However, the inhalation procedure, which is one of the simplest and effective ways treatment of respiratory tract diseases, which is usually easily tolerated by an adult, can become a source of discomfort and even complications for a child.
It is natural for children to be afraid of things that seem familiar and harmless to adults. A nebulizer that looks like a smiling, cheerful train helps the child to endure the inhalation procedure more easily, turning it into a game.

Advantages
The locomotive has a number of advantages that distinguish it from other models of devices:
Form
The original form allows children not to be afraid of inhalations. The nebulizer glows, there are bright stickers on it, its wheels spin during operation, and the main drawback that the compressor inhaler has is high level noise - turned into a virtue, since it imitates the sound of a working steam locomotive. From the point of view of children, noise, light and the release of steam make the train very attractive and similar to a real one, so the procedure ceases to cause unpleasant associations. Often the child waits until he can repeat it again.
Simplicity
The nebulizer is controlled by a single button, which you can ask your child to press, turning it into an element of the game.
Versatility
Both adults and children can do this (the kit includes an attachment for babies, so you can use the device to treat very young children).
Safety
The nebulizer will not burn the child with boiling water or steam, will not cause an allergic reaction in him or her and will not provoke the development of edema.
The train is a great solution. Treatment turns into a game that is understandable and interesting to the child.
Flaws
No device is without its drawbacks.
This device model has the following disadvantages:
- Volume. If there is little space in the apartment, placing a nebulizer somewhere so that it does not interfere can be problematic.
- Weight. A child cannot lift a train. For a weak adult, moving him from place to place may be difficult for some time.
- Noise. For an impressionable and timid child, even a train can become a source of stress.
It can also be difficult to explain to your child that the nebulizer is not a toy and to convince him not to touch him at inappropriate times.
Equipment
The standard package included with the compressor inhaler includes:
- The main unit of the device.
- Two masks – a children’s mask, which can be used for babies, and an adult one.
- Reservoir for filling medicine.
- Mouthpiece.
- Three replaceable filters.
- Air hose.
- A bag in which you can store the train and, if necessary, transport it.
- Two batteries.
- Instructions, including in Russian.
Carrying out the procedure
Before using the compressor inhaler to treat children, it should be washed in warm water and soap and dried.
- Assemble the nebulizer according to the instructions.
- Mix the medicinal solution (ten milliliters of medicine plus three saline solutions).
- Insert batteries into the train and pour the solution into the reservoir.
- Take a seat on a chair, placing the baby on your lap. Put a mask on him and ask him to press a big button. It is important to ensure that the child is calm, does not twitch, does not spin, and breathes evenly. You can invite him to play with the train: count the wheels, tell where the train came from.
- When ten minutes have passed, remove the mask from the baby and stop the compressor nebulizer. Dry the child's face with a towel.
- Disassemble the compressor inhaler, wash with warm water and soap, rinse thoroughly under running water and dry.
The procedure should be carried out in the morning and evening every day. If during this procedure the baby begins to have a severe coughing attack, it must be stopped immediately.
Caring for your device
Tips for caring for the device:
In order for the inhaler to last as long as possible, it must be used wisely:
- The aerosol sprayer must not be unscrewed during the procedure. If a child tries to do this, he must be stopped.
- The inhaler must stand steadily on a flat surface during inhalation. You cannot give it to a child.
- Do not pour the medicinal solution so that it overflows beyond the maximum mark in the tank, otherwise the liquid will splash.
- Do not leave medicine in the reservoir. If for some reason the medicinal solution remains, it must be poured out and the reservoir thoroughly washed with soap.
- The maximum inhalation time is fifteen minutes. For babies, three to five minutes is enough.
- Masks and mouthpiece should be used in individually. As a last resort, if two children or two adults are sick in a family, the mask should be washed thoroughly after each use.
- The filter needs to be changed when it becomes dirty or, if the compressor nebulizer has not been used for a long time, every month. The filters supplied with the basic configuration of the device will help keep it in good condition at first.
- From time to time, the inhaler needs to be wiped clean of dust if it has been left idle for a long time.
- The train is not a toy for children. When the device is not needed, it should be stored out of the reach of children so that there is no chance of damaging the device.
Inhalations must be carried out according to the rules, otherwise the procedure will do more harm than good:
- Inhalations should be carried out an hour after meals.
- After inhalation, the child should not be allowed to drink, eat or talk for twenty minutes.
- After the procedure, you should not let the child go outside: half an hour in the summer, two hours in the winter.
- Inhalations should not be carried out if the child is prone to nosebleeds, bleeding inside the lungs, if he has heart failure or a temperature above 38°C.
- Cannot be used for nebulizer essential oils, decoctions and herbal infusions - this can greatly shorten its service life and affect the child’s health.
- You cannot use mineral water, boiled water, and especially tap water to dilute medications. Only saline solution.
- You should not leave the nebulizer unwashed after the procedure - this can lead to the formation of mold and negatively affect the child’s health.
The locomotive inhaler will help your child stop being afraid of inhalations and turn the inhalation procedure into interesting game, which the baby will look forward to every day.
Advantages: The design is ideal for children. It even replaces watching cartoons to distract from the inhalation procedure.
Flaws:
- It cannot be properly disinfected. Soaking in acetic acid, which is recommended in the instructions, is not disinfection (I speak as a doctor). And when boiling everything melts..!!
- One child simply began to feel sick to the point of vomiting from this smell of vinegar, and we were unable to inhale.
- There is no division into inhalation for the lungs, bronchi and oropharynx. As a result, if you only have pharyngitis, you push the infection into the bronchi, and everything only gets worse...
A comment: I do not advise. You may infect other family members. As a result, we returned to the old Little Doctor LD-211C inhaler, where the chamber, mouthpieces and masks can be boiled. And which has three different sprayers.
For us, the compressor nebulizer turned out to be useless. We chose an interesting design especially for the child, but it still makes so much noise that the child goes into hysterics. It is very inconvenient to wash the nebulizer parts, even under running water. The mask constantly slips and needs to be held in place (the rubber bands don’t do their job). And one more drawback, although the manufacturers of the nebulizer have nothing to do with it - doctors cannot agree on what to fill it with. In general, we have it on the shelf.
Many respiratory diseases can be quickly and effectively treated with inhalations. Recently, doctors are increasingly recommending such procedures be carried out using nebulizers. These are special devices that allow you to spray medicinal solutions to the smallest particles, which then settle on the mucous membrane of the upper and lower respiratory organs. Manufacturers of inhalers have made sure that small children find it interesting to carry out such procedures. For this purpose, devices are produced in the form of toys. The little one will definitely like the Steam Locomotive inhaler and will make treatment enjoyable and safe.
General characteristics of the nebulizer
Compressor nebulizer Locomotive, or model B.Well PRO-115, is one of the developments of the Swiss company B.Well Swiss.

