A Simple and Novel Modification of the Nebulization Mask to Improve Nebulization in the Supine Position.

Abstract

Dear Editor, Nebulization therapy is commonly used for pre-hospital and in-hospital (operating theatre, intensive care unit and emergency area) patient care.1 For this purpose, a nebulisation mask device is widely used, which consists of a Hudson mask, a medicine cup and an oxygen tube (Figure 1A). It is necessary to pass oxygen flow from the bottom of the medicine cup so that oxygen can go through the medicine and the medicine can change from liquid to mist form.
