Travel Nebulizer

Posted by debminuet @debminuet, Jun 5, 2024

Hello Everyone,
I dont use this site often only Im sure glad its here for us all. Its a bear dealing with MAC.
Can anyone recommend a travel nebulizer? I looked up the Phillips Innospire Go Portable Mesh Neb and it was discontinued. Ive just now got the guts to feel I can travel and I want to make sure the travel neb. is excellent.
I look forward to hearing back soon,
Thankyou,
Take Care. Keep Safe.
Deborah

I take NAC orally, and had not heard of nebulizing it. Could you tell me more about this? Did you have a Doctor order it?

If I could neb outside, it would be a solution, but while I am nebulizing, I need to be wearing the Vest with the Hill-Rom "shake me up" machine, which I can't take outside.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am thankful for the Vest and for Acetylcysteine, because they have given me a lot of relief, so I may just need to make it work. 🙂

Hi Jan: Next best thing to Acetylcysteine outside is easy - even in now tundra New Hampshire. My desk has a window on one side about 4' away from where I sit. I setup a pedestal fan on the other side of my desk. The wind from the fan carries the smell right outdoors without turning my office into a freezer. My wife noticed that the smell no longer wafted through the house. win - win!

My pulmonologist recently told me to carefully watch the age of N acetylcysteine - when it stinks it is deteriorating, and probably no longer effective. She recommends buying a 30-60 day supply at a time from a source that sells a lot of it.
I am looking for such a source now, but haven't found one yet. My current vendor tells me they can't always guarantee a "fresh" batch.

I am trying to find a nebulizer for my 92 year old mother who needs to nebulizer 3 times per day. Her pulmonologist told me he has no recommendations so I am reaching out to see if anyone has any suggestions. I am looking for one that is for both albuterol and acetylcysteine and that goes fairly fast with a low noise level. She uses a table top so it does not need to be hand held. Thank you in advance.
