My new beurer ih60 nebuliser has arrived , it's only fractionally bigger than a PC mouse . It has mains and rechargeable battery function.
I've just used it for the first time and it's great, its perfect for my holidays in October.
Have s nice day everyone
Breath easy
Lovely
Takes a little stress out of flying knowing I can use it just before entering the airport , as we know they lower the 02 content to about 15% once the plane exceeds 8,000ft
I have a Pari eneb which is about the same size but round. It was very expensive but worthevery penny. I recently took it to the US and used it with batteries. Also very much quicker than the usual nebulisers. My son who is a pilot on long haul insists that they don’t reduce the oxygen but as I always get pain in the bronch parts of my lungs on overnight flights I am convinced that they do something. Enjoy your neb!
They keep the cabin pressurised to between 6 and 8,000ft ,that is rarified air at that altitude so the oxygen molecules are less dense that's why it goes down to 15%
Thanks
Hi Soulboy, I have one of these nebs from Evergreen. I worried that something this small would not be up to the job but it is brilliant and just as good as my larger and more expensive portable.
I've used mine twice so far and like you am impressed with it , I got mine from evergreen also plus my Phillips respironics innospire,
is it this one.yours looks smaller.

Yes Ken that's it, it's nice and compact fits in the hand easily
Evergreen nebulisers are cheaper than amazon by a tenner
Thanks for letting me know Dave , May order one myself from ebay.
Wow this looks small, just the thing for holidays, if it does the job then it was well worth it, hope you have a fab holiday, where are you going ? x
Benalmedina spain , short 2 and half hour flight , good weather this time of year as well , not to hot
Great place, although not great circumstances. I spent a few weeks there, Mum had heart failure whilst on holiday with friends and I went over to help and bring her home. Have a good holiday x
Thanks
what is this as I have never seen one of these before and have had copd for 8 years now
A travel nebuliser taffie , it has mains and rechargeable sealed battery capability plus all the tubing, face mask and tube plus spare filters , evergreen nebulisers are cheaper than amazon by a tenner
This is interesting I don’t have any of this. I just have symbicort spiriva and ventolin from drs. I’m going on a long haul flight in November 12 hours and sometimes I’ve felt rubbish after a flight - would this be something I should check out with the copd nurse?
Definetly pepper, especially as you felt rubbish after your last flight ,its always better to be informed, hopefully you wont need anything else apart from your inhailers , long haul flights can be stressful in themselves without the added worry or being able to breath correctly , copd nurses will tell you what they think and any steps you might need to take, sorry this advice is very generic but not knowing what stage copd your at or your average o2 stats ( they usually say over 95% at rest your fine but only you know how you feel)
I hope this helps , have a nice flight and trip
Thank you so much. I do worry and I try to carry a rescue pack when away but I went to New York January this year and it was awful was straight on antibiotics but never realised a flight can affect me.
God yes , the reduced oxygen can cause us to feel real I'll, the cabin stays pressurised but only to what it's like between 6 to 8,000ft , this rarified air has a 02 content of about 15% whereas normal altitude is 21% , as I've said have a chat to copd nurses they will give you excellent advice
Where did you get your nebuliser, it sounds fantastic. Can you get it from the Doctor's or do you have to buy it and if so how much is it.
The travel one ( pictured) I got from evergreen nebulisers it was 69 quid and is a tenner cheaper than on amazon the doc wont supply these travel ones but your copd nurses if you need a nebuliser will " loan" you one permanently or they do in my health district
Hope this helps
I need clarification...the plastic piece u breath into, I call a nebulizer...the machine u r talking about, u attach the mouth piece to tubing and attach to this battery operated machine...have I got it right??? Or does the plastic piece attach to machine directly without tubing???going to Portugal in a month...I could use this in the bathroom to do some clearing if I had too...???
The machine is the actual nebuliser Neville, this gives out a constant stream of air which goes through the attached hose into the atomiser ( or pot) which in turn mists the liquid medication ( usually a salbutamol or saline solution) , this medication has to be about 3 to 6 microns ? To work correctly , the mask attaches to this pot where you can inhail through the nose or mouth , I tend to try both and occasionally hold my breath to keep the medicine in my lungs longer , hope this helps , this travel nebuliser I have ( pictured) is very quiet if you hold it in your hand , set on a flat hard surface its slightly noisy but nothing neighbours or people in other rooms will hear
I am very pleased that I was told about this mimi nebuliser as I am going on holiday next week and have bought one from Amazon for £79.00 and it has arrived. It is fantastic because I won't have to carry my big one on the plane, thank you soulboy118 for telling us about this wonderful little nebuliser.
Glad to help stanns , I'm away next week as well have a safe and enjoyable holiday
You too.
