Why should nebulization be performed?

In general, nebulization is primarily used to treat respiratory diseases. Nebulization works by turning medication into a mist through a nebulizing solution, allowing patients to better absorb the medication during breathing, thereby relieving respiratory discomfort. It is commonly used in clinical practice for treating conditions such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, acute pharyngitis, and can also help alleviate asthma symptoms. Before performing nebulization, it is important to clear any foreign matter from the nasal passages and mouth to maintain airway patency. The patient should be positioned in a semi-reclining or sitting position, and the nasal and oral cavities should be cleared to ensure an unobstructed airway.
