Breathing aids help people with snoring and chronic lung disease. Nasal breathing aids open and support nasal passages, while resistance breathing aids strengthen lungs. It’s important to choose the right size and use before taking inhaled medications for better drug administration.
A breathing aid is a device designed to help people breathe easier. Breathing aids are available to deal with problems such as snoring and to help people with chronic lung disease who sometimes have difficulty breathing. Many types of breathing aids are available at drug stores or can be ordered through supply catalogs. If a doctor specifically recommends a breathing aid to a patient, the doctor can also provide information about where to get it or provide samples directly from the office or clinic.
Nasal breathing aids are clips or straps designed to cover the nose. They open and support the nasal passages to allow air to flow more freely through the nose. These aids can be worn by people while they sleep to counteract snoring by preventing relaxation and partial closure of the nasal passages. They can also be worn during the day by people who have difficulty breathing through the nose due to relaxed nasal passages or partial blockages caused by mucus.
Disposable nasal breathing aids are available along with models made from plastics and other materials meant to be washed and reused. When selecting a nasal breathing aid, it is important to choose a model that fits your nose correctly. If the device is too big or too small, it won’t work as effectively and people may not benefit from it. Many companies provide measuring guides on the packaging to help people select the right size.
Another type of breathing aid is a device designed to use resistance breathing to strengthen the lungs. People with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma can have weakened lungs, as can people recovering from surgery. With a breathing aid, people breathe in and out through a device designed to provide resistance, forcing the lungs to work harder. This encourages better lung development and will allow people to breathe easier.
A device designed for resistance breathing is used several times a day in training sessions to promote lung and diaphragm health. These devices are small enough to carry around, for people who want to be able to use them on the go, and can also be used before administering pulmonary medications. Using a breathing aid before taking inhaled medications can help people breathe in more deeply to allow the medications to fully penetrate the lungs. Better drug administration can improve the general condition of the patient.
