Nebulizer Inhalation Therapy
Nebulizer Inhalation Therapy
Clinical Indications:
Patients experiencing bronchospasm.
Procedure:
1. Gather the necessary equipment. 2. Assemble the nebulizer kit. 3. Apply ETCO2 device to patient if available. 4. Instill the premixed drug (such as Albuterol or other approved drug) into the reservoir well of
the nebulizer. 5. Connect the nebulizer device to oxygen at 4 - 6 liters per minute or adequate flow to produce a
steady, visible mist. 6. Instruct the patient to inhale normally through the mouthpiece of the nebulizer. The patient
needs to have a good lip seal around the mouthpiece. 7. The treatment should last until the solution is depleted. Tapping the reservoir well near the
end of the treatment will assist in utilizing all of the solution. 8. Monitor the patient for medication effects. This should include the patient's assessment of his/
her response to the treatment and reassessment of vital signs, ECG, and breath sounds. 9. Assess and document peak flows before and after nebulizer treatments. 10. Document the treatment, dose, and route on/with the patient care report (PCR).
Certification Requirements:
Maintain knowledge of the indications, contraindications, technique, and possible complications of the procedure. Assessment of this knowledge may be accomplished via quality assurance mechanisms, classroom demonstrations, skills stations, or other mechanisms as deemed appropriate by the Survival Flight Medical Director.
