Omnibus br-cn116 Nebulizer Advice please?

Can i use just saline or steralized water in my Nebilizer. I just got the Onmibus br-cn116 just in case i need it. Hope you are all keeping safe xxx

You can. But be warned. A lot of asthmatics really have issues with nebulised saline as it triggers them. And it often can be a delayed response too. So be careful

I think I will just stick to using water. Thanks for reply.

Hi

Just be careful what saline you use..

There are very different strengths and some of the higher (hypertonic) saline eg. 6 or 7% concentrations should only be prescribed by your hospital teams. As has been said they can cause problems for unwary asthmatics.

However normal saline of 0.4-0.6% concentration is obviously less concentrated and might be helpful.. but you should check with your GP/Cons to be sure.
