Hypertonic saline solution for mucus clearance
60 ampoules each containing 4ml NaCl (3%) – sterile
Hypertonic saline solution for inhalation is a widely used and recognised form of treatment for increasing mobilisation of secretions in the lower respiratory tract. The osmotic effects of salt-containing droplets on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract help to loosen mucus. The mucus can then be cleared more easily by coughing. This can afford patients with acute bronchiolitis or cystic fibrosis considerable relief.
Can be used with compressor-operated jet nebulisers (e.g. all PARI inhalation devices), ultrasonic nebulisers or membrane nebulisers such as the eFlow®rapid.
