs.

12. Such medications like Eufillin, Papaverine, Diphenhydramine and the like, also cannot be used in nebulizers, since they do not have "application points" on the mucous membrane.

These devices are absolutely safe, since the fog they produce is not at all hot,

In addition, they are able to break drops medicinal substance into the smallest particles, easily penetrating into any parts of the respiratory tract.

Thanks to this, nebulizers can be used for any respiratory diseases, the main thing is to choose the right medicine.

Types of drugs for inhalation: classification

At various diseases Patients may be prescribed different drugs pharmacological groups, but mixing them together is not recommended.

For the medicines prescribed by the doctor to produce maximum effect, you need to know what to fill in the nebulizer first, second, etc.

Medicines must be administered in the following sequence, and between procedures it is necessary to maintain a break of at least 15 minutes.

Bronchodilators Medications of this group are used to expand the bronchi in case of their obstruction (narrowing), which is typical for bronchial asthma, obstructive bronchitis, laryngitis, etc. They are taken only as directed by a doctor, strictly observing dosing accuracy. These include:

  1. Atrovent
  2. Salgim
  3. Berodual
  4. Ventolin
  5. Salbutamol

  6. Chlorhexidine
  7. Furacilin
  8. Tonsilgon N

Corticosteroids are pronounced due to which they quickly stop all manifestations of the inflammatory process.

Therefore, they are often prescribed for adenoids, sinusitis and some other ailments.

Antiseptics and antibiotics that directly affect pathogenic microflora, are among the last to be introduced, when all obstacles to their entry into their destination have been removed. Antihistamines (Cromohexal, etc.). They block the binding of histamine (the main mediator of allergy) to the corresponding receptors. Thanks to them, a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing and other symptoms are eliminated. allergic reaction. But they are rarely prescribed for coughing (an indication for this is bronchial asthma of allergic origin). Immunomodulators (Derinat, Interferon). These funds. They increase the body's resistance, so they are advised to take from the first days of the development of SARS.

So, from bronchodilators, which are prescribed for dry not productive cough, typical for whooping cough, stenosis of the larynx and some other pathologies from the neonatal period, Atrovent or Ventolin can be used.

From the age of 4, the use of Salbutamol and Berotek is already allowed, while Berodual is taken from the age of 6.

Of the mucolytics indicated for wet cough, from birth, drugs based on ambroxol, for example, Ambrobene, Flavamed, can be used. Bronchipret is prescribed from 3 months. From 2 years old allowed application of ACC and Fluimucil.

Anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered to a child with caution, especially on plant-based as they can cause an allergic reaction.

If, however, there is a severe inflammatory process, the pediatrician may prescribe the corticosteroid Pulmicort, which is allowed from 6 months.

In this way

It is impossible to say unequivocally which solution is better for coughing. The only one that is suitable for absolutely everyone and at the same time highly safe is saline.

  • for teenagers and adults - 1:1.

The vasoconstrictor Naphthyzinum 0.05% will help get rid of nasal congestion. 5 ml of saline is taken per milliliter of the pharmaceutical preparation.

To combat rhinitis, you can use eucalyptus oil(14 drops are added to 200 g of saline).

Doctors often recommend supplementing therapy with antiviral agents, for example, Derinat or ordinary interferon, which can be used for inhalation even for infants. Derinat is poured into the nebulizer chamber in its pure form, and powdered interferon is diluted with the solvent attached to it.

With sinusitis

During the inflammatory process maxillary sinuses the above remedies for the common cold can be used, but the therapy will necessarily be supplemented with antibiotics, corticosteroids or other drugs prescribed by an otolaryngologist.

With angina

Inflammation in the throat, provoked by bacteria, is certainly treated with the use of antiseptics, and in severe cases, antibiotics. First choose:

  • Chlorophyllipt;
  • Miramistin;
  • Dioxidine (dissolved in a ratio of 1:4);
  • Furacilin (do not dilute);
  • Tonsilgon N.

Antibiotics are used only as prescribed by a doctor.

Saline inhalation: indications

Physiological or isotonic solution sodium chloride 0.9% is ideal for human body. It is purchased at a pharmacy or prepared independently (take a teaspoon of salt without a slide per liter of water). saline solution for inhalation is used for the purpose of:

  • moisturizing the mucous membranes, which helps to eliminate irritation in the throat;
  • thinning viscous sputum and facilitating its removal;
  • providing an anti-inflammatory effect.

All this makes the solution sea ​​salt or the usual cookbook is indispensable for:

  • laryngitis, tracheitis;
  • sinusitis, rhinitis;
  • rhinopharyngitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis;
  • bronchitis;
  • bronchial asthma, etc.

For one manipulation, 1 ml is poured into a baby, 2 ml for a baby up to 4 years old, a baby from 4 to 7 years old - 3 ml and 4 ml for an adult. The amount of liquid poured into the chamber of the device determines how many minutes the child breathes. Therefore, a couple of minutes is enough for babies, and preschoolers and schoolchildren will need from 4 to 10 minutes.

Soda solution for inhalation with a nebulizer: from what?

Baking soda is a natural mucolytic and antiseptic. It applies to:

  • chronic bronchitis;
  • rhinitis, sinusitis;
  • hoarseness of voice;
  • otitis;
  • laryngitis, tonsillitis, tonsillitis.

When used alkaline solutions for inhalation, a viscous secret is liquefied, moisturizing occurs and the pH of the mucosa changes. And, as you know, favorable for most pathogenic microorganisms is acidic environment, therefore, when alkalized, they lose the ability to grow and multiply normally.

Thus, baking soda or calcium bicarbonate is useful for both dry and productive coughs. And since this product has natural origin and is non-allergenic, it can be used for children of any age.

You can pour into the nebulizer chamber finished product buffer soda or made by yourself, especially since there are no difficulties in how to prepare it.

To do this, add a teaspoon of baking soda to a liter of saline, but for the procedure you need only 4 ml of the prepared liquid, which takes an average of 10-15 minutes. For babies, the proportions are the same, but use a smaller volume of the mixture, according to the age of the child.

With sinusitis, rhinitis or sore throat in ready solution add 1-2 drops of iodine. The duration of manipulation in this case should be 5-8 minutes.

Contraindications

It is impossible to conduct inhalation therapy sessions with any medication when:

  • elevated body temperature (more than 38 ° C);
  • vascular pathologies, in which their excessive fragility is noted;
  • pulmonary bleeding;
