7% Saline in Nebulizer for Mac

Posted by healthybon @healthybon, Mar 7, 2023

Could you all give me your opinion?
I have Mac..don’t know species yet.

I’m new at this but have seen many posts on here about how important it is to clear the mucus. Saline in nebulizer, flutter valve!

I requested that my pulmonary call in a script for the 7% saline to be used in a nebulizer! His response was “just use the flutter valve, the saline could make things worse.”
I have read in this support group that everyone uses the saline and also videos on UTUBE…..etc. I’m confused.
What is your opinion on this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

National Jewish Health in Denver, CO. Care teams are experts in treating bronchiectasis, MAC among many other respiratory diseases. Several people in this forum travel to NJH for care and treatment because they do not have adequate care locally. Some go for a second opinion. After all, bronchiectasis is somewhat of a rare disease.
