摘要

體位引流及扣擊法是胸腔物理治療中一項極重要和有效的技術，但是近年來隨著呼吸治療的逐漸發展，我們發現在執行胸腔物理治療的同時，若是能夠配合屬於呼吸治療領域中的一些設備，將會得到更佳之效果，霧氣治療便是其中之一，尤其目前各大醫院均有設立或擴展呼吸治療之趨勢，物理治療人員與呼吸治療人員勢必在某方面發生角色重覆的現象，所以物理治療人員應該對平常較常接觸之呼吸治療設施有一概略的認識，才能夠相互配合，給予患者更佳品質之服務。
本篇簡單地介紹霧氣治療的原理、種類及其如何與胸腔物理治療配合運用。

The upper airway humidifies inspired air and thus maintain hydration of the mucous blanket. Disease process interrupt this water balance end necessitate supportive measures to either prevent airway water loss or add water to the airway. Aerosol therapy was to be found a very efficient method to resolve prior mentioned condition.
A medical aerosol ideally: (1) is a weak saltwater solution; (2) contains particles of1micron in diameter; (3) has water contents in excess of 100mg/1; (4) is delivered with the patient mouth breathing ; and (5) is delivered with deep and slow ventilatory pattern. Medical nebulizers can be subdivided into two general categories: (1) pneumatic (a) jet nebulizen, (b) hydronamic nebulizer, (2) electric: ultrasonic nebulizer.
The three clinical goals of aerosol therapy are: (1) an aid to bronchial hygiene; (2) a means to humidify inspired gases; and (3) a means to deliver medication.
Chest physical therapist should have a basic concept of aerorol therapy to improve the team work coorperation, and provide a more effective management for the patients.
