Kids can’t time the pump when to breath the meds. So they make the device so they don’t end up swallowing the meds instead of breathing

Live with an RRT - this is a spacer that basically slows down the puff from the inhaler so it's delivered more efficiently. Otherwise the ->
RobertDinero013
Meds are likely to just be sprayed onto the back of the throat instead of inhaled into the lungs. Tiny lungs need soft pressure not a blast
IHateCakeDays
How many Karen’s reported him for making a bomb?
Boobsnuggler
He made a spacer out of a water bottle and a plastic cup that had O2 bled in.
JennChant
That's awesome! MacGyver would be proud.

Tape? You can bring that to a plane? I once almost got arrested for binging micro zip-ties in my carry-ons to lock my bags. >

"Could be used as cuffs on the plane" said the TSA idiot to me
Zhopa101
Wow! Got it... He used an adult inhaler... ?
justdeepintheweeds
Macgyver lives!!!
nopost
"And an adult inhaler?" So it's like he made a computer out of a cardboard box, some duct tape, and a computer?
revabe
He made an adapter because the adult inhaler would have been essentially macing the poor coughing toddler.

Mcgyver approves.

What I find most amazing here is how he was able to get his hands on some tape, I haven’t seen tape since I went to school 15 years ago

So, he made a spacer, not an inhaler, but still pretty cool
Imnotaclevergirl365
So... is there a reason why they couldn't use the adult inhaler?.. is that the joke? What am I missing
oaberbyamd
He concocted a way of administering the ventolin plus oxygen. That's exactly what you get in a hospital. Been there done that.
spongebobmingepants
The vapour stays inside the bottle so as the child breathes from the cup they inhale all the med. If done directly they wont inhale it right
mediocredreams
Too much medicine for a child
Greeneyedfox
Yes, bc little kids can’t use regular/adult inhalers properly. They usually use a spacer that goes around their nose and mouth
wantanMike
Asthmatic as a child, u spray the inhaler into a chamber (bottle) and the baby inhales thru the chamber. Instead of...
wantanMike
Meds spraying into cheeks and throat and being swallowed. Most in Chamber goes into lungs more efficiently -asthmatic kid/adult
MySushi
The medication needs to be delivered to the pleural cavity, the inner lining of the lungs, to be effective. A wheezing person manages to 1/2

Get it stuck to the back of their throat by the force of the pressurized cylinder or their tongue, if it gets in the way. To take it... 2/4
MySushi
properly, you need to be able to inhale sharply, to draw the cloud of sprayed medicine dust into the lungs or somehow be able to match 3/4
MySushi
the pace of breathing to the delivery method, for optimal efficacy. A nebulizer helps get the steroids there, as does this makeshift device
giraffinator
Rough guess here is that he uses the adult inhaler into the water bottle then squeezes the bottle with the plastic cup attached to the kid
MidnightBaelfire
He made something called an aero chamber (sometimes called a spacer) to help deliver the medication to the child. Depending on the inhaler,

An adult dose can be different than a child's

My thoughts exactly
sbkay31415
Adult inhalers need tricky lip-sealing and inhaling to get the drug in. Guru's inhaler was a nebulizer, delivering the dose by oxygen stream
Terayon
Not quite a nebuliser, those will aerosolize a liquid, this was used to force the meds in, so not really a nebulizer or an inhaler
NewMoonRising
No joke. Adult inhalers are different than ones for children. He's a damn hero.
tg2222222
I prescribe the same Salbutamol inhalers to adults and kids here in the UK. The reliever inhalers can be same.
JHawke
I had the exact same inhaler when I was 4 till 14ish. It looked exactly like this one (but also with a chamber, unless in an emergency)
tg2222222
The inhaler is the same. He actually improvised a spacer device judging by the photo.
moggychan
It's misnamed. It looks like he made a nebulizer using all of those things. Conceivably the Kid's neb kit is what was packed away.
isaidsomethingcool
This sounds the most correct. My exwife had one and does look very similar; she used it more often than her inhaler
ETC1111
Correct....
Wabjebbers
Nebulizers disperse liquid medication this is a spacer for an inhaler
wantanMike
Chamber*
TheDoctorAzAJ
No. He just made a spacer. Not a nebuliser. Very different things
moggychan
Wouldn't need the oxygen tank if it was just a spacer.
HannaHPirhannaH
Must be a make shift nebulizer and not spacer, if it was just a spacer he wouldn't need the oxygen tank.
Terayon
I think it's not either really, it looks like he used the O2 tank to help push the meds into the kids lungs after his throat closed as 1/2
Terayon
Well as adding oxygen so they didn't suffocate, b/c it's an infant and getting an infant to breath properly for an inhaler normally is hard
link3000
More details if you google it - the child was having trouble breathing so a normal inhaler on its own wouldn't work
nikkinikorasu
I think this is a bit misleading. Rescue inhalers are a thing, and besides color denoting the prescription/brand, look identical. I only >>>
nikkinikorasu
<<< keep a rescue inhaler, as someone who rarely has asthmatic symptoms but whose symptoms can be very strong.
link3000
Also maybe a baby can't use a normal inhaler anyways? I have no idea
LisaFromOZ
They can’t, thats why we use a spacer on babies and young kids, for babies it goes over their nose and mouth while u pump meds into it
celestedrake
As someone hospitalized for asthma: inhaler is just straight up drug. You need air as well, and people who are having a hard time or too(1)
celestedrake
young would have a hard time breathing one squirt of an inhaler all at once. So you need a nebulizer that contains the meds while mixing(2)
celestedrake
it in with air so you can breathe it over time instead of in a burst.(3)
GodApollo
I love internet strangers second guessing actual doctors.
RailRabbit
Sounded like an honest question to me
HardcodedNumber
They are correct as a person who suffers from Asthma and uses two inhalers and a nebulizer
icookfoodandfightfire
adult inhalers are set a pressure that can hurt infants and toddlers if not done very carefully. Not to mention, good luck getting >

Infant can't cooperate. It's an adapter so you're not just macing the wheezing crotch goblin.

I had one of the adapters when I was a kid. To this day I don't remember why I needed the inhaler but I remember using it.

My oldest son has severe life-threatening asthma and once we were out in public without his adapter so we used a coffee cup from a cafe.

Fair enough, I have incredibly limited knowledge of the actual mechanical process of inhalers. It’s pretty lucky that this dude was onboard
