What is Resp-Ease?
Resp-Ease is a saline solution that contains a higher concentration of salt than normal saline solution. Normal saline solution typically has a concentration of 0.9% salt, while hypertonic saline solution can have a concentration of 3% or higher. The higher concentration of salt in hypertonic saline solution causes water to move out of the cells and into the solution, making the solution hypertonic.
This means that water will move out of the cells and into the solution, causing the cells to shrink. Resp-Ease have a concentration of 3% - 7% depending on variant. It can be used to relieve nasal congestion and dryness by irrigating the nasal passages, commonly used as a flushing agent during medicals.
Why hypertonic saline and why nebulisers?
Ease of use: Hypertonic saline solutions are very easy to use, especially for children and elderly individuals who may have difficulty using an inhaler.
Effectiveness: Nebulisers can deliver a higher dose of medication to the lungs compared to an inhaler, which can be more effective in treating respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and others.
Convenience: Nebulisers can be used at home, eliminating the need for regular trips to the doctor or hospital for treatment.
Flexibility: Nebulisers can be used with a variety of medications, including bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and antibiotics, which can be used to treat a range of respiratory conditions.
Delivery: Nebulisers can deliver medication directly to the lungs, which can be especially beneficial for individuals with severe respiratory issues or difficulty coordinating inhalation with an inhaler.
If you're a first-time user of hypertonic saline solution or a regular, Resp-Ease is the perfect choice for you.
Improved breathing: Excess mucus in the lungs can make it difficult to breathe, so reducing mucus can make it easier to breathe and improve lung function.
Reduced risk of infections: Mucus in the lungs can trap bacteria and viruses, increasing the risk of infections. By reducing mucus, the risk of infections can be reduced.
Improved quality of life: People with chronic lung conditions often have difficulty breathing and are at risk of lung infections. Reducing mucus can improve their quality of life.
Reduced inflammation: Mucus can also cause inflammation in the lungs, which can further damage lung tissue. Reducing mucus can help reduce inflammation and protect the lungs.
Resp-Ease: A solution of salt and water, can be used in a nebuliser as a way to help clear mucus from the lungs. When the saline solution is turned into a mist by the nebuliser and then inhaled, it can help to hydrate and loosen the mucus in the lungs.
Benefits: This can make it easier to cough up or remove the mucus from the lungs. The mist can also help to reduce inflammation in the airways, which can further improve breathing.
Usage: A nebuliser is a device that turns Resp-Ease into a fine mist that can be inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask.
Resp-Ease hypertonic solution for inhalation is indicated for the humidification of the upper and lower airways.
How it works: The salt in the solution works by drawing water out of the cells that line the airways, which helps to loosen and hydrate the mucus. This can make it easier to cough up mucus and can also help to reduce inflammation in the airways. Additionally, saline solution can also help to flush out any irritants or bacteria that may be trapped in the mucus.
Compatibility: The nebuliser saline solution can be used with pneumatic or ultrasonic nebulisers. The solution is perfect for people who are experiencing symptoms of colds, coughs and flu. Highly compatible with human fluids to ensure sufficient humidification of the respiratory mucosa, avoiding unpleasant dryness.
Usage Amounts: Up to four vials can be used per day (with one vial per inhalation). Break off a unit-dose vial and open it by twisting off the top. - Pour the inhalation solution into the nebuliser. - Use your nebuliser according to the manufacturer's instructions provided with the system. . Prepare the nebuliser by following the manufacturer's instructions and the advice of your doctor.
Safety: Never use a vial that has been opened already. Squeeze the contents of the plastic ampoule or use a dosing syringe as required into the nebuliser chamber. Assemble the nebuliser and use it as directed by your doctor.
Cleaning: After nebulisation, clean the nebuliser. The nebuliser must be kept clean. As the single dose units contain no preservatives it is important that the contents are used immediately after opening and a fresh vial is used for each administration to avoid microbial contamination.
Partly used, opened or damaged single dose units should be discarded.
