💡TL;DR: Asthma rarely goes away on its own — it is a chronic airway disease — but symptoms can enter remission for years, especially after mild childhood asthma.

💡TL;DR: Hospital nebulizers are supervised, high‑output systems for severe flare‑ups; home nebulizers are compact devices for routine control and early symptoms. Home treatments typically take 5-15 minutes per dose, while hospitals can give back-to-back or continuous treatments with oxygen and monitoring. Home units are quieter and portable

💡TL;DR: Asthma is chronic and noninfectious; acute bronchitis is usually a short-term infection with mucus. About 90% of acute bronchitis cases are viral, so antibiotics usually are not needed. Asthma often needs daily controller medicine plus a rescue inhaler, while acute bronchitis typically improves in 1–3 weeks with

💡TL;DR: Asthma is a chronic airway disease you manage long term; pneumonia is an acute lung infection you treat and usually cure. Typical clues: wheezing without fever = asthma; fever plus a wet cough = pneumonia. Doctors confirm asthma with spirometry and pneumonia with a chest X-ray; pneumonia leads to about

💡TL;DR: Hypertonic saline, dornase alfa (Pulmozyme), and inhaled mannitol thin CF mucus so you can clear it.

Respiratory support devices play an important role in managing and treating various illnesses and conditions. For specific types of patients in a clinical setting, these devices help people breathe more effectively. A large volume nebulizer (LVN) falls into this category. But what is a large volume nebulizer exactly? Let’s
