Pediatric Nebulizers for kids

Kids are often difficult to administer nebulizers too. Having a plan to keep their interest is very important to keep them in place during their nebulizer treatment. Making nebulizer time as fun as possible has worked great for us. When it is time for a nebulizer, our child gets to play with a special toy and watch a movie that is only available while having a nebulizer treatment. Although we do not like our child watching videos normally, we do let him watch videos while having a nebulizer treatment. The special toy is a nebulizer character machine and the movie has the character (or a character closely matching the nebulizer character) in it. The result is a 2 year old child that looks forward to his treatments! One of the most important things is that the toy and movie are only available during treatments, that way the child looks forward to the time and he or she does not get bored with the movie or nebulizer treatment. If the child does not like wearing the mask, then the nebulizer can be administered by blow by. It does take a few tries to get the method to work, however we found it was the easiest way to get our child to sit still for his treatments. Here is a list of pediatric nebulizers and movies that relate to the character displayed.

Bus Pediatric Nebulizer

Click Image For Bus NebulizerThe bus pediatric nebulizer includes 1 reusable nebulizer, 1 adult mask, 1 pediatric mask, 1 mouthpiece, 1 PVC tubing, and 3 spare filters. Designed to meet requirements of HCPCS Code, the manufacturer offers a 5 year limited warranty. The bus pediatric nebulizer is quite colorful, child-friendly, and considered reliable among users for its dry piston compressor method of nebulization. I like the bus concept and the colorful design as it appeals to young children though do not care for the overall size (3.8" H x 5" W x 10.9" D and 3.75 lbs.) as it makes this a bit bulky for young users and difficult to manage. At an affordable price, the bus nebulizer will make any child sit and learn about the wheels on the bus while administering medication.

I love the train concept as a child can focus on the friendly appearance and colorful design as well as the compact and lightweight (6.7"W x 5.5" D x 4" H & 3.75 lbs.) features allowing young users to administer treatment themselves. I do not like the fact this train nebulizer has the potential to overheat causing the manufacturer to instill an automatic shut off system to the nebulizer. At an affordable price, the Train nebulizer compressor would make any train loving child sit still while administering medication.

The Neb-u-Tyke Speedster Nebulizer Compressor includes 1 reusable nebulizer (single user), 1 adult mask, 1 pediatric mask, 1 mouthpiece, 1 PVC tubing, 1 "T" adapter, and 3 spare filters. The Neb-u-Tyke speedster Nebulizer is quite colorful, child-friendly, and highly interactive including a stickers' kit for patients to customize their racecar designs. Though considered lightweight, the overall size (6.9" W x 3.7" H x 10.2" D at 3.8 lbs.) is bulky for young patients to administer medications individually. I love the Cars theme though the flow range of the compressor at 0-12 liters/min proves slower and the capacity of medication at 5 ml is lower than most nebulizers in nebulizing medication. The overall theme of this pediatric nebulizer is appealing to purchasers though the price begins higher making my decision difficult when other options are more affordable though the interactive capabilities have me thrilled to purchase the Neb-u-Tyke Speedster Nebulizer.

This pediatric nebulizer is unique among all nebulizers by adapting the mouthpiece to have a pacifier for infant nebulizer use, and ensures quiet and comfort during treatments. This manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty and is easy and safe to use. I like the ability to adjust to various levels of flow and pressure ranges to ensure comfort levels to different ages of children. For the affordable price, this child-friendly concept offers not only a variety options, but the pacifier adjustment to serve the needs of infants. One concern would be the weight of this unit as it is about ¾ pounds more than most other pediatric nebulizers. Though, given all the accessories included and levels offered for pressure and flow range, any mom would be more than happy with using the pediatric compressor nebulizer for treatments.
