Медицинская анимация. Использование противоастматического ингалятора

An Asma inhaler delivers a metered-dose of medicine in a mist that your child inhales into the airways of the lungs. Here are the steps for using a metered-dose inhaler:
1.Remove the caps from the chamber and the metered-dose inhaler. Shake the inhaler vigorously. Hold the inhaler upright with the mouth piece at the bottom.
2.Insert the mouth piece of the inhaler into the rubber-sealed end of the chamber. Waste two puffs in the chamber if the inhaler has either never been used, or not used for a week or more. The wasted puffs dont count as a dose.
3.With your child standing or sitting up straight, place the chamber into the childs mouth. Have the child breathe slowly in and out of the valve holding chamber several times. While your child is breathing in slowly, press the inhaler down once to release the medicine into the childs mouth.
4.After youve sprayed the medicine, have your child breathe in as deeply as possible and then hold their breath for 10 seconds.
5.Children who cannot hold their breath, should breathe in and out slowly during 3 to 5 breaths.
If additional puffs have been prescribed, wait one minute and then repeat the steps.
