power options for nebuliser

[Yorkshire Andy]

If you drive can you not get a car adaptor?

Then with a car adaptor you could use a leisure battery and solar panel

Nebulizer, that's where the drug is put into the lungs in a mist form

Could you not use a compressed air supply onto the mask like they do in a hospital environment thereby removing the need for power , unsure of the psi needed to do this but either have a dive bottle (circa 250bar ) or even would a compressor tank (circa 120 psi) add a foot pump and you would have air to mist the drug .

Thank you all for your suggestions-
Yes do have batteries in the car
Not sure re compressed air option as usually nebulise with gas via the internal hospital systems when admitted-but worth looking into
Batteries via respiratory nurse/ gp will ask but have found over the last 10 years funding cuts have resulted in the hosp saying ask gp and visa versa!
Am so lucky to have 2 devices at home one mains only, the other portable,Mr 7 lives will be following up on all your ideas this week as a priority,

It falls on the district nurse and that is out of the GP budget so don't let them tell you otherwise. It has got nothing to do with the hospital, it is domicillory care or similar word.


I looked into that sort of stuff when they tried to leave me swinging with 8 months of looking after my sons giant fixator and the dressings and anti septics.
