A sodium chloride (NaCl) nebulizer - Portable Nebulizer Story
sodium chloride (NaCl) nebulizer 
A sodium chloride (NaCl) nebulizer system uses a nebulizer machine to turn a sterile saline solution into a fine mist, which is inhaled to help clear mucus from the airways and ease breathing. The solutions come in different concentrations for various uses.

Uses and Concentrations
Sodium chloride inhalation solution is available in various strengths, each with a specific purpose. It can be used alone or to dilute other prescribed medications for inhalation. 

Concentration  Type Primary Use
0.9% NaCl Isotonic (Normal Saline) Used to moisten airways, hydrate mucous membranes, and strengthen the natural protective function of the airways. It has the same salt content as bodily fluids.
3% to 10% NaCl Hypertonic Saline Used to thin and loosen thick, sticky mucus in the lungs, making it easier to cough up and clear. Higher concentrations are often used for conditions like cystic fibrosis.
Hypertonic solutions (3% and higher) can cause airway irritation or bronchospasm in some individuals and may require pre-treatment with a bronchodilator as directed by a healthcare provider. 

Available Products
Both the saline solutions and nebulizer machines are available over-the-counter and online. 

Saline Solutions
Saline solutions for nebulizers are sold in sterile, preservative-free, single-use vials to ensure sterility and proper dosing. 

Nebulizer Machines
The solution must be used with a nebulizer machine that converts the liquid into an inhalable mist. The type of nebulizer (compressor, mesh, etc.) can affect treatment time and particle size.
