Video: The Best Way To Take Respiratory Medications and Treatments

MyCOPDTeam has partnered with the Home Rehab Network to bring you videos filled with helpful tips and exercises that you can do from the comfort of your own home.

The Best Way to Take Respiratory Medications and Treatments

A nebulizer can be an invaluable tool for taking inhaled medications, but it won’t deliver the full benefit unless it is used properly. A nebulizer can also help reduce chest congestion. In this video, respiratory therapist Alex Grichuhin from the Home Rehab Network discusses how to use a nebulizer with a flutter device to reduce and remove congestion.

This video will help viewers attach a flutter device to a nebulizer so it can be used to clear the chest and deliver medication.

Do you have any questions for Alex about COPD and nebulizer treatments? Post them in the comments below.
