COPING WITH PAH: Tips & tricks: Ventavis
Make each treatment quiet
  • The best way I've found to do the I-neb treatments is to concentrate on making each treatment as quiet as possible. Inhaling so quietly that it's almost silent guarantees a slow, gentle treatment that, strangely enough, is the fastest way to do the treatment.

Pipette
  • When you're without a pipette for whatever reason, you can get one of those coffee stirring sticks from any convenience store or fast-food restaurant and use the stir stick to draw liquid from the ampule.

Supplies
  • When getting all of your ventavis supply's, the easiest way I have found, grab a small baggie(zip), ampule, pipette, ampule breaker, alcohol wipe, put all of this in one bag. This is all that you need for one treatment. I put all my months supplies this way, it is much easier when I need to go somewhere. Also. the baggies fit easly in a purse or the bag that was sent with the I-nebs. You have everything you need for your treatment and then if you are out, you can also use the baggie for garbage (glass ampule).

Traveling
  • I carry a bottle of water and a travel-size bottle of baby shampoo with me at all times, just to rinse out my I-neb after treatments if I'm doing it in my car or somewhere else that is equally challenging.
