Tambi\u00e9n conocidos como terapia de nebulizaci\u00f3n, los tratamientos respiratorios se inhalan para tratar las sibilancias, la falta de aliento y otros problemas respiratorios que pueda estar experimentando.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Razones para los tratamientos respiratorios<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Su terapeuta respiratorio puede recomendarle tratamientos respiratorios para tratar la inflamaci\u00f3n de las v\u00edas respiratorias, la dificultad para respirar, las sibilancias, la tos y la mucosidad espesa debidas a las siguientes enfermedades y afecciones:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Anafilaxia<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La anafilaxia es una enfermedad potencialmente mortal. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/services\/urgent-care\/allergies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reacci\u00f3n al\u00e9rgica<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> que provoca la inflamaci\u00f3n de las v\u00edas respiratorias.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Enfermedades respiratorias cr\u00f3nicas<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ejemplos de enfermedades respiratorias cr\u00f3nicas son el asma, la fibrosis qu\u00edstica y la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva cr\u00f3nica (EPOC), que incluye la bronquitis cr\u00f3nica y el enfisema.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Infecciones pulmonares<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ejemplos de infecciones pulmonares son la neumon\u00eda, la bronquitis aguda y las infecciones f\u00fangicas y v\u00edricas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la terapia de nebulizaci\u00f3n?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Un nebulizador m\u00e9dico es un dispositivo de administraci\u00f3n de f\u00e1rmacos que convierte los medicamentos l\u00edquidos en niebla para su inhalaci\u00f3n. Esto facilita a los pacientes la inhalaci\u00f3n del medicamento en los pulmones. La base del nebulizador contiene un compresor de aire que est\u00e1 conectado al recipiente del medicamento mediante un tubo. Cuando se presiona el compresor de aire, el medicamento l\u00edquido se convierte en una niebla que el paciente inhala.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los nebulizadores pueden utilizarse para diversos medicamentos, tanto para el alivio inmediato como para el mantenimiento de una afecci\u00f3n respiratoria. Algunos ejemplos de medicamentos para el tratamiento respiratorio son:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Medicamentos antimicrobianos<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los medicamentos antimicrobianos tratan las infecciones respiratorias. Algunos ejemplos son&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pentamidina (Nebupent), ribavirina (Virazole) y tobramicina (TOBI).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Medicamentos broncodilatadores<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los medicamentos broncodilatadores ayudan a relajar y abrir las v\u00edas respiratorias. Algunos ejemplos son:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Beta agonistas de acci\u00f3n corta<\/strong> - Broncodilatadores que relajan y abren r\u00e1pidamente las v\u00edas respiratorias estrechadas. Algunos ejemplos son el sulfato de albuterol (AccuNeb) y el clorhidrato de levalbuterol (Xopenex).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Beta agonistas de acci\u00f3n prolongada<\/strong> - Broncodilatadores que se utilizan en combinaci\u00f3n con corticosteroides inhalados. Algunos ejemplos son el arformoterol (Brovana) y el formoterol (Perforomist).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Medicamentos combinados<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Algunos ejemplos de medicamentos combinados son ipratropio y albuterol (DuoNeb).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Cortoesteroides<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los corticosteroides reducen la inflamaci\u00f3n de las v\u00edas respiratorias, incluida la budesonida (Pulmicort Respules).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Mucol\u00edticos<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los mucol\u00edticos aflojan, diluyen y eliminan las secreciones mucosas de los pulmones. Algunos ejemplos son la acetilciste\u00edna (Mucomyst) y la dornasa alfa (Pulmozyme).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Epinefrina rac\u00e9mica<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La epinefrina rac\u00e9mica trata las crisis asm\u00e1ticas graves, el crup y otras situaciones respiratorias de urgencia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Qu\u00e9 esperar de los tratamientos respiratorios<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los tratamientos respiratorios son r\u00e1pidos, f\u00e1ciles e indoloros. La terapia con nebulizador puede administrarse en nuestro <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/hospitals\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hospitales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> y centros de urgencias, o se le puede recetar un nebulizador para que lo utilice en casa. Si se realiza en uno de nuestros centros, su <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/doctors\/?specialties=pulmonary-medicine&amp;search=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">neum\u00f3logo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> empezar\u00e1 por conectar la manguera a un compresor de aire. A continuaci\u00f3n, llenar\u00e1 el botiqu\u00edn con su receta y conectar\u00e1 la manguera y la boquilla al botiqu\u00edn. A veces se utiliza una mascarilla en lugar de una boquilla, sobre todo en el caso de los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Una vez que el m\u00e9dico haya terminado de configurar el nebulizador, se encender\u00e1 la m\u00e1quina y usted pasar\u00e1 entre 10 y 20 minutos inspirando y espirando con la boquilla en la boca. Es importante que s\u00f3lo respire por la boca, de modo que absorba toda la medicaci\u00f3n. Si no puede hacerlo por s\u00ed mismo, es posible que tenga que utilizar una pinza nasal.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Candidato ideal para tratamientos respiratorios<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los medicamentos en forma de niebla son f\u00e1ciles de inhalar, por lo que los nebulizadores son \u00fatiles para tratar a lactantes, ni\u00f1os y otras personas con dificultades para utilizar inhaladores respiratorios. Los nebulizadores pueden utilizarse para ayudar a pacientes con reacciones al\u00e9rgicas, asma, fibrosis qu\u00edstica, EPOC, otras enfermedades respiratorias cr\u00f3nicas e infecciones pulmonares.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Terapia con nebulizador en Massachusetts y Rhode Island<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Si tiene problemas para respirar, acuda a Southcoast Health para recibir tratamientos respiratorios fiables.
