New Toy

My consultant had a new machine today that he wanted me to try. You breathe in through it and then out normally and try and get the bleep to sound continous. Does any one know what this machine is called? Or what it is meant to measure? Or indeed what the aim of it is?

Hi Pulmie,

This may sound stupid but was there a picture of a cloud that you had to keep up at a certain level?? Also did it give you a percentage number at the end?

I am not sure but it may be a nitrous oxide sp? machine, they give informaion about the amount of inflammation in you airways.

I could be on the totally wrong track though!!

Hi libby, i think you could be on the correct track he wanted to see how much inflammation my asthma was causing, or if it was all reflux.

So that is possible what it is.
