Zachary’s Nebulizer Treatment
April 14th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Zachary was diagnosed with croup and then RSV… It’s been a fun, stressful time, but he seems to be getting better. He should only need this treatment for 2 weeks. He doesn’t like the mask, but calms down and smiles when we sing Itsy Bitsy Spider to him.
What is a nebulizer?
A nebulizer is a machine that uses compressed air to deliver asthma medicine as wet aerosol, a mist that can be inhaled. Nebulizers are most often used for children younger than 5, people who have difficulty using inhalers, and those with severe asthma. Nebulizers are also used by people with chronic lung diseases, such as emphysema. The most common medications used in a nebulizer are bronchodilators (such as albuterol) to help open up air passages and inhaled steroids.
Nebulizers have three main parts: a cup that holds the medication, a mouthpiece or mask attached to a “T”-shaped part, and a thin, plastic tube that connects the mouthpiece to the compressor. There are home and hospital models of nebulizers, as well as portable units. The portable machines run on batteries or can be plugged into your car’s cigarette lighter.
How to use a nebulizer
Read the equipment instructions completely before using your nebulizer, because directions vary from one manufacturer to another.
The medication solution that you will use in an aerosol machine may come in a multi-dose bottle with a dropper, or in a small plastic vial.
Steps for using a nebulizer:
Wash your hands prior to preparing each nebulizer treatment, and make sure the equipment is clean.
If using a multi-dose bottle of medicine, use the dropper to put the correct amount of medication into the cup with saline solution. If your medicine is in single-use vials, twist open the top of the plastic vial and then squeeze the contents into the nebulizer cup.
Connect the mouthpiece to the T-shaped part and then fasten this unit to the cup, or fasten the mask to the cup. It is recommended that children older than 2 years old use a mouthpiece because it will deliver more medication than the mask.
Connect the nebulizer tubing to the port on the compressor.
Hold the nebulizer in an upright position to prevent spilling.
While sitting in a comfortable, upright position place the mouthpiece between your teeth and close your lips around it. Or, put on the mask, making sure it fits well so mist won’t go into your eyes.
Turn the compressor on and check the nebulizer for misting. When using a finger valve, cover the air hole to force the air into the nebulizer. If you are not using a finger valve, the nebulizer will mist continually.
Gently breathe out. As the mist starts, inhale slowly and deeply through your mouth, taking over three to five seconds for each breath, while keeping your finger over the valve hole.
At the end of a deep breath, uncover the finger valve hole to stop the mist.
Hold your breath for up to 10 seconds before exhaling. This allows the medication time to deposit in the airway.
Continue until the medicine is gone from the cup (about five minutes).
Occasionally tapping the side of the nebulizer helps the solution drop to where it can be misted. Treatment is finished when all the medication has been used from the container. The nebulizer will most likely begin sputtering when it is empty.
Store the medication as directed.
How to clean a nebulizer
Clean the nebulizer regularly to keep the equipment from clogging and to help it last longer. Cleaning also helps prevent germs that can cause infection. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and storage. Not all nebulizer parts are dishwasher safe.
After each use:
Remove the mask or mouthpiece and T-shaped part from the cup. Remove the tubing and set it aside. The tubing should not be washed or rinsed.
Rinse the mask or mouthpiece and T-shaped part in warm, running water for 30 seconds. Use distilled or sterile water for rinsing, if possible.
Shake off excess water and air dry on a clean cloth or paper towel.
Put the mask or mouthpiece and T-shaped part, cup, and tubing back together, and connect the device to the compressor. Run the machine for 10 to 20 seconds to dry the inside of the nebulizer.
Disconnect the tubing from the compressor. Make sure the nebulizer is dry before storing the nebulizer in a sealed plastic bag.
Place a cover over the compressor.

Which is a better dishwasher, Bosch or Miele?
Are parts readily available or are service calls rare for each? I want a dishwasher that will last longer than their American counterparts of 5 yrs+. Where should I purchase a Bosch or Miele dishwasher?
Miele, handsdown.
I work for an appliance company and we sell both. If your dishwasher is installed by a certified Miele installer, you get an additional year on your warranty.
They are also just as quiet (if not quieter) than the bosch.
Also, look into an Asko dishwasher. They all come with 3 years manufacturers warranty. We have both a Miele and an Asko dishwasher in our live kitchen, and I actually prefer the Asko over the Miele. It’s EXTREMELY quiet! We don’t even need to pre wash our dishes, even if they have hard, dried on oatmeal. It comes right off.
You can get Bosch in Sears (which to me, sell crappy appliances) or go to the brands’ website and hit "locate a dealer".
Check out my website, and click "Brands". There are direct links there.

What should I do? Buy a new dishwasher for $199 or pay someone to fix it?
I think paying someone to fix it would cost the same to buy a new dishwasher, what is the norm to pay someone to fix it, it is not draining. What should I do? I know a service call is like $58, plus parts to fix and that labor too.
Wait…$199.00 will buy you a downright awful new dishwasher. You should expect to pay about $365 to $485 for a decent dishwasher that will actually clean your dishes in one cycle. You will waste your time and damage your dishes with the cheaper models. If you have a high performing dishwasher right now, you should probably pay to have it fixed unless the repair will be above 3/4 of a new, good, machine.
Where can I find an engineers manual for a Kenwood KDW12SS Dishwasher?
I need to replace the door catch on my Kenwood KDW12SS Dishwasher. I can get the part from various websites but they say it should be fitted by an engineer using the engineers manual. I don’t want to buy it and break the dishwasher fitting it incorrectly.
If you have no luck with google, then there is a specialized manual search agency for such things, ask at http://manualfox.com – they could find it even if you don´t. Service is not for free, but sometimes worthy.
why would a dishwasher not drain on the last part of the cycle?
My dishwasher works, it washes, but for some reason the last bit of water wont drain… i know its clean water as theres no cloudiness, no food particles, no soap bubbles left. Why would it do this? And! how can i fix it?
That’s the way it’s supposed to work. It keeps the parts from drying out.
Hope that helps!
