3.7 Install the Nebulizer
NOTE
Install the specified nebulizer. The nebulizer assembly and its installation steps
described in this section are only for reference. Refer to the nebulizer
accompanying directions for use to install and use the nebulizer.
To prevent the expiration valve from sticking due to nebulized medications, use
only medications approved for nebulization, and regularly check and clean or
replace the expiration valve membrane.
Do not use an expiratory filter or HME in the patient’s breathing circuit during
nebulization. Nebulization can cause an expiratory side filter to clog, substantially
increasing flow resistance and impairing ventilation.
Connect the nebulizer to the inspiratory limb. Connecting the nebulizer between
the patient connector and the endotracheal tube increases dead space ventilation.
