How does an asthma atomizer work?
An efficient atomizer consists of a liquid reservoir, a source of air pressure, and a baffle plate. When the tube from the reservoir and the tube providing air pressure meet at right angles, the air stream causes liquid to be drawn out of the liquid reservoir, and be blown in droplets in the direction of the airflow. If the droplets strike a baffle, target plate, or close anvil-like object, the droplets become even finer, and are more easily inhaled and distributed in the lungs or otherwise. ---Rod

How does asthma affect you physically?
Asthma can affect your lifestyle if it is not controlled properly. The intermittent wheeze that is produced by asthma causes some duress to the patient. On the other hand, since asthma attacks are more common during nights, the patient has disturbed sleep, leading to a reduction in his or her work output the following day. Thus untreated asthma can impair your lifestyle. But the good news for asthmatics is that modern medicine has several reliable drugs to treat the disorder and ensure that the patient has a normal lifestyle.
What are the side effect of inhaler for asthma?
ADVAIR DISKUS can cause serious side effects, including: •
People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicines, such as salmeterol (one of the medicines in ADVAIR DISKUS), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether fluticasone propionate, the other medicine in ADVAIR DISKUS, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with LABA medicines. • It is not known if LABA medicines such as salmeterol increase the risk of death in people with COPD. • Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using ADVAIR DISKUS. You may need different treatment. •
Get emergency medical care if: your breathing problems worsen quickly. • you use your rescue inhaler, but it does not relieve your breathing problems. • ADVAIR DISKUS should be used only if your healthcare provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. When your asthma is well controlled, your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking ADVAIR DISKUS. Your healthcare provider will decide if you can stop ADVAIR DISKUS without loss of asthma control. Your healthcare provider may prescribe a different asthma control medicine for you, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. • Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.

What happens to a person who has emphysema?
it slowly kills you. ---- Emphysema is most often caused by long term exposure to cigarette smoke, or exposure to other irritants (people who used to work in coal mines often develop emphysema).
The irritants gradually damage the alveoli in the lungs, destroying their elasticity and shape. This results in a smaller surface area for gas exchange between the alveoli and blood vessels to take place. This results in less oxygen being absorbed and delivered to body tissues. The person with emphysema will therefore get very short of breath very quickly when carrying out day to day activities.
Does asthma affect specific populations of people?
We don't know if Autism is more common in one race in particular. Currently figures show higher rates in white people but this is not to say that white people are more likely to be autistic, this is simply because white people have better access to assessments to get a diagnosis and culturally there will be less stigma in white communities against people with neurological conditions.
If you have asthma what dogs can you have?
First you need to know symptoms & Causes of Asthma :
Asthma Symptoms: Coughing, Chest Tightness, Shortness of Breath, Difficulty in Breathing, wheezing, Increased Heart Rate & more.
Causes of Asthma: Smoking, Allergies, Pollution, Dust Mites, Infections, Cold Wind, poor Digestion, Food Allergies, Weather Conditions.
Asthma should be treated in the right way, so that asthmatic people may live a normal life more actively.
The first step to relieve an asthma attack is to use your quick-acting bronchodilator (such as albuterol). The usual dose is 2 puffs, breathed slowly and deeply. In a sudden severe crisis of breathing, you can safely use as many as 4 puffs at a time. Under normal circumstances, it is usually recommended that you use your quick-relief bronchodilator no more than 4 times a day. To treat an asthma attack, however, you can safely use it as often as every 20 minutes for as long as 2 hours, if needed. If available, a compressor with nebulizer can be used in the same way, every 20 minutes for several doses. The major side-effects to anticipate are a jittery feeling and racing of the heart.
Asthma is a disease of the lungs. Snow mountain garlic also helps to reduce Asthma disease.
Eat a Snow Mountain Garlic Capsule Daily OR Add 3 cloves of garlic to a pot of hot water. Boil it for 5-7 minutes. Let it cool and then drink.

Is there a vaccine for asthma?
There is always research being done because asthma is so common and can cause a lot of breathing problems. But there has been no cure found or cause of asthma. Try doing a search on the internet and you will probably find research done on asthma.
What systems are effected by hypothermia?
It affects virtually all organ systems. The most significantly affeccted are the cardiovascular system and the Central Nervous System.
What happens if there is not enough oxygen in the blood?
If your blood was ever truly too acidic or basic, you're body would go into massive shutdown as your blood completely dissolved you from the inside out. However, unless some organs are failing, you have absolutely no need to worry. Lots of alternative medicine sites would love to sell you magical concoctions that will balance your body's pH, and these are just a bunch of crackpot products that make completely unverified claims. You probably can get your chi balanced and your chakras realigned for free if you buy in bulk. If you did have organ failure, you'd be on an IV under the supervision of trained medical staff.So you, like most of the non-organ-failure public, will never need to worry about purchasing buffers or any other such nonsense. I suspect that most of those buying such products may have at least one failed organ: their brains.
Can a poodle trigger asthma or allergies?
Since poodles are known as hypoallergenic dogs any size poodle is great for people that have asthma. (I have high asthma and i own a miniature poodle. Great!) Poodles do shed, but less than some dogs, because their hair grows longer than most, so the shedding is less frequent. Dog skin (dander) and saliva are more significant than the hair as far as allergens are concerned, so the more a dog is groomed (outside the home), the less allergens are shed into the home. People with an allergy to an animal, can sometimes physiologically come to accept a particular animal as part of their environment after being exposed to them for some time, which is why some people do not react to their own cat or dog, but do to others.
How does emphysema affect a person's alveoli?
*IT* Doesnt
Emphyesma is when alveoli die.
how does it affect them...
Well it would affect them like it affects every other cell in the body.

but it acually doesnt affect the alveoli
it just happens
when they die
What causes cold cough asthma bronchitis pneumonia tuberculosis lung cancer and cystic fibrosis?
The question "what causes a cold, cough, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and cystic fibrosis" is too broad to be explained in one answer. Each condition has it's own causes (example: a cold is from a virus; tuberculosis is from the TB organism). But at the root of each of these is the start of a mechanism or microorganism that causes irritation of the bronchi/bronchioles and lung tissue, restriction of lung expansion, and often resulting in a type of cough specific to that condition or disease. For example, pneumonia can often create serious lung sounds that help define how serious the pneumonia is (such as "rales" or "rhonci") but a general cough from a viral cold usually only produces some wheezing and cough. Again, each of the conditions or diseases you listed have a specific and different causative factor, but each can have direct effects on respiration.
What effect does asthma have on the blood pressure?
One of the ways it can affect the heart is because there is less Oxygenated blood being pumped from the lungs due to less Oxygen entering the body. This can therfore cause the heart to have to beat harder and faster to adequately supply the body with Oxygen. This is tiring for the heart and can sometimes cause irregular pulse patterns.
What is the breathing machine for asthma attacks?
You can use either:
A nebulizer. You put anti inflammatory medicine or other medicine to help stop difficulty breathing into a plastic chamber, you put the mask to your mouth ( comes in a mouth tube or a strap where it cover your mouth) and breath it in to reduce swelling and inflammation.
OR
A fast acting inhaler which will quickly reduce swelling and inflammation. There is a aerochamber ( you puff the medicine into a chamber,open the lid, then breath it in, gets more medicine then)
A regular inhaler which you puff then breath)
Is asthma caused by allergies?
no it is caused when your lung tubes have too much cell thingies in them causing air to not pass through them as easily.
