A nebuliser dose of ventolin is either 2.5mg or 5mg in 2.5 mls saline. I assume you mean a 100mcg per puff inhaler, which would obvs be 600mcg in 6 puffs. A 2.5mg neb is worth 25 puffs of a 100mcg inhaler, so 6 puffs via spacer is about a quarter of a neb dose (i.e. not that much!)
Ventolin contain an isotonic solution of salt; I assume that pharmacists have thought better. Sodium chloride has also an antibacterial effect.
Yes, sodium chloride (also known as saline solution) and Ventolin (albuterol sulfate) can be used together in a nebulizer mixture for respiratory treatments. Nebulizers are devices that convert liquid medication into a fine mist that can be inhaled into the lungs. This is often used to deliver medications directly to the respiratory system, making them particularly useful for treating conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory issues. Here's how the combination of sodium chloride and Ventolin works in a nebulizer: Sodium Chloride (Saline Solution): Saline solution is a sterile mixture of water and salt. It is often used as a diluent to help facilitate the delivery of medications in a nebulizer. The mist generated by the nebulizer helps moisturize the airways and can help in the clearance of mucus from the respiratory tract. Ventolin (Albuterol Sulfate): Ventolin is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, allowing them to open up and making it easier to breathe. It's commonly used to relieve bronchospasms and manage conditions like asthma. When used together, the combination of Ventolin and saline solution can help deliver the medication more effectively to the respiratory system. The saline solution helps carry the medication into the lungs while also providing a soothing effect on the airways. The specific instructions for mixing and using the nebulizer solution can vary based on your healthcare provider's recommendations and the type of nebulizer you're using. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's guidance and the instructions provided with the medication and nebulizer to ensure safe and effective treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about using nebulized medications, be sure to consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
what catecholamine should not be mixed with normal saline
Saline Lock should not stay in longer than 72 hours in the same location.
yes
Glucose saline solution should be put in autoclave.Water is needed which should be with salt and minerals. Water should be boiled so that it kills all bacteria.
Saline replacement should only be used if all other measures have failed. If you have a lipemic sample, plasma HGB should be used to correct the HGB, MCHC, and MCH. If you hae a cold agglutinin, then the sample should be warmed and re-run. If the cold agglutinin will not warm out, then saline replacement should be considered.
Saline solution should always be in given as a concentration of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl).
Normal Saline should not be used in the humidifier of your CPAP machine. Only distilled water should be used. The salt in the saline water could build up in the water chamber and introduce bacteria in the air your breathe. If you have further questions regarding this, you should speak with your physician or respiratory therapist.
no sterile saline cannot be used because strile saline is different from injectable saline. strile saline is used for irrigating the wound and injectable saline in given intravenously
yes
