Targeted aerosol delivery for acute exacerbations of asthma, COPD and bronchitis.
Nebulisation therapy delivers medication directly to the airways as a fine mist — used for acute asthma attacks, COPD exacerbations, bronchitis and post-operative chest physiotherapy.
Nebulisation converts liquid medication into a fine mist that can be inhaled deep into the airways, providing rapid relief in acute asthma attacks, COPD exacerbations, viral bronchitis and post-operative chest care. It is especially useful for children, elderly patients or anyone temporarily unable to coordinate an inhaler.
Not necessarily — a correctly used inhaler with a spacer delivers similar or higher lung doses. Nebulisation is preferred when the patient is too breathless, too young or too weak to use an inhaler.
A standard session runs 8–15 minutes. We monitor SpO₂ throughout and document response before you leave.
Mild tremor, palpitations or a temporary bitter taste can occur with bronchodilators. Steroid nebulisation needs a mouth rinse afterwards to avoid oral thrush.
No. Daily control still needs a correctly-used inhaler. Nebulisation is a rescue and adjunct therapy — not a long-term substitute.
Yes, with appropriate mask sizes, monitoring and drug doses supervised by the pulmonologist's team.