This device has improved characteristics compared to previous models. The locomotive nebulizer is equipped with a new type of atomizer, it has an improved compressor model and a reduced noise level. Both children and adults can be treated with this nebulizer.
The inhaler allows you to spray medicinal solutions to the smallest particles, which easily penetrate the respiratory organs and have a therapeutic effect. Due to such procedures, it is possible to get rid of persistent cough and runny nose in a short period.
The compressor nebulizer package includes the following accessories:
- nebulizer made in the shape of a train;

For inhalations to be effective, the mask must be correctly sized and fit snugly to the face.
Indications for use
The Chu-Chu-Train nebulizer is used in the treatment of respiratory diseases caused by both viruses and bacteria. Thanks to the small particles of medicinal solutions that fall on the mucous membrane, coughing up sputum is facilitated and the inflammatory process is reduced.
The main indications for the use of the locomotive inhaler are the following pathologies:
- acute respiratory diseases, which are accompanied by a severe cough and runny nose;
- bronchitis, including obstructive;
- pneumonia;
- laryngitis and pharyngitis;
- tracheitis and bronchopneumonia;

Inhalations are especially helpful in the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases. Thanks to regular procedures, the frequency of relapses is reduced and the severity of inflammation is reduced.
The locomotive inhaler can be used for prophylactic purposes to prevent colds. To do this, pour alkaline mineral water without gas or saline solution into the sprayer.
Advantages of the device
The advantages of the locomotive nebulizer manufactured by B.Well Swiss can be highlighted as follows:
- effective and at the same time safe treatment of respiratory tract diseases;
- During treatment, children are not nervous, since the device is in the form of a bright toy;
- the original shaped atomizer allows you to deliver fine particles of medication even to the lower parts of the respiratory organs;
- a special nozzle is provided for the treatment of runny nose;
- The set includes three masks of different sizes;
- operation of the device is completely simple;
- The nebulizer from this company is highly reliable and therefore lasts a very long time. Even with regular use.
The locomotive is designed only for the use of aqueous solutions, since the spray produces too small particles. If you pour an oily liquid into the device, it will clog the device and lead to its breakdown. For treatment with oily solutions, inhalers should be used in which the size of the sprayed particles is about 5 microns.
Small children are usually scared loud sounds, and they refuse any medical procedures that accompany them. The developers of the locomotive made sure that nothing frightened the baby. The inhaler makes sounds similar to the sound of a real train.
How to carry out the procedure
If the doctor has prescribed inhalation treatment, then first of all you need to buy medications according to the list. These can be expectorants, mucolytics, hormonal drugs, interferon and other medications. Most medications should be diluted with saline solution in the proportions specified by the doctor.
After purchasing the inhaler, you need to wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in an antiseptic or soap solution. The sprayer and mask are treated in the same way. It is strictly forbidden to wash the air pipe; it can only be wiped with a damp cloth from above.
The device is placed on a stable surface. This could be a table, bedside table or stool. The medicine is poured into the container and diluted with saline in the doses indicated by the doctor. An air pipe, a sprayer and a mask are connected to the device. After this, put the mask on the patient and turn on the device.
After inhalation is completed, the mask and container are washed with water, dried and only then stored in a linen bag. If several people use one mask at the same time, it should be treated with an antiseptic.
The air filter in the Parovozik compressor nebulizer should be changed periodically. You can determine its suitability by color.
Rules for using the device
You can only be treated with medications prescribed by your doctor. Their dosage and frequency of use must not be exceeded. You need to pay attention to the expiration date of medications. It is unacceptable to use solutions that have expired or were improperly stored.
To ensure that treatment is not only effective, but also safe, you should adhere to the following recommendations:
