From April 23rd to 26th, the Haowu "Home" Youth Series Activity - Jiawu Encyclopedia · Science Popularization Salon was held simultaneously in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, aiming to convey knowledge of respiratory disease prevention and control, new knowledge of home atomization health to the general public, and help families manage their daily respiratory health. Professor Hong Jianguo, Chief Physician of the Department of Pediatrics at the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, said: "Elderly people with declining physical function and children with impaired immune function are high-risk groups for respiratory diseases, often experiencing symptoms such as cough, phlegm, and wheezing, and need special attention. Nebulization therapy, as a commonly used treatment for respiratory diseases, has the advantages of fast onset, good safety, and good patient compliance, especially suitable for the elderly and children. In recent years, home atomization has become increasingly popular, with simple and convenient operation, which can help patients carry out respiratory disease management, achieve timely treatment at home, and complete treatment." Professor Hong Jianguo, Chief Physician of the Department of Pediatrics at the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, said Professor Zhou Wei, Chief Physician of Pediatrics at Peking University Third Hospital, said: "Nebulization therapy is one of the effective treatment methods for respiratory diseases, just like oral administration, intravenous drip, and intramuscular injection. Nebulization is a convenient way of drug delivery. Its principle is to use a nebulizer to atomize the medicine into extremely small particles. During the process of breathing, the patient enters the airway along the airflow and reaches the lungs, thus playing a therapeutic role. Therefore, nebulization therapy can not only quickly relieve symptoms, but also reduce the amount of medication used locally, reduce systemic adverse reactions, and meet different usage scenarios such as going out at home. Recently, with the high incidence of respiratory diseases, the demand for nebulization therapy has significantly increased." Professor Zhou Wei, Chief Physician of Pediatrics at Peking University Third Hospital, said Home nebulization inhalation therapy is not only suitable for emergency treatment during acute attacks, but also commonly used for control and management of stable or remission periods of chronic respiratory diseases. For children and the elderly, catching a cold is inevitable, and many also suffer from chronic respiratory diseases such as coughing, sputum production, and wheezing, which seriously affect normal life and sleep. Chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often require long-term control and treatment, "Professor Hong Jianguo suggested." At this time, it is recommended to follow medical advice and use home nebulization to achieve timely and standardized management of the disease, avoid frequent trips to the hospital, save time and economic costs, and achieve timely stabilization of the condition. When there is an acute attack of asthma or cough worsening at night, timely intervention can be made to avoid further deterioration of the condition. Moreover, doing nebulization at home can reduce psychological pressure and improve children's compliance with treatment. "So, is home nebulization reliable? What? Regarding this, Professor Zhou Wei stated, "The effectiveness of nebulization therapy does not depend on the location. As long as appropriate equipment is selected and the operation method is correctly mastered, nebulization at home can achieve the same treatment effect as in a hospital. Parents can keep nebulizers and common nebulization drugs at home, including expectorants, bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, etc. At the same time, they should learn about home nebulization knowledge and carry out home nebulization correctly and standardly." Parents also do not have to worry about the impact of nebulization therapy on their children's growth and development due to the use of hormones. Even with hormone nebulization therapy for certain conditions, the dosage is minimal and the body absorbs less. As long as medication is used correctly and reasonably under the guidance of a doctor, it does not significantly affect the child's growth and development, and there is no need to worry about drug dependence. However, most people still have limited knowledge and even misunderstandings about nebulization therapy. In terms of the principle, common indications, common knowledge of atomization medication, specific steps of home atomization treatment and special crowd care, scientific, understandable and practical guidance can be obtained by consulting doctors, participating in online and offline science popularization activities, or learning science popularization materials. For example, the Encyclopedia of Family Atomization emphasizes that children should avoid eating and applying oily face cream 30 minutes before atomization treatment; During treatment, a quiet, tidy, well ventilated, and temperature appropriate environment should be chosen. At the same time, it is recommended that the affected child take a sitting or semi recumbent position, take even and slow deep breaths, and keep the nebulizer cup upright. After treatment, the child's mouth and nose should be cleaned in a timely manner, and residual medication should be removed by rinsing with water. At the same time, the nebulization equipment should be cleaned, disinfected, and stored properly. This Good Fog "Home" Youth Science Popularization Activity effectively conveyed knowledge of home atomization to the public through various forms of science popularization activities such as on-site expert lectures and fun Q&A, in order to enable more families and patients to have a deeper understanding and cognition of atomization therapy and home atomization knowledge, and thus build a solid respiratory health defense line for the "one elderly and one young" population in the home, jointly cope with the challenges brought by respiratory diseases, and protect respiratory health.
