How long should a patient stay on nebulizer machine?

Typically, a nebulizer treatment lasts for about 10-15 minutes. However, the exact duration may vary depending on the individual patient's condition and the severity of their respiratory symptoms. The doctor or respiratory therapist will determine the appropriate treatment time based on the patient's specific needs.

A nebulizer treatment should be continued for as long as the patient is experiencing symptoms and until the medication has been fully delivered. If a patient is not feeling any relief after 15 minutes of treatment, they should talk to their doctor or respiratory therapist.

It's important to follow the doctor's or respiratory therapist's instructions carefully when using a nebulizer to ensure that the medication is delivered effectively and safely.
