Inhalations save lives. 7

The morning does not begin with coffee here. First of all, mothers of children with a severe diagnosis of cystic fibrosis hurry to turn on the inhaler. Families with such patients wake up an hour and a half earlier to have time to do all procedures before school or work. This is how every day of their struggle for life begins.

In cystic fibrosis, the lungs are constantly filled with viscous sputum. Waking up in the morning, a person cannot get a lungful of fresh air. One needs to do a series of inhalations and special physiotherapy exercises to cough out. The number of inhalations depends on the severity of the disease: someone has only salt solution 2-3 times a day, someone - dozens of drugs, often antibiotics.

They are needed to fight infections for which the lungs clogged with thick viscous sputum are the most favorable environment. Then the number of inhalations reaches 10-15 per day. And this process continues for years. You need to use a powerful professional inhaler Pari so that the medicine gets into the lungs properly. Unfortunately, the usual models which cost 2-4 times cheaper, cannot cope with this work: part of the drug remains on the walls of the nebulizer, another part settles on the larynx without reaching the bronchi. Loss of precious milliliters drastically reduces the effectiveness of treatment…

Usually, the service life of the Pari inhaler is 5-6 years, and then you need to buy a new one for the person with cystic fibrosis. But frankly speaking, we are sincerely happy with the letters from the wards, where they write that their inhaler is already 6 years old. After all, this means that they grow up and generate new statistics that show that you can live a long life receiving the proper treatment. Now we can support them.

Let's help a few more girls or boys with cystic fibrosis get vital equipment.
